JARED GRAVES

Owner of the biggest calf muscles in mountain biking, the raw power this Aussie can put down, combined with a hefty dose of talent and dedication, has seen him top the podium in a range of disciplines from 4X to DH, enduro to BMX, in which he represented his country at the 2008 Olympics Games. The biggest challenge Graves has ever faced, though, has been his battle with cancer – a brain tumour, which put him out of action for a number of years. Thankfully, he’s come out on top of that fight and is back charging harder than ever.
