U.S. downhill mountain bike racer, Charlie Harrison, joins us on The Inside Line to discuss his race career, injury and why he's decided to retire. Charlie has seen success with multiple World Cup DH podium results over the years. We talk about how he went from motocross racing to finding downhill MTB, career highlights, riding for Intense Factory Racing and Trek Factory Racing. As injury plagued the end of his time on the track, Charlie decided it was time to hang up the number plate and set his sights on a career in firefighting. He continues to ride regularly and does bike test work for Santa Cruz on occasion. #MTB #mountainbike #usdh Video contents0:00 - Using PVC Pipe as Fake Roots on a DH Track3:03 - What is SoCal Speed Team6:37 - From Moto to MTB13:06 - Will We Ever See Skatepark Chuck Again?16:05 - DH Race Progression / Fontana24:54 - World Cup Visions28:14 - First World Cup DH Success36:45 - Getting Comfortable at World Cups39:06 - Riding for Intense Factory46:08 - Breaking into Top 10 at the World Cup49:57 - Moving to Trek Factory Racing56:00 - Reece Wilson Story1:00:45 - Plagued with Injuries1:13:59 - Retiring from DH Racing1:20:56 - DH Training Program1:24:23 - Outside Hobbies and Overlanding1:28:32 - Helping with Santa Cruz1:32:52 - Embarrassing CrashWatch the episode - https://youtu.be/WYbuPIpYCkI
