Meet Chris Keeling from Kathmandu, Nepal. Chris arrived from out of nowhere and blew away the young European riders at last year's Megakids bike comp, by hammering into first place on his hardtail. He's leading the way for a new generation of young Nepali riders who the western world need to keep their eye on.
He introduces us to his local scene in Kathmandu, shows us one of his favourite trails, and talks about how he managed to leave a load of shocked faces in France last summer. Guess what? Nepal could be the future of Mountain biking!
And this young nepalese chap seems like a pretty chill dude. Won the Mega Avalanche juniors on a hardtail, but doesn't display any ego over it whatsoever. Chapeau.
Theres one lift already in Manakamana, but yeah gonna be great when Kathmandu valley gets that going on, or when Heli lifts get cheaper!
