Did Jackson Goldstone Unlock the Next Level in 2025?

Описание: Jackson Goldstone entered the elite ranks with massive expectations, but his first two seasons were anything but smooth. Injuries, pressure, and a rapidly improving field made progress hard to measure. In 2025, everything began to click.

In this episode, Jackson breaks down what really happened behind the scenes during his breakthrough season. He talks openly about coming back from injury, managing expectations, and finding more speed while the rest of the World Cup field was doing the same. We dive into mindset changes, race day decision making, and how learning to slow things down mentally helped him unlock consistency at the highest level.

Jackson also explains how mid season bike testing played a role in his progression, how he approached risk versus control, and why chasing flow state became a priority rather than chasing results. We discuss handling attention from media and fans after both wins and losses, and how focusing on one race at a time helped him deliver his most complete season yet.

This is an honest look at the process of levelling up in elite downhill racing, from one of the most exciting riders in the sport today.
