We are excited to announce that Pinkbike Academy is now available on
Amazon Prime TV!
All 10 episodes are now live on the streaming service, so grab some popcorn and binge away. This is the third Pinkbike Originals show to make it onto Amazon Prime TV, after
The Privateer - Season 2 and
Full Enduro were added in April.
Pinkbike Academy is a mountain bike reality TV show that puts 10 aspiring professional riders through a series of competitions and elimination challenges to see if they have what it takes to make it at the top. The Pinkbike Academy champion will take home $25,000 cash and a 1-year professional contract with Orbea Bikes. The five female and five male
contestants range in age from 20 to 34 and come from various cycling backgrounds, each bringing unique personalities and skills to the table.
Filming for the first season took place at the Official Location Partner of Pinkbike Academy: Big White Ski Resort in Kelowna, British Columbia. Pinkbike Academy is supported by Fox Racing, Fox Head, Shimano, Orbea, GoPro, Garmin, Feedback Sports, Maxxis, PRO, Big White, Stans No Tubes, Trailforks and Ride Concepts.

I got it.
Next season thoughts:
- send them on all types of rides (XC, enduro, DH)
- send them overnighting and bikepacking in pairs
- Quick challenge: watch Friday Fails, pause before the actual fail and have them choose OTB/case/washout with a bonus for calling broken bike
- Atherton foxhunt type race with a pro
- let all the dropped riders vote for the winner
- Send everyone on a few regular trail rides so we can see who is fun to ride with
(vlad was r...ightfully dismisses)
[we have a lot to say about this series in the household...watched it all and are angry at everyone except Evan.]
