Tailgatin' with Bernard Kerr!

Welcome to Tailgatin’ with Bernard Kerr, a special episode of The Ride Companion presented by Igloo!

We travelled to Pivot Factory Racing HQ in Wales to catch up with Bernard and do some talkgatin' across his incredible and very unique car collection. Bernard shares a brutally honest assessment of his 2026 downhill season, opens up about breaking his kneecap at Lenzerheide and reveals his plan to return for Whistler, Lake Placid and Red Bull Hardline in Vancouver.

We also discuss the sacrifices required to become an elite downhill racer, why Bernard moved his entire life to Wales, the increasing pressure of managing a World Cup team and how he identified riders including Roger Vieira, Jenna Hastings and Dylan Maples plus much more...

To enter our Igloo Playmate giveaway, comment on the YouTube video and tell us what you would keep inside yours. Bernard will choose five winners a week after the episode has been live!
