PRESS RELEASE: Polygon BikesWe are super stoked to release Episode 4 of This is UR World Season 3. This episode tells the story of a talented cross-country mountain biker, Kenta Gallagher, who decided to stop his career as an endurance athlete and become a Downhill mountain biker.
Kenta started riding cross-country at a very young age and rapidly progressed to XC World Cups and even won the XC Eliminator race at the World Cup in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic back in 2013. But then, in 2015, Kenta decided to change paths and do what he had what he always wanted to do, ride Downhill.

In only his second season racing Downhill, in 2016, Kenta managed to be the highest ranked privateer in the overall standings. Something that definitely proved that he had chances to succeed and to pursue his dream, which was to become a professional mountain biker. The year after, he joined the Polygon UR Team.

We followed Kenta throughout the year, from Downhill World Cups, to Enduro World Series, to his home in Inverness, Scotland, to capture what his life is all about: racing, shredding, and having fun on his bike. Kenta is a super versatile biker, whether he’s riding cross country, road, enduro or downhill, he is always pushing hard to achieve his goals and to work towards his dream.
MENTIONS: @Polygonbikes
The track in much of the video is my local, built with my own fair hand and shot before my son and I put the new final bottom section in (still needs properly completed) at the end of last year, she looks great from an aerial view.
