  • I am super lucky to have been invited out to Trans Madeira. To race the most epic week of mountain enduro racing, where some of the world's best enduro races and EWS athletes have come to race downhill mtb. I flew with my twin brother Jono & Ben. After upgrading Ben's bike we set off to ride some of the sick trails and filmed the whole day. Enjoy some epic POV downhill riding with wet and dry sections throughout, legends

    Jono and Ben both killed it with some quite impressive riding, pro and novice respectfully. Looking forward to see their progressions in the next couple of days, and the interesting content they'll provide during Matt's absence.

Enduro is literally insane stuff, you have to be hard as to do it at that level. I watched Dan Atherton of all people, after winning a race (transavalanche?) nearly toss his lungs on the ground... pure insanity. Ben really had no idea what he was doing, Matt was being a bit crazy taking him to that level of event. Anyways, enjoying the content, but hoping Matt is ok.

Mostly in situations with bright sun out and driving out of a tunnel by car (there are one or two here in Switzerland) where my brain really struggles to adjust for a few seconds.
    So, better treat head injuries properly and avoid things like this down the line...
