A 10-time Elite world champion with a full set of Olympic medals and an incredible 35 World Cup wins under his belt, Nino Schurter is undeniably the greatest cross-country (XC) racer of all time. But who is he, beyond the races, victories and records? Find out in 'N1NO Beyond', a new docu-series from Cut Media, the studio behind many of Danny MacAskill's biggest viral hits, and more.
N1NO BEYOND | Episode 1 - Never Quit
Episode 1, released today, follows Nino at this year's opening World Cup round in Mairiporã, Brazil. Heading into the 2024 season aged 38, as reigning champion and having last year broken the record for World Cup wins, the film dares to ask what's next for the greatest racer of all time, and what will it take to stop him?
Further episodes will be released on YouTube throughout the summer. We're promised the filmmakers will get up close and personal, asking questions and capturing Nino in a way never seen before.
"The 2023 season was, for sure, something I'll always remember," says Nino. "Taking my 34th World Cup win in Lenzerheide, on my home mountain, was like a dream, and then finishing the season as overall champion... it doesn't get much better than that! But now, my focus is on looking forwards, and what the 2024 season can bring.
"I've been racing all my life, and this sport has given me more than I could have imagined. But the competition, the energy – I'm not done with racing yet. I still have so much to give. Now, I’m ready to show the world what mountain biking really means to me.”
