In this episode, we sit down with Alex Cairns, a former Paralympian sit-skier whoโ€™s now carving his own path in adaptive mountain biking. From technical climbs to Squamishโ€™s iconic slabs, Alex shares how his approach to sport is rooted in calculation and control rather than reckless abandon. We explore his journey from ski racing to MTB, the nuances of adaptive trail design, and how mindset plays a critical role in both performance and progression. This oneโ€™s packed with insight, grit, and a good dose of trail talk.
