Ep 56 – Ysaline Van Kampen: Getting Into Enduro

Skids & Giggles Mountain Bike Podcast

Show Notes

We sat down with Ysaline Van Kampen to talk about getting into Enduro, bike racing and her own path into the sport. Having grown up as a ski racer in a ski town, Ysaline found the love for the mountain bike on her home trails in the Chablais region and, over the last few years, has competed at almost every level in Enduro. She has a great perspective on the different development paths, skills and the necessary race craft that led her all the way to the premier level in the sport and we take the opportunity to discuss some of the steps and ways to get into the discipline, especially for younger riders. The Swiss Enduro Series is providing an exciting platform for young riders to get a taste of the sport, but there are many other ways to be so Enduro! Let us know your best tips in the comments or in a short message and we'll take it up in a next episode!
