Bike Radar calls 2011 World Champion Downhill Mountain Bike rider Danny Hart "the most technically gifted and stylish racer in the world".

20 year old Danny cemented his title with his legendary run in Champery, Switzerland in September was currently defending his title's rainbow stripes until an injury at Les Deux Alpes put him out of contention.

As British Cycling puts it:  "Sometimes in the career of a top sportsman, there comes a day when everything comes together and a performance of near perfection results." 

Danny Hart experienced his ?perfect day? when he won the World Downhill title on a rain-ravaged course which had defeated the best riders in the world, with a ride of such skill and flair that it almost defied description."




Judge Danny's skills for yourself in this hysterical 3 minute commentary of his run which has gone down in YouTube history as legendary in itself.

About Anna... Danny will be interviewed by racing cyclist Anna Glowinski, presenter of ITV's Cycle Show & head designer for cycle style brand, AnaNichoola.


Read more about Anna in an interview by Coven magazine editor Juliet Elliot for Red Bull.

Cycling's in Anna's blood.  She rides for Team Mule Bar, dabbling in all disciplines - track, road, MTB, BMX and Downhill - as long as it has two-wheels she'll be on it!  Recently she's even been on tour with Scottish stunt team The Clan (founded by YouTube sensation Danny MacAskill).

Anna says her range of performance women's cyclewear collection AnaNichoola aims to both "capture the thrill of bike riding and allow riders to push their boundaries in comfort and style".


Film

Following Danny's talk we'll show Red Bull's latest epic. 'Where the Trail Ends' (80 mins)  Mountain bike pros Darren Berrecloth, Cameron Zink, Kurt Sorge and co. are on a mission to redefine Big Mountain Freeriding.  It was the most demanding trip of their careers - for them the adventure started Where the Trail Ends.

Described as: "The most progressive and ambitious mountain biking ever attempted caught on film in an adventure unlike anything experienced before in breath-taking locations all over the world."

This is the full feature length version of the film released in September this year.
