On the way, he enlists the support of Gee Atherton and Kriss Kyle to help him prepare, while Jones also gets expert help on preparing a course from which the tricks will be attempted.
Jones's amazing video Frames of Mind is another absolutely mind-bending video that gives us an insight into the thought processes that go on in his mind when he's working out tricks.

The Road Back: Brook Macdonald

The Road Back: Brook Macdonald
How mountain bike racer Brook Macdonald makes a miraculous recovery from a crash that almost left him paralysed.
Downhill racer Brook Macdonald has been competing on the Mercedes-Benz Mountain Bike World Cup for well over 10 years. Well-liked by his team-mates and competitors, there's little that wipes the smile off the New Zealander's face. However, in 2019, he suffered what could have been a career-ending crash at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada.
Macdonald sustained serious fractures to his T12 and L1 vertebrae in his back. Coming back from such an injury to even walk again, never mind ride at the top level, would be a major challenge. The documentary, The Road Back: Brook Macdonald, charts the recovery from that accident to riding his bike again in an elite race at Crankworx Innsbruck in late 2020.

Brook Macdonald's Dream Track
Brook Macdonald continued his journey back from that serious spinal injury with his 2022 project Dream Track. Macdonald imagined designing a dream track that would test his limits and remove any doubts he had about whether he could really ride big downhill features and go fast. Working alongside fellow mountain bike pro and track designer Remy Morton, this dream track became a reality in his native New Zealand. At 1.8km in length, with 440m of descending, Macdonald's Dream Track is one thrilling ride – a hardcore combination of high-speed, big jumps and technical sections that Macdonald ripped to pieces.
