They will be joined by Australia’s Sam Hill, who is one of the greatest downhill riders of all time. Hill won the Junior Men’s Downhill World Championships for 2002 and 2003 before taking the Elite Men’s Downhill World Championships in the years 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2010. After his amazing downhill career, Hill transitioned to enduro racing, where he won the Enduro World Series title in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The other inductees are three pioneers who were the key figures behind the rise of enduro racing in the mountain bike world. They were the men who helped turn enduro racing into one of the most exciting and most popular forms of mountain bike competition today. Those three men are Fred Glo, Enrico Guala, and Chris Ball.
