LOURDES POST-RACE - B Practice Podcast Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

Vital's B Practice Podcast kicks off with a post-race show discussing the Lourdes World Cup Downhill. Dakotah Norton, 11th place finisher in Lourdes, joins former #USDH World Cuppers, Jason Schroeder, Austin Hackett-Klaube and Tanner Stephens to discuss the first round in France. They ask Dak about his transition from YT to Intense, riding a brand new bike at the race, track difficulties, race results across all categories, why all the kits seem to look the same, Dak's color palette to stoke out his grandmother who's been diagnosed with cancer, and Fort William coming up. Oh, they apologize for leaving Luca out of the discussion. He's so good, it wasn't a shocker, HA!

Speaking of sickness, today's episode with Theo Dilworth of Allout Productions is a cracker! Sean Griz McClendon, plays host as they discuss the good times of filming and riding bikes! Theo's video catalog runs deep and his influence on keeping our sport fun and fresh is unparalleled.

Show notes

Welcome mountain bikers! Can you believe we started on this journey with The Inside Line podcast five years ago?! When we think about how fun mountain biking is and how incredible the people in our sport are, it’s no surprise that the time flew by. Everyone at Vital would like to thank you, the listener, for joining us on this ride. Rides with friends are always more fun and without you sharing the stoke with us, there’d be no reason to tell the stories from our community. Thank you!
We have a great show today with Joe Bowman of Steel City Media. Not just a man behind a video camera or social media channel, he’s pretty hand on a bike and is the reason The Union World Cup downhill team exists to help give young riders a shot at the big time. He is also the filmer behind the first Vital RAW with Adam Brayton at Schladming back in 2013!
