A Monumental Rise to an Unexpected Fall

Pro mountain biker Emil Johansson takes the mountain bike world by storm at a young age until an unexpected auto-immune disease takes hold of his life. Emil battles the illness while battling his way back to the top of the mountain bike world.

From Red Bull You Tube:

At the end of 2017, rookie Slopestyle MTB rider Emil Johansson was on top of the world. In his first full season, he was crowned FMB World Tour champion as a teenager only for his world to crumble around him with a mystery illness.

Having eventually been diagnosed with Epstein Barr virus and Hashimoto’s disease, he has battled his way back to the top of the sport and lines up for Crankworx Rotorua this week!
