Episode 203 - Nina Hoffman on World Cups, Starting Late and Making the Syndicate Her Home Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

In the last five years, Nina has gone from newcomer to world cup winner. We wanted to find out about her mindset, her perception of downhill compared to her initial career in athletics and what's it like joining one of the downhill's biggest, most established, and most successful teams.

Episode 202 - Neko Mulally on His Perfect Conceptual Bike, US Downhill Racing and Signing a Prodigious Talent Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

There are few downhill mountain bikers that are so multifaceted as Neko MulallyRacer. Not only is he racing World Cups, but he also runs a race series, supports grassroots riding and racing, has his own brand and team, develops his own bike, AND somehow finds time to represent the riders' union and scout the next big thing in US downhill. In this far-ranging chat, we try to cover as much as possible knowing full well that might just be a thankless task.

Episode 201 - Wyn Masters on Privateers, Enduro and Staying Authentic Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

Wyn's efforts to support privateers shouldn't be understated and, for such an established World Cup rider, his refreshing take on what downhill should be manages to articulate thoughts many of us may well have had.

During the next month, we'll be going to podcasts every Monday and Thursday, and we hope you enjoy this cadence.

Show notes

Troy Brosnan is a downhill athlete with a record like few others. As somebody who's only ridden for two World Cup teams in over a decade in the sport, he's ridden some period-defining bikes against some team-mates that rank amongst the all-time greats. We sat down in Mont-Sainte-Anne to find out more.

Episode 199 - Whose XC Bike is it Anyway? Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Downhill bikes typically have 200 mm of travel, and enduro bikes around 160, but cross-country bikes could have anything between 65 and 120. Progressive and conservative bikes compete against one another at the highest level, and some of these bikes even seem like things you'd ride for fun. But where is the category going? And what do we think of the current crop?

Episode 198 - Our Pedantic Pet Peeves Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

In this week's podcast, Dario, Kaz, and Matt join Henry to go over our worst and silliest complaints, as well as some of the things that never fail to put a smile on our face.

Episode 197 - When Will Women Ride Red Bull Rampage? (with Vaea Verbeeck) Sep 23, 2023

Show notes

Red Bull Rampage is the largest, most important freeride mountain bike event in the world. Rampage historically hasn't included a women's field, and Red Bull has been promoting the development of women's freeride through a non-competition event called Formation that's held on the same terrain. This year Formation was cancelled, leading some to speculate that Rampage might include a women's field. When the rider list came out last week, we were disappointed to see neither a women's field nor a public plan to integrate women into the event.

Alicia Leggett and I sat down with Vaea Verbeeck, one of the original Formation riders and a future Rampage hopeful, to hear her thoughts about the situation.

Episode 196 - The Industry Ideas That Just Keep Coming Back Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

In this weeks podcast, Henry, Dario, Kaz and Matt talk about what they wish would come back, and what they hope goes for ever. There are lukewarm takes, some strange tangents and some ideas that are just flatly antiquated and wrong.
