Shakar Yakthumba, rider of LifeCycle Nepal talks about his experience in Dharan:

"Well, I heard Dharan has lot of MTB trails. I had never been there. So this race gave me an opportunity to ride over there. When I was invited for Dharan Showdown 2015, I was very excited and motivated to race. My past results were not going well so I wanted a comeback. The race was about 6 km and 85% downhill."


"When I reached Dharan and went up for the track walk. Wow it was crazy, lots of switch backs and loose technical sections. I was quite impressed even though I love more bike park style. The trail I would describe as a technical Enduro course. Even though we did not get enough practice in the course due to certain circumstances it was fun despite some crashes. The race was really fun. Riders had a tough time rolling down the long trail. Finally the race was dramatically ended with me bagging the bronze medal." - Shakar Yakthumba
