WHAT IS DOWNHILL

The first downhill enthusiasts started appearing in the early 90ies when bicycle industry started to introduce new technologies in bicycle manufacturing which led to a new kind of sport. This sport now gathers hundreds of athletes in the entire World. People who wanted to enjoy greater speeds and feel the adrenalin rushing through their veins developed a new bicycle sports discipline - downhill. In last few years peoples interest about downhill is still growing and there are more and more high level competitions all around the World. Competitions require great physical shape and high financial resources. Average track length is about 2-5kilometers and the time spent riding is about 3-5 minutes. Of course it depends on the riders skills and difficulty of the track. Adrenaline during the race is very high - so riders need to be focused all the time and fight against the time table for the best result.

About

EDIJS PAULS

Im 23 years old. I started riding downhill in 2004. I started my career accidentally - I heard about some downhill race, I attended it and won. That was a great surprise for me and all the other riders who had much more experience. After my first victory I started to train for downhill but in 2005 I got my first major accident and I missed out on almost all the next season. I spent season 2006 without technical difficulties and six times I was on the pedestal. Three of them were clean first places and at the end of the year I was first in my group. After training all winter I prepared for World Cup races in Europe but after just the second stage I experienced a heavy fall and I traumatized my knee. After very difficult surgery and almost a year of recovery I decided to continue my career as a downhill rider. I returned to downhill scene in middle of season 2008. In France during Saab Salamon Megavalanche Alpe d`Huez race which is 35km long I managed to get 67th place out of 1750 riders. During this season I got to feel the winners pride on pedestal for eight times. Thanks to my results I was spotted in Latvia and Switzerland. After people had noticed me I got sponsorship from LDZ Cargo and Switzerland sportswear company Dandee Streetwear which gave me a huge stimulus to prepare for races in Europe so I moved to live in Germany near the border of France. I wanted to prove to myself and others that we - Latvians are capable to show ourselves in international level. During this season I participated in eleven races. In some of them I was in the Top 10. When I returned to Latvia in 2009 I started to look for sponsors for season 2010 but because of the economical situation in my country I didnt manage to find any supporters who could really help me during next years season. So I spent season of 2010 training and thinking about year 2011 downhill races with full power. Then I with my friend Janis Ozolins decided to fulfill our dream about life full of adrenalin and riding in Europe so we created JED Racing Team project because we know that we have the potential and if someone could manage to help us we could be back on the pedestal of Europe. Than we went to Canarian Islands/Tenerife and started our trainings form 1st of January 2011 for 4 months and we were hopefuly waiting for upcoming races in spring but again we have problems to get any financial support for racing - we get one of the best bikes in downhill scene for 2011 (Trek Session 88 2011) with support of Martin Whiteley who is well know as 23 Degrees-Sports Founder and Founding Partner of Global Racing Imports S.L. with one of the best World Cup rider Greg Minnaar who were very interested to help us out. But as we all know nothing is easy in this life so I am still fighting for the aim and my aim is to ride with best of the best riders on Earh in European and World Cup races. Now I am in Norway and still preparing for next 2012 season. If you have any chance to help out with some kind of solution I will always be welcome to hear from you offers what can help me to ride.With all the best.Edijs Pauls

Here you can get acquainted with approximated prices for participation in races in season 2012. Estimate was made basing on the experience from past years. Price for each race includes: participation fee, hotel rent, fuel for car or flight tickets, food, chair lift rent in tracks etc.
I cannot guarantee that I will attend all these races because for some of them the date has not been set yet and it may occur that there are two races in one day. Mostly this calendar is depending on the size of my budget.

Plans & Equipment

PLANS AND EQUIPMENT

I already begun an intensive training season in Norway to get in good physical shape for next downhill season where I am planning to participate in some of the World Cup stages which are going to take place in Europe. Of course parallel to World Cup stages I am planning to participate in prestige European, German and Switzerland iXS Downhill races and I must not forget to mention most popular Diverse downhill stages in Poland and Mega Avalanche Trophy in France Alps. If there will be an opportunity I will start season with training camp in France and in other European mountain resorts to get in shape before major downhill events.As this is a technical sport major attention is paid to technique and equipment. I need downhill bicycles, helmets, race goggles, protective gear, sport forms and other accessories. Of course during the season lots of things need to be changed on the bicycle, for example tires, chains and other parts which get broken or run down. Rider tent, technical instruments and other things play a great role in riders living and riding conditions and therefore affect the results of races.
