Interview with Big Mountain Enduro Overall Champ Nate Hills

Nate Hill is entering the 2014 season as the reigning Big Mountain Enduro series champ. With $50,000 of overall prize money up for grabs in 2014, the BME series is the biggest in America, attracting the fastest US based riders. Racing on what many considered the bike of the year, a Yeti SB-66 carbon, he will again be a very strong contender at every race he enters, with appearances at several EWS races planned.
