To me personally,,, he looks like a regular North Indian,, a typical bhayya.

That is getting popular in northeast now. I have seen many videos of kids from Mizoram, Nagaland and manipur digging up their own dirt track and hosting events. They are good but sadly no sponsor or any financial backing

Tbh I will cry bias here, but northeast doesnot get much attention to match the sport potential that we have. Even an event half decent compared to what we do here get more brodcast and multiple time corporate sponsorship anywhere else in India.

Kohima Downhill - Steep But Surmountable

Native Station, Nagaland's premiere adventure sports organisation discusses MTB in the North-East.

Kohima Downhill - Steep But Surmountable

amp.redbull.com

Traffic, noise, congested streets and IT guys. These words do a pretty good job at summarising India and its cityscape. Far too reminiscent of every megacity you have seen, isn’t it? But we’re not talking about a Mumbai or a Delhi. We’re talking about a small town in the far east, in the state of Nagaland! Kohima is the capital of Nagaland and home to a newly formed adventure sports collective. In our quest to scour the country and find breeding grounds for adventure sports, we got in touch with Native Station, a Nagaland-based foursome with a vision. Turns out, problems like traffic, congested streets and pollution have become very real issues out here as well; something we learned from one of the founders of Native Station: Yan Kikon, an IT guy by profession. Their next event, the Kohima Downhill, is a mountain biking race which is just around the bend as we speak. Yan talks about the event (and mountain biking in general) gaining traction in a land that is otherwise uninitiated to adventure sports. He makes a peculiar remark about the traffic situation saying, “On a good day, I whiz pass the traffic jam and reach office in 30 mins max, which would take me almost one and half hours to reach by car . . . a lot of interest is generated now especially among young professionals and school/college kids buying new bikes and riding with us. . . It is picking up really fast now.” He sounds optimistic today, but we gather things haven’t always come easy as far as hosting the race is concerned. “If you guys can ride cycles in Kohima, you are superman.”

MTB in Nagaland wasn’t well received at the onset and NS had a hard time dodging the cynics and their dry retorts. The sport was new to Nagaland and novelty was clearly their kryptonite. Despite initial resistance, two years on, there are 20 ‘supermen’ riding around within Kohima itself. Native Station is fairly new and very much in its infancy, having been funded privately by the founders themselves. As the story goes, after 5 long months of mapping things out, they got their paperwork in place, built a website and approached the Government; fully convinced that adventure sports can boost tourism in the state.

“Who races downhill? It’s too easy. . . You should organize an uphill race”

(un)Surprisingly, the Government babus weren’t too keen and had their own requests. That’s when NS decided to look at sponsorships. Funding: check.

Local businesses and schools also took to the idea favourably, seeing the impact it would make on the social-economic state and fitness levels of the community. Participants: check.

Green flags from the village authorities.

With all formalities taken care of, things started looking good for Kohima Downhill as local village authorities granted permissions and more than 40 enthusiastic bikers emerged! Not bad for a new venture even before they could begin with official advertisements and publicity!

Not too steep. Not yet.

The sport still rests on a brand new chassis and the path is untested. While NS plans on taking things easy for this year’s edition, there will still be plenty of pedals down the trail. This December 6th, watch as 60 MTB riders grapple with the terrain scurrying down the hill! NS will limit things to 30 riders from Nagaland (from over 100 enthusiasts) and 30 from the rest of India.

Looking for a getaway this winter? This could be it!

December 6th. 60 riders, aged 15 years and older, taking on 1.5 kilometres of a scenic, serpentine path.

Big ups to Native Station for throwing some serious torque into the adventure sports scene in the North East! Hukupa Thulu-o, Tenyebinlo Himb, Mhonjan Lotha and Yanpvuo Kikon, you guys are doing some great things and the world of Red Bull looks forward to future events.

Yup,,,he is a bhayya.
Indos, you seem to know something about ethnicities in India. ,,, who do you think he resembles most. (I mean,, people from which country)
I can tell you as a northeasterner that ,he is different in looks thn us, I think it is same for South indians.(meaning,, he doesn't look South India.)
To me personally,,, he looks like a regular North Indian,, a typical bhayya.

Indian is not something rare to be seen in Jakarta, some of Indonesian has Indian roots and they are both North Indian and South Indian. Some expat can be seen as well some time.

North Sumatra has the most Indian ethnic, here Indian ethnic become a representative of North Sumatra province in Indonesia national beauty pageant competition.

He is not bhayaa. That term is reserved for Biharis and Eastern UP people.

He is a Ror by ethnicity. Rors have slightly more Indo-Aryan ancestry than Jatts.

It doesn't matter what you think.. Try googling it.. Its not hard..

It's funny people on this forum fakes to be from China and Indonesia when it's very easy to figure out where they are from.

These Haryana people are literally the factory for India's medals at the Olympics in the most physically demanding sports such as wrestling and javelin throw

You can't rely on jats for a country as large as India

It's because Haryana have a good sports culture along with the necessary infrastructure. Looking at it from a genetic angle is incorrect.

You are talking about Rors? They are not Marathas.

Came across this video on Youtube. It could be that some Rors are descendants of inter-marriage between Marathas and the local Haryanvi people or outright descendants of Marathas.
Coming to Neeraj Chopra, it doesn't matter whether he is Jat or Maratha or Rajput or anyone as long as he got us the medal. That's the only thing that matters to us.
