<p class="">Thanks to Tourism Tasmania, I’ve been on the ground in Maydena for Hardline Tasmania week and got to have a catch up with Neko Mulally, as well as a ride on their brand new Frameworks enduro bike.</p> <p class="">Frameworks Racing is a team that’s making some serious waves in the world of downhill. From building his own bike 4 years ago, to having a race team made up of some of America’s most talented riders. They’ve got new bikes, new ideas, and a new superstar signing in Aaron Gwin.</p> <p class="">To give us the inside story, we’re talking to Neko Mullaly, the man behind the team. He’ll take us through the strategy behind the bikes, the thinking behind signing one of the biggest names in the sport, and what it’s like managing a team at the cutting edge of downhill racing. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Neko Mulally.</p> <p class="">You can also watch this episode on YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@downtimepodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> <p class="">Thanks to Tourism Tasmania for making this episode possible.
