Today I was lucky enough to sit down for a chat and then go for a ride with Ollie Lowthrope.
Ollie is a professional mountain biker based out of Squamish, here in BC. Originally from Jersey in the Channel Islands of the UK, his roots lie in XC racing, having competed from a young age and most notably at the commonwealth games in Australia back in 2018.
These days, his riding taste has evolved to match the gnarly environment he now calls home. Much of which he captures and posts on his popular YouTube and Instagram pages which are known for steep granite slabs, stylish flow, and of course the infamous rubber ducky on his handlebars.
We dig into some of the challenges with pressure and injury he faced in his racing days, and how that has now shaped his laid-back ‘do-it-for-fun’ approach to riding.
This has led to a healthy relationship with assessing risks, fear, and self-belief, all the while riding some pretty nerve-wracking terrain.
Listen in as we dissect these processes and of course, have a laugh or two along the way.
-You can find Ollie online @Ollielowthorpe on Instagram and @Ollielowthorpe on YouTube.
Enjoy! - Jake Johnstone
