Freerider MTB MAG

Follow Gregory from Shillong, India, as he rides his bike down a river in Meghalaya! This looks fun!  Mountain biking is one sport that I love. Have been riding since I was a kid.

Before Alex and I started filming he had been building in the woods for weeks. He had just finished building 4 new features and was moving back to Nelson in 2 weeks. Time was running thin and we…
