The young Preston, winner of the dh 2021 English championship, shows us how it is possible to have fun even without the top of the range. Fanunabulous lines, aggressive curves and whipped with impeccable style, this is how the Englishman Preston Williams responds to the attentive gaze of the Vital MTB video cameras.
