We recently announced the Junior DH World Champs team, so we’ll share some young gun shredding this week. Kids these days are all over the social medias.
Current Junior National Champion, Baxter Maiwald, has been in Europe racing World Cups in preparation for the World Champs in Cairns this September.
Baxter is pretty handy with a camera too, and had been producing some great little edits of his mates, like this one of Jack O’Hare.
And another of Jack by Baxter.
Oceania Champ, Josh Clark hit the Nico Vink line in Châtel Bike Park.
Another Baxter Maiwald edit, of Josh in Morzine. Check out the last jump!
