Injured mountainbiker ‘thinking outside square’ in new normal life
"I wasn't jumping that high or going that fast, it was one stupid, small mistake but I think that's always how it is."

Finn had picked up sponsorship from Hyperformance Hardware among others and was competing at a national level having raced at Crankworx. He was eyeing a place in the Enduro World Series.

As the weather warms up and COVID immunity ramps up, people are itching to get outdoors and gather socially.
