Episode 39: Chatting about freeride, transitioning to MTB and everything in between with Mike Ross Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we are joined by Mike Ross, the guy who is singlehandedly progressing freeride and speed and style in Australia. Starting in BMX he built a super successful career and as he fell out of love with it he discovered MTB. After falling in love really quick, his progression has gone through the roof. We chat about heading to Crankworx, the transition to MTB, and his feelings about the two scenes.

Huck 2020 Competition Nov 08, 2020

Show notes

2020 has been a terrible year throwing uncertainty into all of our lives; this is why we are saying HUCK2020!!!

We would like you to join us in saying Huck 2020 with us by Hucking your bike as hard as you can.

To celebrate the end of the year and for everybody to send it off with their greatest Huck, Beyond The Tape has gathered some sweet sponsors and holding an epic competition.

When is it?

All Entries must be posted between the 1st and 25th of November 2020.

How do you enter?

First, you upload a 10-30 second video of your Huck to Instagram (no stories)

Next, you follow @beyondthetape.podcast, @nsdynamics, @hucktheworldco, @krushoz, and @revolutionmtbmag.

When you upload, you must also tag the above in your post along with using the hashtag #huck2020

How is it judged?

Technicality: This criterion will judge the takeoff, terrain, landing, and overall skill needed for the Huck.

Huckwittery: The size of the Huck, the sound you make when you land, the sketchiness, and overall spirit of the Huck.

Scenery: This will judge where the Huck is located and the overall look of the Huck. For example, a huck out the front of your house won’t be regarded as favourably as a huck in the forest.

All categories carry the same weight, so if you send it massive with a tech landing, it will outdo a simple small huck in the best location.

How will a winner be decided?

On the 25th the top 16 videos will be decided. Based on their similarity, they will be paired with a rival. Using an Instagram poll you, the fans will judge on the top 8, then the top 4, then 1st 2nd, and 3rd.

In this episode we chat with Cassie Voysey. She is by far one of the fastest riders in Australia at the moment and she is absolutely flying.

I can’t wait to see what is in her future.

Garry was one of the first people I wrote down on the list of people I wanted to talk to when I first started the podcast. He has been around since mountain biking started in the late ’80s. Progressing from technical fire roads to the bike parks we have today, Garry has seen it all. Now he is the Head of one of Australias biggest trail building companies with people stationed all over the country. We have a chat about his begging in MTB, Building tracks for everyone, and the impact of E-Bikes on trails. I hope you enjoy it.

Beyond borders: Chatting with the spirit of MTB, Olly Wilkins Sep 27, 2020

Show notes

I am so stoked to have Olly Wilkins in the podcast. I crisply remember seeing him in a dirt magazine for the first time, front end dumped down, nosing it deep into the next set of dirt jumps. Since then and the explosion of social media, he is still in my eyes, the spirit of MTB. Stoked to be riding all the time, frothing on new tech, and is at the forefront of brands embedded in the industry. We have a chat about riding, racing, and of course, Rampage.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Episode 35: Chatting with Connor about riding bikes and keeping humble Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

Connor Fearon, what else do I need to say?

He is one of the most humble and down to earth humans in mountain biking. Known all around the world as one of the best at cornering, the most stylish on the bike, and yet if you were to see him on the trail he acts like an everyday bloke. That is probably the reason he has been the most requested guest for the podcast. I was super stoked to have him on and I hope I have done the episode justice.

As always, a huge shout out to NSDynamics for keeping the podcast running. Their support means the world. Huck the world has kept me comfortable on and off the bike for the last year and I can’t recommend their kit enough. Use beyondthetape10 to get 10 percent off their kit. Jordo from FSR Media house made our voices sound the best and hit him up for all your video or audio needs.

Episode 33: Talking Racing in the 90’s, Massive injuries, and the transition to 24 hr racing with John Waddell Aug 07, 2020

Show notes

When I was getting into the sport as an early teen I would often see John Wadell’s name in all the big magazines.

As one of the pioneers in the sport, he has seen everything from racing Downhill on a bike with V-Brakes to racing 24-hour events on a bike 10 times safer. The story behind the transition from fast-paced risky downhill to 24-hour races is even crazier than the transition itself. In 2003 John had a huge crash resulting in massive brain trauma and John being in a coma for 26 days. We chat about his rehab and his unbelievable calm attitude towards the recovery.

As always huge shout out to NSDynamics for keeping the podcast going and keeping my bike’s suspension running better than ever. Huck The World has also come on board as an official sponsor and now and is offering 10% off to all our listeners using the discount code beyondthetape10. Also FSR media for producing the best quality audio, this podcast would be nothing without him.

Episode 32: Jackson Frew on finding his groove. Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

I am so happy to have Jackson finally share his story on this podcast!!

As a fan of his since before he was on GT, I was always intrigued as to what drove his passion for racing. He became a household name while on GT and then out of know where he was back doing his own thing. Everyone in the industry was gobsmacked but, it now completely makes sense.

We chat about his love for Datsuns, racing, and how important it is to have people you trust around you. I hope you enjoy it.

As always huge thanks to NS Dynamics for their support with the podcast. I have been running the Ohlins TTX22M on my new reign and I absolutely love it. If you need your bike suspension to feel better than ever jump over to nsdyamics.com.au.

Huck The World has kept me clothed for a while now and even their OG kit is still like new. Hit them up if you wanna look fresh on the trail.

Thanks to FSR Media For producing the sounds. Love every bit of work they do and can’t say how much I appreciate it enough.
