  • Summary

  • Aged 14, Finn Iles took the world of mountain biking by storm. He won the famous Whistler Whip-off after a social media campaign (#letfinnin) swept through the community. That was the start of a Hollywood-style journey that saw him destined to reach the top of mountain biking.

    Winning almost everything before him in the junior ranks, his ascension to the top of downhill seemed assured. But not all Hollywood stories run smoothly.

    It took Finn four years on the pro circuit to win his first Downhill World Cup, but boy did he do it in style, on home turf at Monte-Saint-Anne in Canada, matched by iconic commentary from Rob Warner and Eliot Jackson.

    Ever since, Finn has demonstrated his consistency at the top level, coming within tenths of a second of that elusive next win.

    He sat down with Eliot and Rob to reflect on his whirlwind career to date, his progression as a rider, the intricacies of a downhill season and what the future holds for the darling of Canadian mountain biking. As you can imagine, the guys had a lot of fun with Finn.

    Enjoying Just Ride? Let Rob and Eliot know by emailing podcast@redbull.com – and we’ll see you in two weeks.
