#16. Jurgen Beneke: The luckiest man in MTB

MOVING THE NEEDLE : The Andrew Neethling Podcast - A podcast by movingtheneedle - Tuesdays

Categories:

Jurgen Beneke is a legend in the Sport of Downhill and MTB. He was a pioneer of the sport and won the first official Downhill World Cup Series in Dh in 1993.  We talk about origins of the sport, sneaking alcohol into Norway to pay for racing and just so much more.  He feels he is also one of the luckiest riders alive escaping many crashes along the way. He has launched a fundraiser and campaign to give back to those riders that weren't so lucky.  He urges everyone that has had a lucky escape and we all know we have to donate $10 for every crash to a GOFUNDME page.  He is also auctioning off his Manitou Frame and 1993 World Cup leaders jersey , so click the link to own a piece of MTB history.  FUNDRAISER LINK . All funds will go to Wings for Life. Watch the full Video for the fundraiser story HERE.
