Style Check: World Cup Women’s XCO


It’s always interesting to watch different riders tackle the same section of trail. Line choice and riding style are well analysed in the world of downhill, but rarely in XCO, even less so in Women’s XCO. Flow set up shop trackside at the Cairns World Cup during the Elite Women’s XCO to capture the different lines and styles of some of the world’s leading women over this tricky off camber rock roller/hip jump.
