Watch Rob Welch go “All In” in the U.K.

Threatened by injury, one rider takes a creative approach to staying on the bike

Rob Welch

From the opening shots, Rob Welch wastes no time bringing his dirt jump experience to big bike riding. Rob Welch has a backstory that backs up the moves, too.

A long term knee injury looked like it would be the end of a life on bikes for Welch. Hoping home suspension would take the pressure off his injury, Welch quickly started pushing the limits of what he could do on the big bike. This meant building his own DH trails lines to make what he wanted to ride possible.

The result is a uniquely dirt jump influenced approach to riding a downhill bike. And it’s unreal.

Welch is joined by Tom Justice and Jamie Brown in this cool story about dealing with, and overcoming injury.
