Chris Hinds began his year thinking it was going to be business as usual until Nukeproof Racing needed a new mechanic and he was in the right place at the right time.

Trek- Trek have been making bike s since 1976 and since then they have been pushing what can be done with a bike. There is a reason that some of the best like brandon semenuk, Reece Wilson, Valli Hoel, Harriet Burbridge, Mike Ross and caroline buchanan ride them, they bloody rip. I am stoked to have them on board this year as we begin to grow at a huge rate.
