HOW DO PROS TRAIN FOR DOWNHILL? 

With only a few short days between his herculean win at the NZ MTB Rally and the Air DH at Crankworx Rotorua, Matthew Fairbrother didn’t have time to mess around. As an unseeded dark horse on the Crankworx scene, Matt was slotted to drop in first for his race run, leaving him with only 2 hours to practice the course, dial in his lines and drop in against the clock.
The pressure was on.
To make the most of the short practice, Matt recorded his braking and got feedback from skills coach Jamie Garrod of New Zealand Mountain Biking on the gondola ride between practice runs. Follow along to see how Matt used his brakes, coach’s feedback and how his practice unravelled.
