Downtime Debrief is back. For fans of our ‘Downtime Goes Downhill' series you'll know my good friends Ben and Jonny who I've been racing downhill alongside for the last two seasons. For 2025, things have changed. Our race plans are heading in different directions, and we wanted to create space to talk about more than just our own racing. This is episode two of the series where we'll be getting together to chat about bikes. Whether that's our own racing, world cup drama, bikes, tech, products, basically whatever is on our mind. This is a bunch of fans talking about the sport we love. So if that sounds like your vibe, then settle in for episode two of Downtime Debrief. We'll be covering the first half of the downhill and enduro World Cup season, sharing our highs and lows so far. We'll then share how the first half of our own race season's have gone and what we've got planned for the rest of the season.

This week, I'm joined by Becci Skelton, a rider who proves that racing isn't the only path to building a life on two wheels. From multi-day adventures in Madeira to coaching, creating content, and inspiring others, Becci has forged her own route through mountain biking, one built on passion, authenticity, and persistence. We dive into the highs and lows of that journey: from managing health challenges like haemochromatosis, to tackling huge physical feats like her Everest at Dyfi Bike Park and competing on Ninja Warrior. Becci shares how mental strength, community, and staying true to herself have helped her thrive and how she's built a successful, supported riding career without following the traditional racing route. If you've ever wondered whether there's room in mountain biking to do things differently and still make it work, this one's for you. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Becci Skelton. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Becci on Instagram @becciskelly, watch her Everest video here and contribute to her Just Giving for that feat right here.

This week we're joined by Fox Racing's Head of Performance Cut and Sew, Keegan Reyfeldt to hear about their SpeedSuit RS which was launched last year and really got the internet talking. We're also hearing about the development of their all new full face helmet, the Rampage RS with Senior Director of Merchandising, Jarred Law. Fox is keen to push the limits of technology to make us faster, safer and more comfortable. That is evidenced in these two products and this is a fascinating deep dive into what went into these two ground breaking offerings.  Hear how Fox worked alongside their athletes to redefine downhill race kit, the advantages it brings and how they are already looking to the next step. We find out how Fox decided current helmet safety standards weren't keeping up with the increasing pace of the sport and how they remedied that whilst also significant reducing the weight of their full face offering. This episode really pulls back the curtain on what it takes to push the limits of riding gear. We kick off with Keegan to discuss the SpeedSuit and then hand it over to Jarred to cover the Rampage RS in a little under half an hours time. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Keegan Reyfeldt and Jarred Law. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can check out the new Rampage RS on Fox's website here.

Stashed founder Elliot Tanner has many talents, like making ultra-light climbing gear and designing components for Marker's Kingpin touring binding. But that's not all: he also built his own high-pivot, gearbox-equipped Enduro bikes, and that was before high-pivots or gearboxes were cool. But it wasn't until his family had amassed more bikes than they had room for that he got the inspiration to create a bike storage solution. We caught up with Elliot to chat about that first design, and how it went from something he built to solve his storage problem to the Spacerail Bike Storage System that is the foundation of Stashed, plus a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredStashedTOPICS & TIMES:Elliot's Engineering BackgroundDesigning Climbing GearMaking Marker KingPin ComponentsElliot's High-Pivot Gearbox BikesDesigning his First Bike Storage SystemFounding StashedManufacturing in WalesWhat's hanging on Elliot's Spacerail Favorite Place to RideCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicGEAR:30Blister PodcastCRAFTED Hosted on Acast.

This week we're catching up after a massive double-header in the Enduro World Cup. Val di Fassa and La Thuile delivered everything we love about the sport: big mountains, tight racing, and a few surprises along the way. Joining me to break it all down are two riders who know exactly what it takes to perform at the top, Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan. We get into what those Italian rounds were really like from the inside, from pushing through injuries and dialing in recovery strategies, to the chaos and buzz of night stages, and the emergence of some exciting new talent in both the men's and women's fields. We also took a moment to step back and reflect on the state of Enduro as a whole — where the sport is right now, what's working, and why this season has felt like a positive shift, both on and off the bike. This one's got insight, honesty, and a bit of that good race-weekend energy, so sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan.

This week's episode is a little different as it was recorded in front of a live audience. BOA invited me out to the Leogang World Cup and after the race we went to their office in Mondsee to record an episode with their supported athlete, Nina Hoffmann, in front of the BOA team. I want to say a huge thanks to BOA for inviting me over, it was great to meet the whole team and inspiring to see the focus and attention to detail that goes into the design of every product that features a BOA dial. After seeing that, it's really no surprise that the products are so good. Nina literally just bounced back from the biggest crash of her life, off the top of the wall ride in Leogang. We'll be hearing all about that crazy moment along with how Nina's dealing with both the physical and mental side of recovery. Nina discusses some of the changes she's made over the the winter, like bringing on a coach, getting to know a new mechanic and becoming a podcaster herself. It's an honest, inspiring conversation with one of downhill's most exciting athletes. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Nina Hoffmann. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Nina on Instagram @nina.hoff96.

Enduro is back and it feels like it might be turning a corner. After a couple of tough seasons, there's a real sense of momentum building in the sport, and we're here for it. In this episode, I'm joined by Greg Callaghan and Morgane Charre, two riders who've been at the sharp end of Enduro racing for years, to dig into the first two rounds of the 2025 EDR season. We're talking big changes: the return of two-day racing, a fresh energy in the pits, and a crop of new talent shaking things up. Greg and Morgane share their experiences from Pietra and Poland so we get the low down on what went on. We get into everything from course design and recovery strategies to weather chaos, injuries, and the impact of a brand new documentary series that's got people talking. There's still a way to go, but if the start of the season is anything to go by, Enduro's future is looking a whole lot brighter. So it's time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan.

This week I'm joined by one of the most consistent and respected riders on the downhill circuit, Troy Brosnan. We dive deep into the emotional and physical demands of racing at the highest level, and Troy shares what it really takes to stay at the top, from endless bike testing and tuning, to adapting to wild race conditions. We talk about pushing comfort zones at events like Hardline Tasmania, the challenges and rewards of switching to a new bike, and how technology is shaping the future of the sport. But it's not just about racing. Troy opens up about life off the bike too, sharing how becoming a father has impacted his life, his mindset, and even his performances on track. We also dig into the importance of long-term team relationships, working with a new mechanic, and how he's finding balance between being a world-class athlete and a family man. This is a rare, honest insight into the heart and mind of one of downhill's finest. So it's time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Troy Brosnan. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Troy on Instagram @troybrosnan and find his YouTube channel here.

Today we're joined by YouTube sensation and arguably the most famous mountain biker on the planet, Fabio Wibmer. Fabio rarely appears on podcasts, and in this episode, he opens up about topics he's never discussed in this format before. We dive into what drove his move from Specialized to Canyon and how he's built his personal brand into a global phenomenon. Fabio shares insights into his companies - Sick!, Nineyard, and Bikeflip - and even breaks down how his income is structured. We also explore how Fabio feels about fame and discuss the opportunities it brings like riding a MotoGP bike with Dani Pedrosa, passengering in an F1 car with Max Verstappen and thrashing Can-Am buggies with Travis Pastrana. Of course, we talk all things YouTube and content creation, including a behind-the-scenes look at his incredible Streif edit, where he tackled jumps at over 100kph with a spiked tire spinning inches below him. This was a fun, open, and truly unique conversation with one of the most captivating figures in mountain biking. So, it's time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Fabio Wibmer.

We're deep in the middle of the 2025 downhill team moves, and with all the structural changes the UCI has made to the downhill World Cup, things have gotten pretty complicated. This week, we're joined by Alan Milway, Norco Race Division team manager and coach to the stars, to help us break it all down. We'll go team by team, giving you the inside scoop on who's riding what and how we think it might shake out this season. Now, a quick disclaimer—this was recorded the day after the team submissions to the UCI, so not all the facts were available. In some cases, we've had to piece together the puzzle, and we might not have got it all spot on. Case in point: my biggest slip-up so far was speculating that Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres might struggle to make the top-15 team cut. Turns out, I hadn't realised just how many points Lisa Baumann racked up outside of World Cup racing. Top work, Lisa, and apologies to the team for underestimating you! Alright, this episode has heaps of insight ahead from one of the sharpest minds in the business. So, it's time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Alan Milway.
