Fast Life Episode 4 is all about commitment.

Canadian downhill phenom Finn Iles learns from some of the fastest French riders, including teammate Loic Bruni. Their lessons are … a little less orthodox. This week it’s all about how making better riding noises will make you a faster rider. The lesson sees to work as Iles lands his first elite World Cup top-10 in Val di Sole, Italy. Braap braap!

While Iles learns the language of speed, the cross country side of Fast Life Episode 4 is all about science, suffering, finding commitment and some fun facts. Emily Batty and Maja Wloszczowska join Kate Courtney to talk about training. It’s not just what happens during practice, though. All three talk about committing to a lifestyle necessary to win. Showing that the wise would do well to heed their advice, Wloszczowska and Batty go 1-2 in Val Di Sole World Cup XCO.
