Jess Stone - MTB Downhill star of the future!
Good news for Jess Stone, a relatively new name in riding from the West Midlands. 18 year old Jess, the British Junior Champion, finished 23rd in the World Cup Downhill at Schladming in Austria, just missing out on the final by 8 seconds, which is a brilliant effort.
Says Jess of the 5.10 Impacts…
“I actually don't know what I would have done without them to be fair... they were amazing - i found myself clinging onto the pedal with just my toe at times - any other shoe and I would have lost my footing! I'm really impressed with their performance! I know they're only shoes but they saved my skin a few times there, especially as the track got really rough over the weekend.”
We think Jess Stone is going to be a name to look out for in the future.
