About this episode
This week’s episode is a little different as it was recorded in front of a live audience. BOA invited me out to the Leogang World Cup and after the race we went to their office in Mondsee to record an episode with their supported athlete, Nina Hoffmann, in front of the BOA team. I want to say a huge thanks to BOA for inviting me over, it was great to meet the whole team and inspiring to see the focus and attention to detail that goes into the design of every product that features a BOA dial. After seeing that, it’s really no surprise that the products are so good. Nina literally just bounced back from the biggest crash of her life, off the top of the wall ride in Leogang. We’ll be hearing all about that crazy moment along with how Nina’s dealing with both the physical and mental side of recovery. Nina discusses some of the changes she’s made over the the winter, like bringing on a coach, getting to know a new mechanic and becoming a podcaster herself. It’s an honest, inspiring conversation with one of downhill’s most exciting athletes. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Nina Hoffmann.
