Summary
Today I’m joined by Kaos Seagrave. Kaos recently made the decision to move away from racing to focus on his freeride career and it seems to have been the best move he could have made. We chat about growing up in racing and the pressure he felt as the elite male on the team. Hear how he found his way into the freeride world and how that has ultimately become his focus. We chat about Red Bull Hardline, what it would be like it if became a series, winning whip offs, Rampage and plenty more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Kaos Seagrave.
You can follow Kaos on Instagram @kaosseagrave. If you’d prefer to watch the episode, you can do that on YouTube here.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Chris Hall and this is the downtime podcast where we're going to be taking you deeper than ever into the gravity-based side of mountain biking. |
| 0:11.5 | First up, a quick thank you to our supporting partners who've got some great offers for you. |
| 0:16.2 | Goreware is from the people who invented the most well-known and respected material in outdoor clothing, |
| 0:26.3 | Gortex, so you know their bike clothing is going to be really good. Since 1985, Gawware has been enabling us to get out on our bikes in all weather conditions in comfort. Based on quality |
| 0:30.7 | engineering and innovation, Gawware makes technical products that last the test of time. So if you |
| 0:35.5 | like to get out and ride whenever and whatever the weather, |
| 0:38.1 | then Goreware is the clothing for you. A Goreware jacket has been a staple part of my riding |
| 0:42.8 | pack for many, many years of riding and commuting, and I've recently spent some time using their |
| 0:47.1 | latest range and it's awesome stuff. Their new Endure jacket uses Gore-Tex technology to make it a jacket |
| 0:52.9 | that is incredibly lightweight at just |
| 0:54.8 | 272 grams, durable waterproof with a guaranteed to keep you dry promise and highly breathable too. |
| 1:01.1 | With a drop tail and an over-the-helmet hood that's providing you with extra riding protection, |

| 1:10.1 | chose to pack for the Stone King |
| 1:11.4 | Valley and I'm really glad that I did. Then there's a firm flow range which includes a super |
| 1:15.7 | comfortable lightweight and highly breathable liner short as well as shorts and pants. The shorts |
| 1:20.1 | utilise four-way stretch fabric for total freedom of movement and the firm flow pants are a great |
| 1:24.5 | option when the temperatures start to drop and you've got spray or drizzle in the air. |
| 1:28.6 | If you want to try Goreware's latest range, then they're very kindly offering downtime |
| 1:32.5 | listeners 20% off the entire range until the end of August. Just use the code downtime 20 at the checkout |
| 1:38.6 | over on Goreware.com. This offer works in both the US and EU web stores. That's downtime all in capitals, followed by |
