Bike Talk with Dave: Bicycle racing, cyclocross, gravel, mountain bike, road and tech
Freeride skiing is an exhilarating sport that pushes the boundaries of skiing and challenges the limits of athleticism. In this episode, we dive into an enlightening conversation with Jess Hotter, the 2022 Freeride World Tour champion. She unpacks the essence of freeride skiing and what it takes to excel in this dynamic sport, and how an injury can derail a lifetime of preparation and training. In February of 2026 Hotter crashed at the Freeride World Championships tearing her ACL, MCL and meniscus, as well as straining most other ligaments in her knee. Today she and Dave discuss the physical and mental challenges of repair and rehab and the long road in their return to sport. Understanding Freeride Skiing: What Sets It Apart?Freeride skiing is not just about speeding down groomed slopes; it encompasses the thrill of navigating untracked terrain and challenging conditions. Jess describes it as skiing with friends while aiming for the highest point on a mountain and making the descent as stylish as possible. The aim is to choose lines that showcase skill, creativity, and control, ultimately judged on criteria like air, style, speed, fluidity, and technique.The Journey from Casual Skier to Freeride CompetitorFor those wondering how to transition from casual skiing to freeride competition, Jess highlights the importance of progression. It's about taking small steps—starting from easy jumps to more significant cliffs and challenging terrains. By gradually pushing boundaries and learning from every experience, skiers can build the confidence and skills needed to tackle high-stakes competitions. Key Takeaways- Freeride skiing is about creativity and skill in navigating untracked terrain.- Competitions are judged on multiple criteria, emphasizing style and technique.- Preparation and visualization are crucial for a successful run.- Progression is essential for those looking to move into competitive freeride skiing.Freeride skiing represents the pinnacle of skiing excellence, combining creativity, skill, and a love for the outdoors. If you're inspired to explore this thrilling sport, start small, push your limits, and remember that every great skier was once a beginner.

Glen Plake is the most legendary, the most known skier of our time—maybe of all time—and I've interviewed him more than anyone. But this podcast series couldn't end without a final Plake episode, and this one was timed perfectly, the day after Freeride was named an Olympic sport. You can bet Glen has a strong opinion about that, and we also talk about FIS, SIA, skiing, life, Kimberley, and so much more. It's another fun episode with a living legend and I get some new stories out of Glen.

David Kilgour in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clean-Dreamlife-Need-Rubber-Soul/dp/1627311831 The Clean was a New Zealand indie rock band formed in Dunedin in 1978. They have been described as the most influential band to come from the Flying Nun label, which recorded many artists associated with the "Dunedin sound", and one of the first bands to be described as "indie rock". Led by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, the band rotated through a number of musicians before settling on their well-known and longest running line-up with Robert Scott. Their name comes from a character from the movie Free Ride called Mr. Clean.

For decades, Americans were told that success was simple: graduate high school, enroll in a four-year college, and launch a career from there. But as college enrollment has expanded and costs have skyrocketed, the results have become increasingly difficult to justify. Many students never complete a degree, others graduate without meaningful skills, all while the system continues to push young people into a single pathway that often fails to match their talents.Dan Currell, author of The College Question, joins Oren to discuss how the college-for-all approach came to dominate Americans' jump from high school to adulthood. They discuss the incentives that keep the system expanding, the gap between what colleges promise and what many students actually gain, and how cultural expectations push families toward this path even when better options might exist for their children. They close by considering what it would take to rebuild credible alternatives, from technical education and apprenticeships to employer-led training, that could offer young Americans more reliable routes into productive work.Further Reading:“One Big Question: Hands-On Training or a Free Ride on Campus?” Oren Cass, Commonplace

Pode alguém ser consensual e controverso ao mesmo tempo? No caso de Fred D'Orey pode e deve. Unanimemente reconhecido com um dos melhores surfistas da sua geração, o prestígio que o carioca conquistou com suas rasgadas, batidas e tubos encontrou equivalência no seu desempenho como jornalista e empresário. Opiniões independentes e destemidas sempre despertaram os ânimos da torcida, contra e a favor. No Boia, opiniões diferentes são sempre bem-vindas, principalmente quando acompanhadas por boas histórias, referências musicais e tudo aquilo que a gente gosta de chamar pro botequim. Julio Adler e João Valente (Bruno trabalhando no Ceará)conversam com um daqueles convidados que nunca precisou de convite para sentar na mesa mas que só veio quando convocado. Pra acompanhar o papo, tem The Miracles tocando Overture e relembrando vinhetas de outras eras, Hummingbird evocando a liberdade de Free Ride, com Island of Dreams e Loco de Amor do David Byrne (com Celiz Cruz) direto da trilha sonora de Something Wild de 1986.

Born in 1955, hailing from Durban, South Africa, Shaun Tomson won the IPS world title in 1977. He did 14 seasons on the world tour, and won 12 events, including the 1975 Pipeline Masters, in which he made giant leaps for backside tube riding. He starred in many '70s and '80s surf films, among them Free Ride, where he's seen pumping through the barrel at Backdoor and Off the Wall—an entirely new thing at the time. But Tomson's surfing was only part of the equation. He was business minded, and in the late '70s launched a clothing label, Instinct, and in 1985 a surf shop, Surfbeat, in Santa Monica. He holds a BA in Business Finance. In 1991, Australia's Surfing Life mag named him as the world's all-time best tube rider. Tomson co-produced Bustin' Down the Door, a 2008 documentary film chronicling the rise of pro surfing in the early '70s. He's the author of the best-selling Surfer's Code: 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life.

Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).
Camille Jaccoux est né avec des skis aux pieds.Fils de guide de haute montagne il grandit à Chamonix et se prend très vite d'une passion dévorante pour la glisse.Au point qu'il n'a jamais imaginé faire autre chose de sa vie.Camille commence par le ski de bosse avant de prendre un virage radical vers le Freeride (ski hors-piste) au milieu des années 90.S'en suivent 10 ans d'une carrière pro exceptionnelle à explorer les montagnes du monde entier sur le fameux "Freeride World Tour".À 32 ans, il met fin à sa carrière et se libère enfin du temps pour un projet qu'il a en tête depuis plusieurs années : créer une marque de skis qui pourrait bousculer les "majors", les marques dominantes de l'industrie.Avec 2 amis et associés, il lance Black Crows en 2006 à Chamonix, là où tout a commencé.Ils misent sur des skis techniques mais accessibles, adaptés à toutes les neiges et surtout sur un design hors des codes de l'époque pensé par le talentueux Yorgo Tloupas.Poussée par l'explosion du freeride, la marque devient rapidement un symbole que les skieurs s'arrachent et envahit les pistes — et les hors-pistes — du monde entier.Camille est un vieux briscard qui a traversé toutes les époques, les modes et les tendances de la montagne depuis 30 ans et s'en est servi pour créer un intemporel.Entrez dans les coulisses d'une véritable “love brand” devenue icône de la culture ski à la française.Vous pouvez contacter Camille sur LinkedIn et le suivre sur Instagram.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : La montagne dans le sang00:16:28 : Flairer la puissance de la création de contenu avant tout le monde00:23:03 : Les meilleurs spots de ski du monde00:28:36 : Bousculer les majors00:39:11 : Le jour 1 de Black Crows00:45:19 : Créer une marque qui résonne bien au-delà du ski00:56:43 : Chamonix, la capitale des sports outdoors01:05:30 : Le hack marketing que toutes les marques devraient connaître01:12:50 : La collaboration iconique de Black Crows avec Colette Paris01:27:43 : Comment faire des US son premier marché01:37:51 : Utiliser les réseaux sociaux comme aucune autre marque de ski01:43:56 : “Les gens pensaient qu'on était 70, on était 14”01:49:36 : Le passage risqué de l'outdoor au lifestyle01:59:12 : Téhéran, Maroc, Japon : les endroits les plus dingues où Camille a skiéLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #509 - Nicolas Mermoud - HOKA - Retourner le marché du running avec des semelles "grotesques”#496 - Sébastien Kopp - VEJA - Faire du business autrement[Hors-Série Red Bull] - Luc Reversade - La Folie Douce - "On est les seuls à avoir un chef étoilé qui fait danser sur les tables à 2500m d'altitude”Nous avons parlé de :Claude Jaccoux, le père de CamilleBlack CrowsBruno CompagnetGlen Plake, un des précurseurs du freeskiBruno Gouvi qui descend l'aiguille des Drus en snowOscar MandinKristofer Turdell, champion du monde de Freeride en Black CrowsJackson Hole dans le WyomingJulien RegnierRabbit on the RoofYorgo Tloupas, le designer de génie derrière Black CrowsAYAQLes recommandations de lecture :Kolkhoze - Emmanuel CarrèreL'usure d'un monde : Une traversée de l'Iran - François-Henri DésérableL'invitation à l'altitude - Claude JaccouxUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : SquareSpace : squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onelyVous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Andrew Pollard is one of those kids that grew up at Alta and had the mountain as his babysitter/playground. And while it took Andrew a little longer to become a name in the ski industry--compared to his pro skier friends and classmates, Andrew eventually made it to the top. But what's different and cool about Andrew's story is that he's not just a skier; he's also, an artist, a DJ, freeride coach, and in the podcast, he has no filter. All of this makes for a fun episode and Andrew's little sister Jackie asks the Inappropriate Questions.

On today's Gnar Couch Podshow, the boys somehow tricked freeride legend Tyler McCaul into a raw, questionably-legal look at big-mountain biking. Tyler opened up about the highs, the lows of Rampage. We got into what it's really like behind the scenes of the Rampage broadcast. He talked about dad life, athlete life, and attempting to keep a career alive while the bike industry plays musical chairs with bankruptcy filings. Naturally, Jimmy asked zero relevant questions and Boston Rob salivated over another freeride pro joining the show. We dug into why riders keep sending it off mountains shaped like middle fingers and how to find balance in a world where everyone's pretending to be sponsored on Instagram. If you want the real story on riding, risk, community, and staying true to what you love,, this episode fully delivers like a FedEx driver hopped up on 72-Hour Energy. Tune in. Or don't. We're still cooler than all the other MTB content creators combined (in our heads), so we'll be fine. Guest info: Tyler McCaul Check out our store for sick shirts.

Send us a textThe Back in Time Brothers: High School Hits of the 70sGet ready to jump, get ready to sway! Join DJ Paulie and his brother Lou—The Back in Time Brothers—as heard on URL radio for a wild trip back to the 70s. We're diving deep into the High School Hits of the 70s, the tracks that became the soundtrack to growing up in the decade of lava lamps and Letterman jackets. Lace up your sneakers and crank the volume as we revisit the rock anthems that blasted out of Trans Ams, including Ted Nugent's guitar-fueled "Strangle Hold", Deep Purple's "Highway Star" (a badge of cool for teens who loved cars and guitars), and Head East's "Never Been Any Reason," often nicknamed the rock and roll national anthem.We've got the full rock spectrum, from the raw blues-driven rocker "Tush" by ZZ Top, to the ultimate cruising music, Fog Hat's "Slow Ride", all the way up to Edgar Winter Group's feel-good classic, "Free Ride". And when the lights dimmed at the gym? We've got the ultimate teenage heartbreak ballad, Nazareth's "Love Hurts," which filled high school proms.But we're more than just classic rock! The Back in Time Brothers bring the laughs with their infamous segments:Rock Talk: 70s Fads: Expert Todd Snyder deep-dives into the wonderfully weird world of 70s culture. We explore everything from the infamous Pet Rock (which sold over 1.5 million units for $3.95 a piece), to the mystical and pseudoscientific mood ring, and the bizarre cultural juggernaut of streaking (a competitive sport on college campuses). We'll also look at how Happy Days gave us the phrase “jump the shark” when The Fonz water-skied over one!Stupid Criminals: Tune in for a weekly lineup of losers, dimwitted schemes, and laughable mistakes. Hear about the woman busted for dressing in a hot dog costume and covering her neighbor's car in toilet paper, or the man who decided to sell marijuana to raise money to afford police academy.Random Facts: Lou and Paul share bizarre scientific and animal tidbits, like how one teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons and why a bearcat smells like hot buttered popcorn!Bad Dates: Listen to real-life dating disasters, including a guy who threw the ends of French fries on the floor, another who immediately called his blind date "average looking", and a disastrous encounter involving a Bills-themed man cave and a perplexing "mommy kink".So, slip on those bell bottoms, adjust the leisure suit lapels, and get ready to be taken on a free ride. The Back in Time Brothers are bringing the sound and the laughs!Support the showThanks for listening. Join us each Monday at 1pm Central at www.urlradio.net and follow us on Facebook!
Affirmative action and DEI have become lightning rods in today's culture wars, but how much do we really know about where they came from and why they exist? In this episode, Sergio breaks down the long history of systemic racism in America, from slavery and Jim Crow to redlining and modern hiring bias. You'll learn what affirmative action actually is, what DEI really means, and how both have shaped access, opportunity, and fairness for everyone not just a few. This isn't about guilt. It's about awareness. Because when you understand the history, you start to see the patterns. And once you see them, you can't unsee them.1.Intro2. America's Original Construction Project3.

Jess Hotter is the 2022 Freeride World Tour Champion and a fixture in ski movies but Jess wasn't a ski prodigy or anything like that when she was coming up. She had a ski life and future that screamed “liftie” but Jess wasn't going to settle for that. An initial push from her parents for a post high school gap year in Canada, created a ski journey that has had Jess living in more world class resorts than almost anyone on the podcast...All before she achieved her pro ski success. Jess played the long game, surrounded herself with what she loved, and it all worked out in the end. Yes, life can be that easy if you're as hard working and passionate as Jess.

In this fiery WDOWS episode, the New York City mayoral debate turns into a circus — with Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and the self-proclaimed Marxist candidate promising free buses, free groceries, and no prosecution for misdemeanors. Meanwhile, crime runs wild, businesses flee, and taxpayers get squeezed dry. Chris breaks down why NYC's decline isn't just political—it's a warning for every major city chasing “free stuff” at the cost of common sense.
This week on the Gnar Couch Podshow, we hang with rampage-riding legend CJ Ceilig. Okay, she's not legendary yet, but she will be after this podcast. She somehow makes a terrible sausage party pod team actually worth listening to. She's a Eurotah-bouncing, breakfast sandwich-dodging shredder who's done it all. From bluffing her way through a bike-shop job (“Derailleur? Totally pasta.”) to leading teams at Five Ten and Reverse Components, CJ's story is equal parts hilarious and inspiring. We talk about the chaos of Rampage prep, the magic and madness of Virgin, Utah, and the glamorous side of living in a van, which may or may not include neighbors who poop in buckets. If you're here for serious bike discussion, you're in the wrong place. But if you love grit, humor, and real stories from the freeride desert and beyond, hit play.

Damon Iwanaga was born to race flat track motorcycles, just like his dad. Eventually, he graduated to moto and his life path was set, he was going to turn pro and dominate the world of Supercross. That dream doesn't work out for many people and Damon eventually found himself in community college figuring out life. But a move to Tahoe and a pivot to mountain bikes sent Damon's life on a new trail. On the podcast we talk growing up with Tyler Bereman, moto, mtb, events, the cannabis connection and much more.

Bas van Steenbergen has been a dual threat on his mountain bike for over a decade. Part racer and part freerider, Bas has the rare ability to compete at the highest level in both disciplines. While that's cool, his story is even better. Growing up overseas with his equally as rad little brother Tom, Bas, raced BMX until he moved to Canada and bought a mountain bike. And while he got on a big bike later than most, that didn't stop him and the rest is history. On the podcast, we talk about the status of the bike industry, sponsorship, Downhill, Rampage, content and more. Little brother Tom van Steenbergen asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Noraly Schoenmaker was living a comfortable life in the Netherlands, building a career as a geologist, when her world was suddenly turned upside down. For some, heartbreak might mean retreating inward, but Noraly chose something radically different. She walked away from the life she knew, packed up what she could, and set off to explore the world on a motorcycle. It wasn't a wild whim — her work had already taken her to far-flung places like Panama and Indonesia, exploring gold mines and studying sand. But this time, it was her journey. Over 20,000 miles later, through countries like Iraq, Iran, and India, she found freedom, connection, and perspective — one road, one meal, one encounter at a time.Noraly Schoenmaker is the creator of the hugely popular Itchy Boots YouTube channel. What began as a solo motorcycle trip has evolved into a global journey, with Noraly riding through remote regions, wild landscapes, and across entire continents — from South America to North America, and from Europe to Africa. Her background in biology and geology adds a thoughtful layer to her travels, and when she's not riding, she calls the Netherlands home. Noraly is also the author of FREE RIDE.

We're an independent podcast and rely on listener support. Thanks! Marco te Brömmelstroet, also known as "The Fietsprofessor," returns to The War on Cars to discuss a new study he co-authored with Dr. Ian Walker, another former guest of the podcast. The study takes a look at a phenomenon where people accept the harms and risks associated with cars in ways they wouldn't in other areas of life. But unlike Dr. Walker's previoius study — and that of Dr. Tara Goddard, another friend of The War on Cars — this new study asks where motonormativity comes from and examines the ways in which it manifests itself differently depending on factors such as where a person lives or their perceptions of the beliefs of their friends and family. The results are fascinating. Marco also studies language and how it affects people's perceptions of mobility and had a lot to say about how we can tell better stories about who and what our streets are for. ***Our new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, will be published on October 21, 2025 by Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
