Preston Williams: From factory motocross champion to elite downhill privateer
Preston Williams is a former British motocross champion turned downhill racer. On this episode Preston talks about his illustrious but strict motocross career and why he made the switch to racing downhill. Preston talks about winning his first ever National race, almost beating Jackson Goldstone and breaks down his first couple of years in the elite category. Preston is currently living the full privateer life and we hope the companionship will be rooting for him in 2024!
