Career

[edit]

Hart was educated at Rye Hills School in Redcar.[3] He had received financial support from Redcar and Cleveland Young People's Trust as a junior rider.[4] In October 2011, after winning the World Championships, Hart and former Olympic triple-jumper Jonathan Edwards and world paratriathlete Charlotte Ellis helped launch a £31m project to build a leisure centre in Redcar.[5]

Hart won the 2007 youth national championship at Rheola, Wales in conditions he described as 'really terrible'.[6] In 2008, when 16, he began competing the elite class internationally, with a best DH World Cup result of 22nd at Vallnord, Andorra in June.[7] In 2009 he won the Maxxis Cup in Vigo, Spain,[8] and came second in the junior national championship at Innerleithen, Scotland,[9] third at the junior world championship in Canberra, Australia[10] and 20th in the Elite class at the Fort William, Scotland[11] round of the World Cup in June of that year.
