Zooming past trees, gnarled roots and metal poles on a mountain bike, the wind blowing in your face as you race down the dirt course -- this is just a snapshot of the UCI Mercedes-Benz Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup.
And downhill world champion Reece Wilson is readily aware of how demanding his sport can be. "I like to compare it to rugby," Wilson tells CNN Sport.
