How and when did you get into riding?
I started BMX racing when I was 4 years old and then got into mountain bikes from there at the age of 13 through friends.
As a protégé of EWS World Champ Sam Hill, Australian MTB rider Troy Brosnan is one of the smoothest and fastest riders in the world of Mountain Biking. After finishing 3rd overall in the 2018 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup he is hungry for more success. We caught up with Troy to find out a little more about him.

My first ever bike was a 12" Dinosaur kids bike. My first MTB was a Specialized Hardrock.
I got into racing straight after getting on a MTB at 13y, I had so much fun but pretty sure I came last in Novice.
