Swapping Lines is back with episode 4! This is a video series which will see the current South African champion, Stefan Garlicki travelling the world searching for the best tracks and the best riders on the planet!
After racing professionally for over a decade with many ups and downs including 3 elite national titles, a top 25 World Cup result and 2 broken hips, Stef is looking for a new challenge.
This episode is set in the iconic Dyfi Bike Park with one of the best riders on the planet. None other than Pivot Factory racing team owner, Bernard Kerr!
Stefan:" I was a bit bit nervous before hand because I had never been to Dyfi before and I had about 3 hours to ride the tracks before we started filming so the pressure was on! I did not know Bernard too well either so I was not sure how the dynamic would be when shooting. But honestly it could not have gone better, the weather was perfect, BK and I got along really well and it was so much fun following him down some of the best riding in the UK!"
Big thanks to Bernard and the whole crew for making this project happen, stay tuned for episode 5 coming early 2025 with current XC world champ, Alan Hatherly!
