Rich Payne | Meet The GMBN Presenters

Спорт

Born in Wells Somerset, Rich Payne developed his love & passion for mountain biking as a youngster in the local Mendip hills with the likes of Rachel, Gee and Dan Atherton! He began his career in the MTB industry with his dad, attending local races & events together where Rich would develop his talents, moving up the ranks and competing in DH and Four-Cross races, eventually racing around the globe in the EWS! Rich's passion for vlogging and videography led him to create the 'EWS or Bust' video series and the rest was history.
From humble beginnings digging jumps in the woods with the Atherton's to XC racing, Four-cross competitions, DH championships and EWS series, Rich truly is a man of two-wheel steeze, and what talent he has with that eh!

    Moght be the best “meet the presenter” video yet to be honest. Really enjoyed that. You guys did make a very good choice employing rich. I couldn’t imagine gmbn without him but it does feel crazy that it was end of 2019 when he started. It feels a lot more recent than that for some reason. If id have been told to guess before the video id have said it was a year ago he started but that obviously just shows the past few years have gone by fast i suppose.
