Our first podcast from Nissan studios!
Wyn Masters joins Olly and Davi for a quintessentially British al fresco podcast. In this episode, Wyn discusses how living in various countries has shaped his personality and his ongoing quest to find new riding companions. He also opens up about fatherhood, offering hilarious advice for new dads on time management, social media, and why he believes kids don’t need the most expensive bikes. Wyn further shares his insights on the current state of downhill racing, what he thinks sets Amaury Pierron and Loic Bruni apart from the rest of the field, how the privateer project really works, and much more.

We hope you enjoy this episode and are as excited as we are about our new mobile setup, courtesy of Nissan!
