Should downhill be an Olympic sport, in the X-Games or neither?
Olly and Davi sit down for a good ol’ catch up. During the episode the lads talk about attending Formula E in London, Davi’s new coach, Olly riding a modern downhill bike for the very first time ever, stag doo’s, Champéry downhill track and look at strange Olympic sports.
The lads invent a new downhill event to potentially level the field and discuss wether downhill should really be in the Olympics or the X-Games.

I really think they should include dh in the Olympics especially as they have downhill skiing, bmx, skateboarding so it's definitely overdue that dh should be introduced
Would love to see a bit of DH in the olympic coverage , the addition of some new sports that are maybe not quite so well known gives them a huge boost and can introduce them to a whole new audience.
DH racing should refuse to ever be part of the woke olympics.
One of the problems with downhill being in the olympics is that not all the country’s that could host them had a downhill track suitable to hold the event. They would know enough in advance to build one but if the mountains aren’t there then what you Gona do
