    It's rare to find an instructor who possesses the gift to teach and a passion for the subject matter. Shanna Powell is that rare exception. As the proprietor and leader of Endless Bike Company, Shanna knows a good bit about how to make your bike run better. But she also knows a lot about how to make YOU better on your bike. And she has a very special gift for showing you how to get there. Shanna joined the Involuntary Dismount Podcast at Gateway Park in Travelers Rest, SC for a day of private instruction. Refusing to charge for the lesson, Shanna said she had come to help us progress our riding simply for the sake of sharing the love of riding with others. What kind of person does that? Shanna does. Find out more about Shanna's line of bike components at https://endlessbikes.com/ Get more information about instruction from Shanna here: https://www.endlessbikegirlmtbskills.com/ PS: It snowed on us while we recorded.

    Sean (Shorty) McGroarty is a radio personality, entrepreneur and mountain bike shredder from Greenville, SC. He's been a friend of mine for twenty years, so this week's conversation tends to veer off-course and out of control more than most....but it certainly is fun. Sean rides DuPont, Paris Mtn and Holston Creek more often than others. Hear his recount of his trips with me to DuPont, how I once tried to push him off a mountain and how we once traded bikes on a long climb out of DuPont. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idmtb/support
