Welcome back! 

In this episode of the show, we have Chris Mildon. Chris grew up in New Zealand and has been riding bikes for as long as he can remember. From hacking around his town’s old dump on homemade bikes as a kid to BMX racing in the ’80s, he eventually found his wheels of choice - the Mountain Bike. Since then Chris enjoyed some competitive years racing downhill and cross country, before starting on his path to become a Mountain Bike instructor where he now shares his huge passion for the sport.

These days, Chris is based out of the sunny coastal town of Nelson and travels all over New Zealand teaching Mountain Biking through his business, Mountain Bike Skills Clinics. As it works out, Chris also happened to be my first ever mountain biking instructor when I lived down in NZ - the unlucky bugger!
