KADE EDWARDS

The 2018 Junior DH world champ’s impossible cornering, full-to-the-brim trick bag and happy-golucky demeanour have gained him superhero status, especially among younger riders. Riding buddy Kaos Seagrave says: “At the skate park Kade’s better than the BMXers, at the jumps he’s as good as the dirt jumpers, then he’ll finish in the top 10 at a World Cup!” Kade’s Insta antics and steeze on a slopestyle bike hinted at a discipline swap, but he hit the DH circuit with momentum this year, finishing ninth in Les Gets and third at Red Bull Hardline.
