What Does a World Cup DH Rider Do In Between Races?

World Cup racing may be a full-time job, but for most of the year, that doesn’t actually involve racing DH bikes at ludicrous speeds down steep, windy tracks. For the best racers in the world, that downtime is filled everything from strength training in the gym, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family. Oh and of course, it’s still about riding bikes every chance they get.

The biggest thing she learns is that while riding bikes may be her job, it’s exactly what she wants to be doing.
