Jess Blewitt is a Natural

Jess Blewitt first rode a mountain bike in 2018, but her list of accomplishments is already extensive — including being the two-time New Zealand DH National Champ and having earned a top-ten finish at World Championships — and she’s only 19. So we had Jess on to talk about how she’s put it all together so quickly and how her background as a ski racer helped; her career highlights to date; her brutal crash at Snowshoe and how she recovered from it so quickly; what she’s got planned for 2022 — including a very intriguing teaser — and much more.TOPICS & TIMES:Ski racing &  transitioning to MTB (2:21)Learning to ride a DH bike & starting to race (6:54)Jess’ incredible 2021 season (12:18)Formation (15:11)Snowshoe crash & recovery (22:54)NZ National Champs (27:41)Fort William update (30:54)Racing vs. freeriding & doing both (33:34)What’s next?
