Behind the scenes with Louise Ferguson in a landmark moment for mountain biking

MBUK TV


Last weekend, Louise Ferguson made history at Red Bull Hardline Wales – and we were there to watch her every step of the way, filming this exclusive documentary in the process.

Louise became the first woman to complete full top-to-bottom seeding and then timed race runs on the infamous Red Bull Hardline Wales course.

No other woman has ever achieved this.

With three-storey-high road gaps, 90-foot jumps and some of the most demanding terrain you’ll find anywhere, the Hardline Wales course deserves its reputation as the toughest mountain bike race track on the planet.

Join MBUK TV for this exclusive documentary as we follow Louise Ferguson's remarkable journey through her full weekend.

From track walk to practice, first hits to her iconic race run – we take you into the thick of the action with Louise.

We speak candidly to Louise about her experiences during the weekend, and talk to the team behind one of the stars of mountain biking – friends, mechanic and the Intense Factory Racing team management.

Buckle up, because this is a hell of a ride.
