About This Podcast

Downtime isn’t just another mountain bike podcast. It’s THE podcast for those who live and breathe gravity riding. Whether you’re chasing podiums or simply pushing your own limits on the trail, Downtime is your essential source for staying ahead of the curve. Downtime connects you with the key figures from the gravity community – the athletes pushing the limits, the mechanics wrenching on the fastest bikes, the industry insiders driving innovation. We bring you their perspectives and expertise, giving you a deeper understanding of the sport than anyone else. If you’re the kind of rider who analyses every line, dreams of perfect flow, and can spot a high-pivot at ten paces, then you’ve found your people. This is Downtime – where true gravity MTB fans get the edge.
