We sat down with Jo Dovat to talk about all things BMX, bringing more kids into the sport and, all things going well, all the way to the Olympics. Jo is the current Swiss national BMX coach looking after the youth categories, managing around 40 riders between the age of 10 all the way up to the junior ranks. Naturally, he has a great perspective on talent development, progression and how to keep BMX racing fun, despite all the hard training. Of course, since the inclusion of BMX in the Olympics, the sport as well as the athletes have found themselves on the “big stage” a lot more and it was interesting to hear Jo’s take on the opportunities, challenges and the road ahead for the different disciplines. We wrap up the episode with Jo’s own long history with bikes, his view on pump tracks and our infamous close-out questions.
