Episode Synopsis

This is a special episode of The Inside Line as we had Jack Rice at the 2024 U.S. Open of Mountain Biking in Killington, Vermont.See photos from the event - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/why-ride-downhill-u-s-open-mountain-bikingThanks to FOX, Maxxis Tires and Jenson USA for supporting The Inside LineIt was the season ender to the Pro Downhill Series and with the final World Cup DH in Mont-Sainte-Anne next week, the field was stacked with Elite level pros from around the globe. Instead of the usual questions with only the top riders, we had commissioned Jack to search the pits and ask amateur riders a simple question - Why Downhill?While plenty of answers resonate with the excitement and action of what DH is, an overwhelming response praised the community as a reason for coming back to ride. It's the people that make our sport so great and it's our hope that the comradery of the #USDH community continues to grow.Interview contents0:00 - Intro1:09 - Meredith Burnette2:25 - Jamie Tate3:18 - Dusty Mason4:10 - Kerry Marshall5:02 - "Scott and the fam"6:33 - Jacob Dyke8:57 - Bailey Gunter11:04 - Cole Bernier13:40 - Jack Burnette21:54 - Tyson Henrie23:55 - Tabias Spencer24:59 - Lachie Stevens-Mcnab (Race Winner)25:47 - Nina Hoffmann (Race Winner)29:23 - Max Beaupre and Why NOT Downhill31:51 - Tegan Heap33:00 - Dylan Conte36:20 - Lucas Dedora36:57 - Anna Newkirk38:37 - Chris Grice39:50 - Clay Harper
