Show Notes
If you follow the high octane, high action, and the highly skilled sport of downhill mountain biking then you will know the name Tahnée Seagrave… if you don’t then it doesn’t matter, as this is an episode of the podcast you need to hear regardless.
Tahnée is a multiple World Cup winner, athlete for Red Bull and Fox Racing, but after a major crash she feared for her future in the sport. Injuries aren’t uncommon but Tahnée suffered a serious concussion that has kept her off her bike and thrown up walls to scale that simply weren’t there before.
Kris speaks to her about the accident, the fallout, and the work to get riding again as well as how to embrace femininity in a male dominated sport and redefining females within it. At the time of her accident Tahnée was being follow by a film crew. What has been produced, was a very very different documentary to the one that it began life as.
