Mountain biker

BIO

Hey there! I'm Sharn. I'm relatively new to mountain biking, having started less than a year ago. I began mountain biking in May of last year. My mother first introduced me to it in 2019 and I've been hooked ever since. Lockdown provided a lot of free time for everyone, and it was a great chance for me to become more serious about mountain biking.

As part of my journey into the sport, I've travelled all over England and Wales. However, it has not been without its challenges; being asthmatic posed a significant challenge, but mountain biking has in general helped me improve my health and endurance.

Since I have asthma, I turned to downhill mountain biking because it is fast-paced, exciting, and does not require much climbing which agitates my airways. In the midst of it all, I launched a YouTube channel named "RideWithSharn".

I just reached 1000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, which tracks my beginner's journey into mountain biking.

Current FOCUS

I now devote my time to learning new skills such as drops and jumps. I am also working on promoting Inclusivity and the representation of minorities in the sport. I actually own a Jamis Dakar A2 2020, which is my primary bike and which I adore. I also have a Vitus DH Dominer bike Zee, which I got for hitting downhill oriented trails because it has so much travel. Ideally I'd like to have one of each kind of bike in the future.

Happy Shredding!
