He got 13th at the US Open DH race in big bear last year. The event was stacked and Im pretty sure it was his first ever dh race.
I myself race mountain bikes and Im not gonna lie, I think that slopestyle/"trick style" mountain bikers constitute the very pinnacle of bike handling skill/talent within our sport.
Kasper getting it done on the enduro bike is very impressive. If he keeps this up, wouldn't be surprised if a few WC DH teams reached out for next year.
Ya thats insane with legit wc downhillers in the mix like Mark Wallace and McDowell. Not sure how close he was to Finn but not having a dh bike is a definite disadvantage. The only real pedal section is short
Amazing results for Brett. he’s a very talented rider but also it isn’t a racer type but I can’t image if he spent as much time training to race as he does slope style how fast he would be
I actually watched this whole event instead of getting bored which is a new one for me and I've been doing this for a while so don't try to make that comment.
You know who is amazingly interesting and articulate when talking in public about racing, despite minimal practice? Finn Iles. (see recent RedBull DH Rebroadcast) NB I'm not disagreeing, Cam is very good.
