NS BIKES UR TEAM | Episode 3
The early season vibes are strong as we get closer to the NS Bikes UR team. These talented athletes have worked all year to have a chance to compete with the best in the world. Over the winter, the UR team spent all of their time training, mentally and physically preparing, and tons of practice time. This spring and summer they will travel the world racing in new countries week after week to experience a wide range of trails, sights and cultures along the way. The schedule can be grueling, but their passion for competition and speed combined with their championship dreams will keep them motivated and pushing their limits.
Feeling in tune with their bikes and getting setups dialed in for the different types of trails so they’re ready to perform to their maximum potential is one of the main goals of a mountain bike team‘s pre-season.
