Today we’re joined by ‘Mr. Gas to Flat’ himself, Adam Brayton. Adam’s faced some serious challenges over the past couple of years, from changes in World Cup entry requirements to the unexpected shutdown of his bike sponsor, Nukeproof, right before the 2024 season. Despite these setbacks, Adam has kept pushing forward, racing whenever and wherever he can, and seizing every opportunity. In this episode, we dive into how he’s navigated these obstacles, his experiences at Hardline Maydena and Wales, and his thoughts on the massive new canyon gap. We also discuss the evolving landscape of World Cup downhill racing, the role of personality in today’s social media-driven world, and much more. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Adam Brayton.
