Volatile Visions: SIDETRACKED — Dave West (Unseen for Decades).

Описание: This clip comes from Volatile Visions – Sidetracked, a Foxtel-aired series released in 2007, part of an 8-episode journey documenting MTB and BMX events across Australia, blended with archive footage from the Volatile vault dating back to the mid-1990s.
Sidetracked was about more than results — it was about the riders, the places, and the moments in between. This particular clip features Dave “Westy” West, a rider who quietly stacked credentials at the highest level. At the time, Westy was the South Australian State Downhill Champion and went on to finish 2nd overall in the Australian National Downhill Championship Series — proof that this wasn’t just style, but serious speed and commitment.
Soundtracking the clip is music from Adelaide DJ and MC Delta, alongside Circus Arcade and Simplex, bringing a local sonic identity to the vision and grounding it firmly in its era.
Fast-forward almost two decades and Westy has transitioned from elite racer to a highly respected physiotherapist, still deeply connected to movement, performance, and recovery — a full-circle story that mirrors the evolution of the sport itself.
The full 7 minute 50 second clip is now available exclusively on YouTube, unseen for nearly 20 years, freshly pulled from the Volatile archives and shared again for those who lived it — and those discovering it for the first time.
