Episode 185 - Randemonium #2 - Hanging out With SRAM's Chris Mandell Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes, we just like hanging out. Our friend Chris Mandell, who works for SRAM, was up in Whistler at the same time as us and I thought it would be fun to have him on, ask him some questions he probably isn't meant to answer and have a sprawling conversation alongside with Dario and Kaz.

Episode 184 - What Makes the Perfect Trail? Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Henry, Kaz and Dario talk about what would be in their favourite trail. What it needs to have, what they love, and what they'd gladly live without. Do they want tech? Jumps? Or just some nice turns in the woods?

Episode 183 - Making Bikepacking as Unpleasant as Possible with Tom Bradshaw Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

Ex-Pinkbike presenter Tom Bradshaw has been doing a lot of traveling since he left Canada. However, on a quick trip back to BC we got a chance to chat with him and find out what he's been up to, why he loves hardtails and if he's ever going to come back to Canada for good.

Episode 182 - Pivot's Wild Prototype DH Bike with Bernard Kerr Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

After months of speculation, Pivot's prototype downhill bike broke cover in Lenzerheide last week. Bernard Kerr has been testing several versions of this bike through the off season—due in part to the aluminum-lugged carbon construction methods that Pivot says reduces the time required to make a rideable prototype. It also makes it easier to adjust the frame design, or as was the case here, evaluate two different suspension systems over 100+ of laps of testing.

Henry Quinney and Brian Park sit down with Pivot's Head of Engineering and Design Kevin Tisue, and Pivot Factory Racing's Bernard Kerr to talk about the new bike, DH racing, and more.

Episode 181 - BMX Backgrounds and Breaking Bikes with Taj Mihelich Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Taj breaks lots of bikes and parts, in ways that you may not be familiar with. We discuss what bike parts are allowed to break, and what is unforgivable. We also send out a challenge to any product managers listening and ask them if they're confident enough in their bike to send it for a true test under Taj.

Episode 180 - Sitting Down With the Man Behind Red Bull's Race Tapes Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

If you've seen some of YouTube's biggest hits, you've probably seen some of Boombox's work. Whether it's PBA, Fast Life or Red Bull Racetapes, the production company has had a huge hand in lots of larger serialized projects. Romain Dompnier's has had a hand in many of these projects. We got a chance to sit down with him in Squamish and talk about Red Bull, racing, and maybe a large amount of Formula One.

Episode 178 - Why We Suck at Mountain Biking May 12, 2023

Show notes

The internet is full of articles, videos and even podcasts telling you how to get better, but today we're asking the other question, why are we bad in the first place? What areas are we weakest at, and why do we think that is.

Episode 176 - What Should Bike Warranties Look Like? Apr 13, 2023
