Isla Short:
Hunt for Racing

Isla Short first became part of the Hunt family at the start of 2020. Since that time, the young Scot has picked off 5th place at World Champs in Leogang, 2x 11th place finishes at World Cups, and 2 National Titles. Proud doesn't come close to describing how we feel about Isla's achievements, so understandably, we jumped at the chance of becoming the main sponsor of her new self-run program for 2022.

 

Isla's race schedule already has us more excited than ever with plans to race at World Cup rounds, the Commonwealth Games, and even return to the EWS when it arrives at her home of the Tweed Valley in June. She's kicked off the season with a strong 4th placed finish at the Chelva C1 XCO in Spain and is ready to go full gas over the next few months.

Keep an eye out on Hunt Mountain and Isla's instagram to see how ranks over the year.

"I've always thrived on doing things a little differently in order to develop my perfect setup. Stepping away froma factory teams was a choice I made in 2019 and I hugely undersestiated the graft and commitment it would take to continue saying no in the search for my dream scenario. This jersey represents the sweat and tears that have gone into believing this is right for me and Hunt Mountain have made this a reality in 2022, insanely proud to work with a brand who represent everything a company, work place and quality of product should strive for."
