00:01Last year, I ended up winning the World Cup overall and the World Championships.
00:08It was so easy as a junior. Everything was always working out.
00:13It was pretty cool to accomplish that as a first-year junior,
00:15which it doesn't happen very often.
00:18I don't know, I feel like I don't belong here yet.
00:21I'm having the time of my life on the World Cup circuit.
00:24Man, LEGO Gang was the first time I cried because of a race result.
00:30Yeah, that's when you can aim.
00:32I'm like, no, I don't want everything to see.
00:35In the end, yeah, that's when you can aim.
00:51Should I sit like this?
00:53Like a villain.
01:04No, I want to be more formal than that.
01:10Am I being too tall?
01:12I'd say I'd describe myself as a bit of a bunny rabbit on the bike.
01:16I mean, that's what I guess other people say.
01:18I feel like I'm really good at picking lines and picking where I want to go
01:20and also just do some pretty cool gaps.
01:28Jackson is a very excitable kid, super talented, and he has a lot of fun.
01:39Oh, this weather is incredible.
01:40And how well he's doing and how well he's taking, like, all the pressure he has had put on him.
01:47That's something I did quite well when I was in junior, and I can definitely see a little bit of
01:51that in him.
01:56Valentina Hull from Austria.
01:58She's super talented, and she is very stylish on the bike.
02:10I think Vali is an insane amount of pressure on her shoulders.
02:13So much talk about her coming into Elite and just winning everything, and it didn't happen.
02:23I don't know her super well personally, because Vali is very reserved.
02:28Still, when I have to talk to the people, I'm, like, super shy.
02:31And for now, I still feel like they're all heroes and, like, way cooler than me.
02:38We run a hike in the mountains in Saalbach.
02:41It's famous for mountain biking and skiing.
02:44Hey, how are you doing?
02:45What a beautiful place, huh?
02:48Growing up up there,
02:51to always have, like, guests and strangers there, and you never had, like, that privacy, it was a bit hard.
03:00That's why she likes to be alone and then be in a quiet place,
03:07not being surrounded by thousands of people.
03:16Oh, when did I meet Jackson? I met him, I think I met him in Leger at Crankworx.
03:23I think we were trying to set something up for his tiny little bike.
03:26It was funny when he said he wanted to race World Cups. It's like, really? Doesn't make a whole lot
03:31of sense.
03:33Okay, Jack, I want you to go straight to kindergarten, okay?
03:42We were so lucky that we found a passion in Jackson so young, so then you can nurture that.
03:48And he took it where he wanted it to go, for sure.
03:50Pretty rare that somebody wants to transition from free ride to a strict downhill schedule.
03:59It's so much more focused.
04:04I don't know if, uh...
04:06His room's dirty, he stinks of sweat sometimes,
04:10and he's just a 17-year-old kid at the end of the day.
04:16I've definitely done childish things.
04:18I've sprayed the WD-40 on the brake pads thinking it's gonna make it work better.
04:23He forgets his kit all the time.
04:25Forgot my helmet, forgot my elbow pads.
04:27Shit, where's my World's kit?
04:30He's also got that ability to switch on and be mature and be ready for racing.
04:35Let's f***ing go. You've got this, mate.
04:39Be ready for whatever adult thing he has to do,
04:43and that's a good parallel life that he gets to explore.
04:47Yeah, Jackson, go on.
04:53Jackson Goldstone wins Lenzer Hyde.
04:56F*** it.
05:01Go!
05:02Go!
05:04That's the part where I'm always slow.
05:06That's not the best part of my headwind.
05:10The struggles for Vali were, it was looking like she could deal with that pressure.
05:13She could put in a hot run in qualities, but then something would happen in a race run.
05:19It's been hard for her to find that level and to just get the confidence to build off of, I
05:23think.
05:24Home races are really special and it adds a bit of pressure.
05:28There's more media attention, because I had some weird races in the past.
05:32Oh, she goes down!
05:34Crashing on the last turn.
05:43She's set herself up in a position where she's got a lot of big contracts and sponsors.
05:47And I think it's definitely a hard position to be in knowing you can win.
05:51And you should win, almost.
05:53It's probably what gets to her the most.
05:56Fastest qualifier here the last two years on this new track.
06:00This might be Valentina Hall's moment.
06:03I think my mum is like the most nervous when she's like watching me at races.
06:08Even like when she's standing in a finish, she's never looking to the screen.
06:19The win is gone for her again.
06:22What a shame for the Austrian.
06:28How is this going to happen?
06:29To the extent or even that is it.
06:33We don't go on that thing.
06:35We don't go on that way.
06:36All the time or even that is it.
06:36Now, because everything comes, this is probably the only chains we want.
06:41We have a team that is full behind you.
06:45Everyone is behind you.
06:47It's full behind you and everyone gets full and everyone gets full.
06:51You can't rush the process that you have to experience when you move up to the elite category.
06:56You can get a podium in your first year at your first race, but then two races later
07:00you're going to crash.
07:01And then you're going to crash again, you're going to crash again.
07:03Oh, he goes down!
07:05Finn, mate, I'll just stop you there a minute.
07:07Perfect quote for a commercial break.
07:09Is that chill with you?
07:11Whoa, chill.
07:12Super chill.
07:14And...
07:16Do you know the words to every national anthem?
07:19You constantly hear the fat lady singing, fist pumping in your sleep, disturbing your spouse.
07:27You may be living with EFLS.
07:30Oh, crashing on the last turn in the shape!
07:33Sufferers of EFLS, or early finish line syndrome, have been found throughout the racing world.
07:39What the f*** is lost right now?
07:42Now they're so close to sailing, bring it home.
07:46Side effects include lingering champagne taste in mouth, podium vertigo, and bank account
07:50swelling.
07:52God, this is so bad!
07:55Everybody's telling you, oh, you're riding so well in practice, but what's wrong with
07:58you?
07:58Like, why can't you do race runs?
08:00I'm like, oh, if I were Noah, I wouldn't do it!
08:04Jackson has a really good team around him, and he has the gold in the team, so I guess
08:09he's soaking up every single information and then just, like, smokes them.
08:14I mean, it's pretty accurate.
08:19Drive for show, putt for dough.
08:21We got a bit of a term like that in mountain biking.
08:23Jump for show, corner for dough.
08:29Drive for show, but if you can't putt, then what's the point?
08:43It's insane to see that tiny little man doing so well and riding so fast.
08:49We're like, I like Bruni, Amory Piron, you know, they go to the gym, they lift massive
08:53weights, and Jackson is just eating chocolate and having fun, you know?
08:58I get comments every now and again for people maybe not understanding kind of how I got to
09:03where I am today.
09:04Like, there's been tons of people saying that maybe it didn't work for all the success I've
09:08had when really I've been working hard.
09:10We are presenting Jackson Goldstone with his brand new Red Bull helmet.
09:14He's the newest member of the team.
09:15It's a cool moment.
09:19No!
09:20No!
09:21No!
09:23No!
09:23Yes!
09:28My expectations were very high coming into Elite.
09:31I expected myself to be a podium contender at every single race right from the get-go.
09:37Exactly like Junior, and it was not like that, but a lot of learning.
09:46and now it's finn isle's turn can he take that first elite world cup win today here in canada
09:56green are the first two splits we haven't seen that all after now he's pushing hard
10:02this is awesome from finn isle
10:06comes down the line and he's rolling to the line
10:24the most important thing is trying to figure out who you are as a racer and a rider so that
10:31you can
10:32find your own way it's definitely something that takes time and it's a it's a process to understand
10:37how things work
10:41Valentina Hall finds herself the last woman to leave the top I feel like I put myself way too much
10:48under
10:48pressure just with my expectations never from my parents and never from my team I expect myself to
10:57do so well every time
11:00oh looking good here
11:061.6 up then for Valentina Hall
11:12so Hall does lead here in Montenegro
11:16over the 55 km mark
11:22you wanna beat me I'm so bright that you can't see me no denying
11:25that I'm
11:25the big crashes along the way from Valentina Hall
11:28look at the time
11:303 seconds up in the air
11:39hi
11:43not crashing finals is actually feels really good
11:46slowly we figure it out
11:51mountain biking kind of teaches you a life lesson of just kind of learning practicing and getting ready for the
11:59elites
12:03you start work off at 16 and now I'm 20
12:07and in those four years you change so much
12:11mountain biking is definitely kind of the environment I grew up in
12:14it helps a lot having that those two years of juniors
12:18when I won juniors I was like never crying because of joy and I was like something is wrong with
12:23me
12:23but like now it's the first time I cried of being sad but also because of joy
12:31it's a really good feeling
12:41okay
