Summary

Today’s episode is a little different. If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, you’ll know that it’s very much not about me, but today it is. For a while now, Neko has been telling me that he thinks people would like to know more about me. I guess for some of you, you’ve heard my voice for years now and I’ve not shared a whole lot about myself. So I finally caved in and let Neko take control of the questions. We sat down in Fort William and chatted about my background in mountain biking, my previous career in automotive engineering and how I eventually came to start the podcast. Hear about the challenges of making a mountain bike podcast your full time job and where the podcast is going in the future. Hopefully you enjoy finding out a bit more about me and where this whole podcast comes from. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Chris Hall.

0:00.0	Chris Hall, welcome to the downtime podcast. Thanks, Nico. Whoa, it's like steeping Rob Warner in the club
0:06.7	and get super excited but never speak to them, just like stare at them from from afar and admire them.
0:14.0	Flying round test tracks in a supercar in the middle of the night in Spain on secret test facilities
0:20.1	where you can't even take your phone in.
0:21.5	A wise person once said to me that you can pretty much ignore 90% of the stuff that gets
0:25.5	thrown at you, but the art is working out what the 10% is that you actually need to worry
0:29.6	about. I think that was a bit of a do-or-die weekend, to be fair.
0:36.3	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.
0:44.2	First up, a quick thank you to our supporting partner, Goreware. If you're seeking the highest quality clothing for cycling in all weather conditions, Goreware has you covered.
0:52.8	Their technical products are backed by quality,
0:55.2	engineering and innovation, ensuring that they last the test of time. You've probably heard of
1:00.2	their most famous product, Gortex, but they also offer a full range of riding gear beyond their
1:04.8	top-notch waterproofs. One standout product is the Endure Waterproof Jacket, which I absolutely
1:10.4	love, but I've also been
1:12.1	enjoying their trailkeeper short sleeve jersey paired with their passion pants. Both garments
1:17.0	are lightweight, well cut and super comfortable to ride in. They feature subtle branding, meaning
1:22.2	they look great on the bike without looking out of place on those post ride pub stops.
1:27.2	Goreware currently has an amazing offer and I'm about to make it even better for
1:31.5	downtime listeners. Right now, anyone can get 25% off when bundling a top and bottom in the
1:37.4	same car. This could be a trailkeeper jersey and passion pank combo or you can explore
1:42.5	their gravel, road and running ranges too.
1:45.4	For downtime listeners, you can enjoy 35% off until the end of August on all bundles by using
