Improve Your Race Preparation and Mindset With Olly Morris

Olly Morris as an experienced coach and elite level rider who works with both the Mondraker downhill team and Laurie Greenland. With my attempt at the EWS100 just around the corner, I decided it was time to give Olly a call and get his help. We chat about how to approach the race to give myself the best possible chance of performing well. From classifying stages to finding the rhythm of a trail, there is some great advice here. We also catch up on how Olly has been working with the Mondraker team riders this season and get some insight into Laurie’s performance at the Fort William world cup from Olly’s perspective. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Olly Morris. You can follow Olly on Instagram @ollym1 and find his coaching website here. Supporting Partners CushCore I’ve been using CushCore for a few years now and yeah they help protect your rims, but what I really love is what they do to the way the bike rides. The bike is more damped, it rolls faster and maintains momentum better over rough terrain. They really do allow you to go bigger, corner harder, and ride faster with total confidence. CushCore have amassed 24 EWS wins and 94 podiums. In World Cup downhill they have 27 wins 96 podiums, 7 world championships and 3 world cup overall champions. Pretty impressive eh! If you want to go bigger, corner harder and ride faster with total confidence then cushcore.com is the place to head. Canyon Canyon have just launched their massively updated Strive, which is a no compromises enduro race bike. Designed with feedback from the Canyon race team, including Jack Moir and Fabien Barel, alongside Canyon's talented engineering teams pushing the limits of what's possible, the new Strive is a force to be reckoned with. Designed to be the fastest bike over any given enduro, it uses Shapeshifter technology to provide a bike that descends and climbs like nothing you've ridden before.
