Kilian Bron, a 27-year-old French enduro / mountain bike rider, often shares his adrenaline-fueled exploits via social media. In one particular instance, Bron is traversing a narrow path on the edge of a cliff located in Congost de Mont-rebei — a single false move being his last.
Since just watching the video induces a heart-pounding effect, one can only imagine how intense it must have been living that situation. All of this begs the question, how does someone like Kilian Bron get into enduro / mountain biking? In a blog post for Selle San Marco, an Italian bike saddle manufacturer, he says of his biking origins:
“I started riding on the lovely MTB trails near my house when I was 15 years old, thanks to a group of friends who had already started practicing Enduro. After my first downhill I realized that this would become my sport. Every day I wanted to hop on the saddle of my bike, and this passion has lasted until today. However, it’s not only Enduro, but also road riding, BMX and MTB… I don’t concentrate on just one specialty, I simply love riding bikes. Thanks to My Bike I feel free; I am surrounded by nature and it’s a great way to help me forget any problems. When I’m not on my bike I really love skiing; it was the first sport I learned as a kid. I am always looking for new inspiration and I’m constantly developing new ideas for my next adventures. As I mentioned before, I’m a pretty laid-back guy, but maybe that’s not all together true. There is a hyperactive kid hidden inside me.”
Besides racing, Bron is also media manager and handles communications for some of his sponsors. He likes spending time at home with his friends and girlfriend, enjoying the beautiful place where he lives, Annecy, in the French Alps.
