Fionn Griffiths Interview
Now here's something you don't see every day - video footage of one rider interviewing another rider. Check out the video and blog Ryan wrote about Fionn:
While down at the Sea Otter Classic, I had a few moments to catch up with my team mate Fionn Griffiths.
She is a 25 year old pro DH and 4X racer, and after 7 years on the pro circuit, she’s at the top of her game. The 2nd place DH finish and 3rd place dual finish at the Sea Otter is a testimate to that.
If you’d like to hear more, have a look at the 10 minute interview below - though I appologize for the poor audio - it was hard to find a quiet spot, the helicopter half way through didn’t help either.
Ride On!

Heard Saying:
"When I look down, I miss all the good stuff. When I look up, I just trip over things"
What Pumps you up?
A good night of partying with great tunes, mainly house and trance.
What makes you mad?
Injuries, or anything else that stops me from riding my bike. I also hate it when people lie! If people respect you, then there should be no problem with telling the truth!
What do you do to relax?
I take off somewhere quiet, normally at the top of a mountain or by a waterfall somewhere, and just enjoy the natural beauty of the world.
What makes you smile?
Sunrise, sunset and the people who are close to me.
What do you enjoy most about riding for Norco?
I enjoy the amount of involvement everyone in the company has in the sport. Even the top guys in the company enjoying taking the weekends off and rippin' it up.
Anything Else?
I really just want to thank everyone for supporting me. My parents have been there through everything. Jill, I wouldn't be where I am this season without you. Also a big thanks to my main sponsors; Norco, Azonic and Zeal Optics.
