About this listen

 Join Rob and Eliot as they sit down with Olly Wilkins, a true legend of the global Mountain Bike scene and all-round master of two wheels. From digging his first jumps in the Surrey Hills to sculpting 65-foot canyon gaps for Brendan Fairclough at Red Bull Rampage, Olly takes us through the ages and unpacks what keeps him smiling on (and off) two wheels. There’s a nostalgic look at the early 2000s dirt jump scene, we’ll uncover why the Surrey hills forged a generation of world-class riders, such as Bernard Kerr, Matt Jones, Sam Reynolds, and what really happens during those exhausting, emotional build-weeks in the Utah desert. The conversation also dives into urban downhill course design, the birth of The Ride Companion podcast during lockdown, and the importance of keeping biking fun - whether you’re chasing podiums or perfect whips. Want to know all about the ins and outs of mountain biking? This chat has everything. Next time on Just Ride? A superstar in the cycling scene joins Rob and Eliot in Salzburg. You’ll have to stay tuned to find out who (hint: he’s very busy in Italy right now). In the meantime, email justride@redbull.com to get in touch with Rob, Eliot and the team. #redbull #JustRide #cycling
