We will have to have them on for round two in a more proper way, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this awesome dynamic duo of Pearse who is crushing it at downhill and enduro racing and Reeve who is crushing it as the supportive Dad and in his own right gnarly mtb'er.

Jeff Fisher is one of a kind. Been bike packing and touring since age 11, this dude has been obsessed on bikes for a long long time.

On top of that he owns 16 bikes currently, rides every day usually for 3 hours and of top of all of that is one of the OG's of the Wood trails we ride. He doesn't have social media or really anything online and we are only the 3rd time in his lifetime he has shared anything of his story publicly.

This dude doesn't need much of a title nor does one really fit him. If you have been around the GA MTB scene you have likely heard of him. Whether it is from his World Cup enduro days, working in the industry at bike shops, or for companies like Bike Fettish and Factor/Novatec/HT, making his own race course Rockcrusher, or just shredding the gnar Ben Hobbs gives a rad perspective. We learn about his story starting off in moto to now. We also discuss his thoughts on bikes, preferences, and his new gig with Troy Lee and Intense!

There are many podcasts with Philip on them talking about SORBA stuff ie Trail Effects, Ride the Rebellion, SORBA Podcast, and so many more. I wanted to take a different approach and try to get the know the man behind the organization better. I hope you enjoy listening to one of the top dawgs behind our great organization for Southeast mountain biking! https://sorba.org/ https://www.instagram.com/sorba_main/ https://sorba.org/2025-sorba-summit/ https://hivepass.app/

We uncover the big news about SORBA breaking away from IMBA with Dan the Man! He brings a really cool fresh perspective to SORBA with his business and financial background, non profit experience and casual MTB'er. Being what he phrased as somewhat of an outsider of the industry he really looked at things in a different way to help pave the way for this big move. It was fun to get to know the guy behind SORBA but also him as a person. Got to know him originally as a fan of the podcast and him buying some merch from me near the trails. Was really cool to have him on and hope you enjoy! https://sorba.org/ https://www.instagram.com/popinnorthga/

What a treat it was to talk to Stan who has been in the mountain biking space a long time! We will need a part two of this soon as we only fit about half the discussions we wanted to.

We also touched on his trail work and being a USFS Certified Sawyer, favorite saws, favorite bikes and soooo much more. His group is also responsible for two of the most used mtb trail systems Chicopee and Jake/Bull MTN, along with 7 other trail systems. Catch ya a listen of this local legend! Disclaimer: This guest has a dry sense of humor. If you get offended by a comment he makes, it was probably a bad joke. His humor is like a dry red wine. You don't realize till the next day that you drank too much. https://www.negasorba.org/

So after chatting with DJ and hearing stories of his son Aiden, I had to have this young racer get on the podcast as well to share his story! Aiden started racing at a young age, so young they had to lie to get him into races and he still rocked them. He was on a bike probably before he could walk. It was great to hear a perspective from someone who has grown up around the sport and living in a mountain biking mecca.

This episode spans all types of Gnar! I got the opportunity to catch up with one of my best friends from high school and we had a lot to talk about. He has been a professional kayaker for many years spanning team USA, massive waterfall drops, etc. but also loves all adventure xtreme sports like mountain biking, skiing, paragliding, climbing, hydra-foiling, and so much more. I hope you get a kick out of this as much as I did! https://www.instagram.com/isaaclevkayak/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/josh-schaefer/support
