You stand on the summit, ready to plunge down. Into the unknown. No-comfort zone.

Head cinema, labyrinth of thoughts, racing heart.

Every biker knows this. Even proven World Cup riders have to face this inner battle, overcome fears and self-doubt.

Add to that the pressure to perform, injuries and private commitments. You train for months for this one run, this one moment. Now it's up to you - are you ready?

In addition to the hard training on the bike, you need at least as much a strengthened and positive mindset.

The belief in yourself - a strength that can move mountains and make the difference in the tight fight for the podium.

In the film "FEAR is just a SHADOW" downhill pro Nico Lamm takes us on a fast-paced trip through his world of thoughts and one of the fastest tracks in Europe.

For the recordings Nico teamed up with Jan-Oliver Haas from MILANOFILM. In the end there were over 16 hours of tireless ups and downs in the Trail Park Klínovec (CZ). And that over two extremely hot days in August. Plus a night shift on the pitch-black, windy summit of the Keilberg. And still there was always a good mood, just Growth Mindset.

Are you ready too?
