Racing bikes around the world and getting paid for it sounds wonderful, doesn't it? For those who make it to the pro ranks and do exactly that they'll tell you it's no easy walk in the park. There's been a lot of hard work to make it there and, once you've made it, there are limited opportunities to show just how good you are from one racing weekend to the next.
Trek Bikes' new feature length film, Going In, is a unique insight into the world of pro mountain bike racing. It follows Trek Factory Racing and the mountain bike athletes on its downhill, cross-country and enduro rosters throughout the 2019 season. Watch it now in the player at the top of the page.
