Video: Beyond What Happens Between the Race Tapes with Tahnee Seagrave

Dec 26, 2021
by Sarah Moore  


After a whirlwind rise from a 12-year old Morzine-based phenom, to a world championship and multiple world cup-winning global superstar, Tahneé Seagrave is one of the most modest gifted riders to have ever graced the mountain bike race tracks of the world. This will not be news to many.

The story of a great racer goes beyond what happens between the tapes though; from ascendancy to the pinnacle of the world cup downhill to successive injuries in a short span of time left Tahneé in need of release from a world that can become all-consuming.

Finding happiness in simplicity and power in her own voice has been key to navigating the journey back towards contentment. Now, in the depth of the off-season, Tahneé looks forward to discovering her future frontiers with a newfound perspective that makes her more motivated, faster, and an overall healthier well-rounded athlete and human.

 Wow just impressive that extend of honesty - don’t know about others, but it has a kind of thinking we’re I see winners like bullet proof macines at those dh wc events. This is certainly adding a big portion of depth - all the best!

 No matter how talented these athletes are, they are human - and suffer the same insecurities that we all do. They just fall from a greater height. Wish her all the best for the next season.

 Honesty, integrity and inspiration!
Be well and crush it in 2022 and thank you for sharing this as I think most people, while understanding that top level athletes are "human like us", don't get to actually see this. The athletes and their handlers and sponsors typically "hide" the "mere mortal" component from the public. This vid shows that besides being naturally gifted, an athlete must still clear the hurdles we all deal with. That mental and emotional battle is real!!!

 Love the transparency. I think it's great to see the life of an athlete with a greater focus on the mental health side vs. just the flash of race day.

 Good to see this and Revs looking prime as well - often see Tahnee and Kade there. Booked in on the 8th and desperately hoping that we’re still allowed to go.
