About this episode
Aaron Gwin discusses his plans to return to competitive downhill racing and his journey to regain peak fitness.
Alright, thanks to Tourism Tasmania I’ve been on the ground here in Maydena, bringing you some great conversations. This week, it’s Aaron Gwin. Five-time overall World Cup champion, but that’s history. This episode is about what’s next. We dive into the move to Frameworks, his plan to ‘go dark’ and get back to his very best, and what Hardline Tasmania was really like from inside the tape. We talk about sharing the pits with teammate and phenom, Asa Vermette, and how that dynamic is shaping up. He also opens up about rebuilding his fitness, the motivation that’s still driving him, and what he expects from the season ahead. It’s a laid-back chat with one of the greatest the sport has ever seen, heading into what could be the most exciting downhill season in years.
