Podcasts about downtime podcast

I'm Chris Hall, this is the Downtime Podcast, and you're tuned into your World Cup post-race show this time with Neko Mulally and Chris Kilmurray. Before we get into it, a quick ask… if you enjoy these shows and want them to keep happening, we really need your support. This series is fully independent, we don't have brand backing. Putting it together means paying Chris, Neko and Olly for their time, and getting to races where possible to bring you the best coverage we can. It's a big commitment, and it only works because of you. Last season, a few hundred of you stepped up and made it happen and we'd love to build on that this year. So if you're into World Cup downhill and want the best insight going, head to patreon.com/downtimepodcast and support from as little as £3 a month. It genuinely makes a difference. We'll also be bringing back things like our mid-season Patreon hangout with Chris, Neko and Olly, so you can get involved directly too. The racing in Lenzerheide was as intense as the sun that’s been hitting the track all week long. Riders tried to find the perfect line between enough and too much and those that did were rewarded. We crowned new winners, some overalls changed hands and there’s lots to dig into. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Lenzerheide post-race show with Neko Mulally and Chris Kilmurray.

This week we’re catching up with the one and only Katy Winton. We talk about Katy’s worst ever crash that she's been dealing with recently, how recovery has been going, and what that experience has been like, both mentally as well as physically. From there, we get into some of the adventure racing she's been doing, her trip to Red Bull Rampage, and the work she's been doing with Crankworx. We also talk about the progression of the women's scene, the current state of enduro coverage, and the challenge of trying to figure out what comes next. Katy still wants to race enduro, but as she explains, finding the support to make that happen isn't straightforward. There's a lot in this one, recovery, racing, the realities of the sport right now, and some honest reflections on where things are heading. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Katy Winton. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

The Santa Cruz Syndicate has a new manager and it's not necessarily who you'd expect. Rob Copeland's background isn't racing or the MTB industry, it's psychology and academia, yet now he leads one of the most exciting teams in the sport. With years spent at Sheffield Hallam University studying performance and human behaviour, could Rob be the man to shake up how MTB teams are run? In this episode we dive into what drew him to the Syndicate, how he made the transition from academia to elite sport, what he's already started implementing, and how he plans to lead some of the best athletes on the planet into the future. This is a conversation about vision, strategy, and the future of a team that's looking to redefine mountain bike racing. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Rob Copeland.

Thanks to Tourism Tasmania, I'm on the ground in Maydena this week, riding the trails, soaking up the atmosphere, and bringing you content straight from Red Bull Hardline. After day two of practice, I was invited to host a live show in front of a packed Maydena crowd, where I sat down with three riders taking on Hardline for the very first time, Mikayla Parton, Ryan Gilchrist, and Aaron Gwin. Different backgrounds, different careers, same task ahead of them. We talk honestly about the fear that comes with hitting these features for the first time, how each of them is working through that, and what it takes to go from simply surviving the track to actually riding it at race pace. This is a fun, open, and insightful conversation with three of the best in the sport, recorded live in Tasmania. So sit back, hit play and check out this Hardline Tasmania live show with Mikayla Parton, Ryan Gilchrist and Aaron Gwin. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

Today on the Downtime Podcast, we're sitting down with a Oli Zwar, a rider who's lived the full spectrum of what downhill racing can throw at you. From the spark of motocross as a kid in Australia, to finding his feet on the World Cup stage, to battling injuries that almost took the joy out of riding altogether. Oli Zwar's journey is about grit, growth, and the people who kept him going. We get into how Zwar Brothers Racing came to be, the highs and lows of life on The Union, and that breakthrough 2022 season where everything finally clicked. Oli opens up on the pain that robbed him of grip strength, the surgery that changed everything, and the mental resilience he's had to build along the way. It's an honest look at the realities behind race results, the importance of support networks, and rediscovering the simple joy of riding pain-free. There’s heaps to chat about, so sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Oli Zwar. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Oli on Instagram @oliverzwar.

Today on the Downtime Podcast, we're diving into one of the most talked-about stories in mountain biking this year. YT went into insolvency, the internet blew up with rumours and frustration… and then, founder Markus Flossmann bought the brand back. In this episode, Markus sits down with me for an open conversation to set the record straight. We dig into the questions riders have been asking and the things they've been angry about. The pre-insolvency fire sale. The downhill team's very public issues. The shutdown of YT's US operation. And ultimately, why Markus felt the need to step back in and rebuild the company he started. Markus also shares his vision for the future of YT along with a tease of some upcoming product. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Markus Flossmann.

Along the way, a bunch of you have stepped up through Patreon, and that's made a huge difference, so a massive thank you to everyone who's been part of that.

But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. Alright, it's the final round of the year and we're headed to the iconic Mont-Sainte-Anne.

I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our 2025 Lenzerheide pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do. Throughout the season, we'll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won't hear elsewhere. However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. So I've been funding it myself, along with the support of our wonderful Patreons. If this show means something to you, and you want to help me keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this. I know times are tight. But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. A big thanks to all the Patreon's who came along to our 'ask me anything' with Chris, Neko and Olly last week, I hope you all had fun. This week we're off to Lenzerheide for round 8 of the 2025 World Cup. With the season heading into its final stretch, every point counts and the pressure's at boiling point.

I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our La Thuile pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do. Throughout the season, we'll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won't hear elsewhere. However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. I honestly considered not running the series this year, but I love doing it and from what all of us involved have heard trackside from the fans, you love it to.  So I've decided to fund it myself, for now. But if this show means something to you, and you want to keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this. I know times are tight. But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. Another week off, but we're staying in Italy as we head to La Thuile for it's first time hosting a World Cup downhill. We've visited here before with the Enduro World Series and found a steep hillside littered with challenging loamers, but what will they put together for the downhill crew? As always there's heaps to dive into, so without further ado, here's Chris Kilmurray. Podcast Stuff Patreon I would love it if you were able to support the podcast via a regular Patreon donation. Donations start from as little as £3 per month. That's less than £1 per episode and less than the price of a take away coffee.
