Making Up The Numbers Podcast: Bernard Kerr: Are World Cup Jumps Too Dangerous?

Blenki to Cube? Madison to quit DH? A new rider on Pivot Factory Racing? Just some of the team rumours discussed in this episode of the pod. We’ve also got the inimitable Bernard Kerr talking about hitting those 90ft Hardline jumps for the first time, his love of women’s racing and if he could add any rider to the Pivot FactoryRacing team, who would it be? Plus, do World Cup jumps need new standards, like motocross, to make them safer? And does anyone know what’s happening with ESO next season?

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
