Ellie Hulsebosch (@elliehulsebosch) is one of the most exciting young athletes on the international downhill mountain biking circuit riding for the legendary Santa Cruz Syndicate. But behind the results sheet is a story of rapid growth, powerful self-discovery, and an unwavering commitment to both performance and personal wellbeing.
In this conversation, Ellie opens up about her journey — from walking her very first DH race track in 2020 to standing on World Cup podiums in Europe just a few years later. She shares openly about a tough start to the circuit this year, and a cultural reset that is helping her bounce back to better performances. We also dive into some of Ellie’s mental game, including race-week routines, music playlists, journaling, and how she manages fear.
There’s so much to take from Ellie’s thoughtful reflections, and I am so stoked I got the chance to chat with her.
Enjoy!
