Post Content
A few months ago, we sent Charlie, one of our staff at GMBN HQ, out on a Downhill bike for the first time to see if the 200mm of travel and confidence-inspiring ride would result in a faster time on a track he usually hits on his trail bike. Charlie showed some promise on the DH bike, so we’ve arranged a coaching session from one of the UK’s best downhillers, Axess Intense Factory Racing’s Joe Breeden. Can Charlie improve to lay down a better time on a new track after just a day of Joe’s instruction?
