Summary
Jackson Goldstone is the UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Champion rewriting the sport at 22 years old. From Squamish, British Columbia — the place built to raise a downhill world champion — Jackson breaks down four straight World Cup wins on his way to the 2025 UCI title, his redemption victory at Red Bull Hardline 2025, the rivalry with Loic Bruni, and why his flow-state riding style is forcing every team on the circuit to adapt.
Jackson's style is changing downhill MTB. Every rival team is filming him to see what lines he's on and what he's doing different. This is a conversation about raw speed, mental pressure at the top, the first 48 hours after a career-shaping crash, and what's next for one of the most dominant athletes on two wheels.
In Chapter 396, Jackson Goldstone reveals:
- Winning four World Cup rounds in a row on the way to the 2025 UCI World Championship
- The full redemption story at Red Bull Hardline 2025
- The first 48 hours after his 2024 Hardline crash
- Why he refuses to run electronic suspension
- Racing Loic Bruni at Andorra 2025
- His lifelong moto background and how it shaped his riding
- Running a balance bike to kindergarten in Squamish, and how that path led to Santa Cruz Syndicate
- Why downhill MTB is entering its prime era

| 0:00.0 | If there was a place built to raise a mountain bike world champion, it would be Squamish, British Columbia. |
| 0:09.0 | A landscape defined by steep mountains, endless trail, and terrain that demands creativity from anyone who rides it, |
| 0:16.0 | and from that environment emerged Jackson Goldstone. |
| 0:19.0 | Fluid, creative, effortless. Jackson has already |
| 0:22.5 | influenced how the next generation approaches riding. His style is shaping the direction of the |
| 0:27.4 | sport and his speed is forcing everyone else to adapt. I would say my style has changed the sport. |
| 0:32.6 | Like definitely people are looking at it. Like that's not a lie. Like every single team is |
| 0:36.3 | filming me to see, you know, what line him on or what I'm doing different. It changed my sport, you know, like what I do. But it's not going to change Loik's sport. But with that speed comes expectation. Pressure, most riders spend a career learning how to carry. Jackson Goldstone wins four World Cups in a row. |
| 0:55.6 | Matching Aaron Gwyn's record with four wins in a row on his way to a UCI World Championship, |
| 1:01.0 | it's clear the benchmark just moved. |
| 1:03.4 | When Jackson is on, everything looks natural. |
| 1:06.1 | Flow and feel take over. |
| 1:08.1 | And the hardest runs in the world start to look effortless. |
| 1:29.5 | As fans of two wheels, all we can do is watch greatness unfold in real time. And that one had like a different vibe to it completely. Everything was like calm in a different mindset. I almost like knew I was going to win and it's like it's already done. Like I know I'm in position and I just have to go out there and like muscle memory and just like do it. |
| 1:30.6 | You know, like it's already there. |
| 1:33.5 | Gypsy gang, welcome Jackson Goldstone to the podcast. |
| 1:42.5 | I'm going to interrupt this podcast to bring you a pretty crazy statistic. |
| 1:46.0 | 70% of people that watch this channel are not subscribed. That does a couple of things. A, that means that you might not be getting |
| 1:50.4 | served this content the minute that it comes out. And it also just tells YouTube that |
| 1:55.0 | man, are not really worth watching. So if you want to support the podcast, the easiest and quickest, most high impact thing you can do is subscribe to this channel, give this podcast a like, and leave a comment down below to let us know who you would like to see on Gypsy Tails next. |
