What happens when you put a regular rider, like me, on a World Cup downhiller's custom prototype bike? Well I was lucky enough to get the chance to ride Neko Mulally's Frameworks high-pivot prototype to find out. Hit play and hear how I got on.

If you'd like to see some footage of me riding the bike then you can find that on my YouTube channel here.

If you'd like to see some more in-depth tech on the bike then I have a bike check video here and Neko has tonnes of content on his YouTube channel here.

Also a massive thanks to Ride Kanuga for making it possible. Definitely head there for a ride if you're ever in the area.
