Downhill mountain biking and competition is alive and well in Golden.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with Finnegan Craig and Cody Wharton, two of Golden's top young riders. In this episode you will hear about how they ride bikes, have fun with their friends and push each other to ride stronger and more efficiently in competitions. Their aim is to get to the world cup level and they are having a damn good time on their way there racing in the Dunbar Summer Series and the BC Cup. You will hear stories of great friendship, fantastic trips, great family time, great support from Selkirk Ski and Bike  and their ability to encourage one another to both raise their level of riding and their level of character. These guys are awesome and I was truly impressed with what they had to say.  Enjoy getting to know them.

I brought back the music of Cadence Schmidt  to make it a fully Golden Secondary School Episode. The youth of today are doing amazing things, pay attention...

To get an idea of what the Dunbar Summer Series looks like, check out this video of Nationals at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort: https://youtu.be/IMGbaRfOP4w

BC Cup at Coast Gravity. Since I'm focused on youth, here's a video of the event through the eyes of an 11 yr old participant: https://youtu.be/ecp8WNKHGKE

World Cup. There are no lack of videos. I chose this RAW video to link so that you can really get a feel for what these riders are doing.... it's super gnarly. Huge props to Cody and Finn for what they do: https://youtu.be/OjnL3WFedQ0
