It's common for everyone to chase the simple answer for what the best product is. In this week's Geek Warning, Dave and Ronan discuss why those chasing the best of something may be landing upon fiction.   Additionally, you'll hear about the differing paths in aero road wheel design between the latest from Princeton Carbon Works and Cadex. Of course, there's a PSA. And our Good Thing segment returns.   As with every week, members of Escape Collective get access to our Ask a Wrench segment. This week, Zach Edwards joins Dave to discuss greasing principles, whether to lube electronic derailleurs, mixing-and-matching SRAM brakes, and more. If you like the show, then please consider leaving a review. It's much appreciated.   Happy geeking! Time stamps:   1:20 - Princeton Carbon Works' research into rim widths 10:50 - Cadex's new aero combo  20:00 - SRAM's new gravity MTB products 22:55 - Ibis has a new XC bike  24:00 - On our mind: There is no best  36:50 - PSA: Know when you don't know   46:00 - Good thing: Sync Ergonomics Aerobar Three 51:00 - Ask a Wrench (Members only) 51:30 - Do you lube the pivots of electronic derailleurs?  59:20 - Shimano MTB vs Road on an indoor trainer  1:04:00 - Mixing SRAM dropbar shifters with four-piston calipers  1:09:30 - Applying grease to a thread and how much to use

Thanks to Tourism Tasmania I recently travelled to Maydena where I got to sit down with the one and only, Ed Masters. Ed's at a really interesting point in his career right now, so we get into what's changed for him, why he's moving away from a full Enduro World Cup schedule, and how his perspective on racing has evolved over the years. We talk a bit about the state of enduro,where the discipline sits right now, the challenges it's facing, and why things feel quite different to a few years ago. From there, the conversation continues, touching on the resurgence of downhill, the new generation coming through, and just how fast the level of the sport keeps moving. Along the way, we also chat about Ed's plans for the season ahead, what's keeping him motivated, and plenty more besidesSo sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Ed Masters.

What do polar expeditions have to teach you about conserving energy, building resilience, and showing up with real confidence? In this episode of The Discomfort Zone, Anna sits down with endurance performance coach Jon Fearne, who has trained record breaking solo polar explorers, Atlantic rowers, and elite endurance athletes for nearly 30 years. This conversation isn't about heroics. It's about what builds real confidence and resilience day after day, and it's probably not what you think. They explore: Why routine reduces mental strain and builds resilience How small energy leaks — not big mistakes — cause failure How to train your nervous system for high-stress environments The psychology of solo adventure What failure really teaches you Why waiting for perfect conditions keeps you stuck Jon shares the unfiltered truth about elite performance: it's not built in heroic moments. It's built in daily discipline. If you've been waiting for ideal conditions before taking action — this episode is your reminder: Confidence comes from preparation. And preparation happens in the mundane.

B. Geräusche) neu verknüpfen?Warum ist Biken und Bewegung ein echtes Reset-Tool fürs Gehirn?Warum kannst Du diese Benefits von Bewegung auf dem Bike nur dann wirklich genießen, wenn Du bestimmte Voraussetzungen erfüllst?Und: Was bleibt wirklich wichtig, wenn alles andere ins Wanken gerät?Warum solltest Du die Skill Up Challenge auf keinen Fall verpassen

Five-time overall World Cup champion, but that's history. This episode is about what's next. We dive into the move to Frameworks, his plan to ‘go dark' and get back to his very best, and what Hardline Tasmania was really like from inside the tape. We talk about sharing the pits with teammate and phenom, Asa Vermette, and how that dynamic is shaping up. He also opens up about rebuilding his fitness, the motivation that's still driving him, and what he expects from the season ahead. It's a laid-back chat with one of the greatest the sport has ever seen, heading into what could be the most exciting downhill season in years.

Reach out and touch us: shiftlesslive@gmail.comThe hosts record at Casa Verde after recent technical issues and discuss upcoming Fam Food Adventure Memories dinners. Bike topics include Schwalbe entering the 32-inch tire market across mountain, gravel, and reportedly road, plus a rumor of a major brand debuting a 32-inch bike at Sea Otter. They discuss a theory that brands are trying to convert post-COVID gravel buyers who aren't “N+1” riders by offering more stable, confidence-inspiring mountain bikes to expand participation. They talk about the Salsa full-suspension gravel e-bike (Class 3, ~40 lb, 2.2" tires, ~50-mile range) with a high price, and debate who the market is for. They also review the Salsa Stormchaser (frameset vs complete pricing, sliding dropouts, ability to fit 2.2" tires) and discuss bottom bracket standards (criticizing press-fit). The episode covers New Jersey's new law treating any e-bike as a motorcycle (lights, mirror, DOT helmet, plate/registration, insurance) and predicts more sweeping enforcement elsewhere due to high-speed e-bike accidents. The conversation branches into parallels with the gun industry's COVID boom, long-range shooting training to 800 yards, safety and education, and how event organizers manage participant risk. They close with planning notes for Trinity Trio (moved to Sunday the 15th, ~100 miles full route) and conclude with the host heading to Whitesboro to document the kitchen and refrigeration setup.00:00 Mic Check Mayhem: Are We Actually Recording?00:38 Welcome to Shiftless at Casa Verde (Weather, Vibes, Pool Talk)01:21 What's on the Agenda: 32-inch Wheels, E-Bikes & New Laws02:43 FAM Food Adventure Memories Sponsor + Dinner Schedule Updates04:50 January Dinners Canceled: Snow Forecasts, Ice, and Event Chaos07:11 Gravel Road Conditions After the Storm: Potholes, Chunk & Predictions10:21 February 28 FAM Dinner Promo + Menu Tease12:38 Sbarro in New York: The ‘Good Slice' Misunderstanding Storytime16:58 Back to Bikes: Schwalbe Enters 32-Inch Tires + Road/UCI Speculation18:37 The Big Theory: Turning Gravel Newbies into N+1 Riders via MTB22:13 Training Slump & Sick Weeks: Getting Back on the Bike23:16 Salsa Stormchaser Deep Dive: Dropouts, 2.2" Clearance & Build Options28:39 New Salsa Wander: Full-Suspension Gravel E-Bike Arrives29:13 Teal Talk & First Impressions of Salsa's New Gravel E‑Bike30:02 Specs Breakdown: Range, Weight, Tires, Class 3 Speed—and the $13K Question33:46 Salsa Lineup Rumors: Warbird, Spearfish, Name Changes & What's “Coming Soon”35:47 All‑Road vs Gravel: Surly Midnight Special, Industry Identity Crisis & COVID Hangover36:47 SHOT Show Parallels: Forecasting, N+1 Culture, and the ‘Year of the Suppressor'40:15 Range Life: Long‑Range Qualification, Training Layers, and Why Suppressors Rule47:00 Insurance, Scuba Tragedy & Event Risk—From Cave Diving Rules to Gravel Shenanigans54:05 Running Safer Gravel Events: New Rider Handholding, Self‑Responsibility & 101 Clinics01:00:12 Beginner Progression: Gear Overwhelm, Skill Layering, and Building a Real Training Program01:03:09 Back to Riding: Garmin Recovery Shock & Texas Chainring Massacre Weather Check01:05:05 Windy, deceptively cold night ride (wet bulb & layering mistakes)01:06:45 Whitesboro food service plan + kitchen/fridge scouting01:07:54 Locking in March dates & moving Trinity Trio to Sunday01:09:06 Trinity Trio route breakdown: Gateway–Sansom–River Legacy mileage01:09:48 What bike (or e-bike) works?

I switched seats recently and was interviewed by Rich from the Sportsense podcast. Enjoy! ------Jake Johnstone is the founder of The Mind Mountain and a premier MTB coach based in Squamish, BC. Jake has carved out a unique niche by bridging the gap between technical skill and high-performance psychology. Having successfully transitioned from seasonal coaching to year-round programming, he serves as a best-in-class case study for the future of the coaching industry.Expect to learn why facing your fears - like the journey from zero to backflip - is a non-negotiable for becoming a better coach, the strategic pivots Jake made to transform a seasonal business into a year-round high-performance program, and how cultural differences across the globe dictate the way we process risk. We dive into the "full-circle" philosophy of integrating technical skill with high-performance psychology, the mental performance tools required to manage anxiety on high-risk features, and his prediction on why the future of coaching must embrace a technological evolution to survive.Check out the Sportsense Coaching App here.___________________________ FREE Mental About MTB Community with direct access to me

Trek ha sido la principal protagonista de este episodio, y no solo porque haya incorporado a su catálogo la nueva Charter+, una e-bike tan válida para moverte por la ciudad como para disfrutar de los caminos, y con precios bastante interesantes, sino también por las imágenes que hemos podido ver en una de las primeras competiciones de la temporada... y que anuncian la llegada de un nuevo modelo de XC para la marca de Wisconsin. Una bicicleta que, por lo que sabemos hasta ahora, emplearía un sistema monopivote de suspensión trasera, con recorridos que la situarían entre la Supercaliber y la TopFuel, ocupando un espacio que hasta ahora se encontraba un poco 'huérfano' dentro de la marca, y que muchos bikers estaban demandando. Además de Trek, Vittoria también ha sido protagonista estos días, pues la marca italiana ha dejado ver en la feria británica iceBike 2026 un prototipo de su neumático Peyote XC Race... en 32'' pulgadas. Hemos hablado con la marca directamente y te contamos los detalles del desarrollo que están siguiendo, con el objetivo de ponerlo en el mercado en 2027. Nos hacemos eco también de las buenas noticias que proceden de Campagnolo y que nos hablan de su 'marcha atrás' en lo que a despidos se refiere. Tras llegar a un acuerdo con los trabajadores, la marca sigue adelante con la idea de recuperar su operatividad y su lugar en el mercado. Finalmente, repasamos la actualidad y las presentaciones de algunos de nuestros equipos más destacados, como el Caja Rural-Seguros RGA y sus bicicletas MMR, presentes en el próximo Tour de Francia, el renovado Buff-BH Team y el ya clásico Orbea Fox Factory Team. Este episodio cuenta con el patrocinio de Canyon y su renovada Spectral:ON, que vuelve en 2026 mejor que nunca. Llega con una nueva batería de 800 Wh con carcasa de aluminio, más robusta y segura, mantiene el formato mullet y monta el fiable motor Shimano EP801. Todo ello con una gran relación calidad-precio que arranca en 3.999 €, demostrando que la e-MTB de alto nivel puede ser accesible.

They've got new bikes, new ideas, and a new superstar signing in Aaron Gwin. To give us the inside story, we're talking to Neko Mullaly, the man behind the team. He'll take us through the strategy behind the bikes, the thinking behind signing one of the biggest names in the sport, and what it's like managing a team at the cutting edge of downhill racing.

Thanks to Tourism Tasmania, I've been on the ground in Maydena this week for Red Bull Hardline, a race that sits right on the limit of what's possible. The course demanded full commitment all week, and when heavy rain hit on race day, any margin for error vanished. The course crew did everything they could, but it simply wasn't safe for the riders. Even without a race, the riders pushed the limits throughout the week, testing their skills, on one of the most unforgiving tracks in the sport. Afterwards, I sat down with Eliot Jackson, Neko Mulally and Asa Vermette to chat about the week and to break down what really went on: how decisions were made, and why not running the race was the only call possible. So sit back, hit play and check out this Hardline Tasmania post-race show with Eliot Jackson Neko Mulally and special guest, Asa Vermette. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

Aquí os dejamos una episodio con Jorge, el cual nos habla sobre el entrenamiento en MTB, su enfoque y describe su pasión por las dos ruedas.

Thanks to Tourism Tasmania, I'm on the ground in Maydena this week, riding the trails, soaking up the atmosphere, and bringing you content straight from Red Bull Hardline. After day two of practice, I was invited to host a live show in front of a packed Maydena crowd, where I sat down with three riders taking on Hardline for the very first time, Mikayla Parton, Ryan Gilchrist, and Aaron Gwin. Different backgrounds, different careers, same task ahead of them. We talk honestly about the fear that comes with hitting these features for the first time, how each of them is working through that, and what it takes to go from simply surviving the track to actually riding it at race pace. This is a fun, open, and insightful conversation with three of the best in the sport, recorded live in Tasmania. So sit back, hit play and check out this Hardline Tasmania live show with Mikayla Parton, Ryan Gilchrist and Aaron Gwin. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can find Maydena Bike Park on Instagram @maydenabikepark or their website maydenabikepark.com. Thanks to Tourism Tasmania for making this episode possible.

La salida de Shimano de Eurobike 2026 deja a la feria alemana en una situación complicada. Esto nos lleva de nuevo a debatir sobre las ferias sectoriales de la bicicleta y cual sería el formato más acertado para todos los actores. En Eurobike, precisamente, pero hace dos años, ZF presentó su incursión en las e-bikes con el revolucionario motor CentriX que, en teoría, iba a llegar al mercado sobre las bicicletas Raymon en 2025. Pero tras diversos retrasos y dudas, el gigante alemán procedente de la automoción ha decidido suspender su división de e-bikes. Y con ello, dejar en el limbo un sistema de asistencia que pintaba muy bien. Pero no todo son malas noticias. También analizamos una de las e-enduro más potentes, en todos los sentidos, de los últimos meses. La Pivot Shuttle LT Gen 3, que destaca por una capacidad de personalización geométrica casi inagotable. El mundo de los componentes y los accesorios también se ha comenzado a mover en este inicio de año con la nueva gama de lentes Ridescape de Shimano para gravel, carretera y MTB, o las nuevas ruedas de Cadex, las Ultra 40, todo un ejercicio de ligereza y aerodinámica para carretera. Este episodio cuenta con el patrocinio de Canyon y su renovada Spectral:ON, que vuelve en 2026 mejor que nunca. Llega con una nueva batería de 800 Wh con carcasa de aluminio, más robusta y segura, mantiene el formato mullet y monta el fiable motor Shimano EP801. Todo ello con una gran relación calidad-precio que arranca en 3.999 €, demostrando que la e-MTB de alto nivel puede ser accesible. Descubre la renovada Canyon Spectral:ON a través de este enlace: https://www.canyon.com/es-es/bicicletas-electricas/mountain-bike-electrica/spectral-on/#section-product-grid Más referencias: Shimano no estará en Eurobike: https://www.maillotmag.com/actualidad/shimano-no-estara-en-eurobike-2026-el-golpe-definitivo-la-feria-europea ZF suspende su división de e-bikes: https://www.maillotmag.com/actualidad/zf-suspende-su-division-de-e-bikes-tras-romper-su-alianza-con-raymon-bicycles Pivot Shuttle LT Gen 3: https://www.mtbpro.es/actualidad/nueva-pivot-shuttle-lt-gen3 Nuevas lentes Shimano RideEscape: https://www.mtbpro.es/actualidad/nueva-lente-shimano-ridescape-tr https://www.maillotmag.com/actualidad/nuevas-lentes-shimano-ridescape-br-y-ar Ruedas Cadex Ultra 40: https://www.maillotmag.com/actualidad/nuevas-cadex-ultra-40-equilibrio-entre-ligereza-y-aerodinamica

Thanks to Tourism Tasmania, I'm on the ground in Maydena this week to experience the incredible trail network and to bring you content from Red Bull Hardline. So, following our World Cup style approach, you'll be getting a pre and a post-race show from the event.  For today's pre-race show, we're joined by the man behind Maydena Bike Park and Hardline Tasmania, Simon French, alongside racer, local legend and last years rider of the week, Dan Booker. We'll be hearing about changes to the course, sneaky inside lines and what it's really like to ride this beast. We talk about some of the riders we're excited to see on track, wether the world cup racers might be holding back a little to stay safe ahead of the season,  and how this track compares to the original Hardline in Wales. It's the first big race of 2026 and there's plenty to discuss. So sit back, hit play and check out this Hardline Tasmania pre-race show with Simon French and Dan Booker. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can find Maydena Bike Park on Instagram @maydenabikepark or their website maydenabikepark.com.

En este episodio 22 de la temporada 5 de BiciLAB tenemos una entrevista exclusiva que nadie más ha contado así. Hablamos con Pedro, el chico que iba justo detrás de Jonas Vingegaard en el momento de su accidente la semana pasada. Nos relata desde dentro qué ocurrió realmente, cómo se produjo la caída y, sobre todo, cómo reaccionó el propio Vingegaard en esos primeros instantes tras el impacto. Un testimonio directo, sin especulación y con detalles que no se han visto en televisión.Además, entramos de lleno en la previa de la Mediterranean Epic: qué corredores estarán en la línea de salida, quiénes son los grandes favoritos y qué podemos esperar de una de las pruebas por etapas más importantes del calendario XCO/XCM. Analizamos el nivel, el recorrido y las claves que pueden marcar la carrera.Como cada semana, repasamos todas las noticias más relevantes del mountain bike, con debate y opinión desde dentro del mundillo, y cerramos el episodio con novedades importantes de nuestro camino hacia Cape: avances en la equipación, decisiones de diseño de las bicicletas y detalles técnicos como el desarrollo de los manillares, que ya empiezan a tomar forma.Un episodio cargado de información, contexto y ciclismo real contado por quienes lo viven de cerca. Si te gusta el MTB, las grandes carreras y conocer lo que no se ve desde fuera, este episodio es para ti.

Slovenská cyklistika má nový klenot, ktorý nielenže láme rekordy na tratiach, ale svojou bezprostrednosťou si podmanila aj svet športových fanúšikov. Hosťom najnovšieho vydania podcastu suSPEAK s moderátorskou dvojicou Marek Marušiak a Rasťo Konečný bola aktuálne najlepšia slovenská MTB pretekárka v disciplíne enduro Simona Kuchyňková.Mladá jazdkyňa, ktorá len nedávno získala prestížny kontrakt s Red Bullom, v rozhovore poodhalila zákulisie športu, v ktorom rozhodujú stotiny sekundy a kde strach nemá miesto. Hoci sa dnes rúti dolu kopcami na dvoch kolesách, jej športové korene siahajú k ľadu a mantinelom.Práve hokejové začiatky boli jednou z kľúčových tém debaty, v ktorej Simona Kuchyňková s úsmevom priznala, že na korčuliach bola skôr technickým typom než ostrostrelcom. „Ja som to nevedela, nemala som silu vystreliť. Bola som strašne krivá, ale mala som rýchlosť a vedela som tvoriť šance,” spomína na časy v hokejovom výstroji.Táto komplexnosť a dravosť jej zostali dodnes, hoci hokejku vymenila za riadidlá. Prechod k cyklistike bol prirodzeným vyústením rodinného nastavenia, no cesta na vrchol enduro scény si vyžiadala obrovskú dávku odvahy a odolnosti voči bolesti.V podcaste sa dozviete aj to, aké náročné je udržať koncentráciu počas vyčerpávajúcich pretekov, keď svaly vypovedajú službu. Simona Kuchyňková detailne opísala fenomén známy ako „arm pump”, kedy predlaktia pod náporom vibrácií a neustáleho brzdenia doslova skamenejú.„My brzdíme jedným prstom. A dostala som sa do takého štádia, kedy som už musela brzdiť obidvomi aj tromi prstami. Už mi to bolo úplne jedno a myslela som si, že toto je môj koniec,” opísala dramatické momenty z majstrovstiev sveta.Napriek extrémnemu riziku však pre ňu adrenalín zostáva drogou, bez ktorej si svoj život nevie predstaviť.Ešte silnejším momentom rozhovoru je Simonina osobná skúsenosť so zdravotnými komplikáciami, ktoré mohli predčasne ukončiť nielen jej kariéru, ale aj život. Diagnóza aneuryzmy v mozgu a následná operácia jej od základov zmenili pohľad na svet. Hoci jej lekári odporúčali nájsť si iný šport, Simona Kuchyňková sa nevzdala a s odstupom času túto skúsenosť vníma ako niečo, čo ju nesmierne posilnilo.„Vždy sa snažím užívať si život čo najviac, lebo stačí jedna sekunda a je to out,” hovorí úprimne o svojom novom prístupe k pretekaniu aj každodennosti.Tento rozhovor v rámci podcastu suSPEAK nie je len o bicykloch a hokeji. Je to príbeh o nezlomnej vôli, radosti zo života a o tom, ako chutí šampanské vypité priamo z cyklistickej tretry. Ak chcete vedieť, prečo sa Simona Kuchyňková nebojí medveďov, ale prekvapil ju jeleň, alebo ako dokázala vyhrať Svetový pohár o jedinú desatinu sekundy, nenechajte si ujsť celú epizódu. Je to jazda, pri ktorej nebudete chcieť brzdiť.

We dug into the data to find out. After a 20-minute head-to-head test between a modern aero setup and a classic steel bike, the results were staggering: The aero setup was 30% more efficient, requiring just 221 watts to outpace a rider pushing 288 watts. In this episode, the Velo tech team breaks down the physics of why "Weight Weenie" upgrades fail where aerodynamics succeed, and how you can find these same "free" watts on your next ride. Also in this episode: The Vingegaard Incident: A deep dive into Jonas Vingegaard's recent crash in Spain involving a "stalker" fan and the reality of pro/fan interactions on open roads. Gravel Suspension Shootout: Is the Lauf leaf-spring fork actually better than the Cane Creek Invert? We answer listener Q&A about upgrading the Salsa Cutthroat. The Leadville Ban: The crew debates LifeTime's decision to ban drop bars at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB. Tech Hot Takes: A defense of the critical take on Pinarello's new Grevil MX mountain bike conversion. Pro Encounters: Lisa and Levy share their own awkward moments with pros in Girona and F1 drivers.

Why do MTB skills feel amazing right after a clinic… and then “disappear”? In this episode, I break down what's really happening inside your brain (neuroscience-based, no fluff, in simple terms) when you learn mountain bike skills:Why your brain deletes new MTB skills (unless you do this)The real reason skills fade: you're stuck in Stage 1 of neuroplasticity Why confidence isn't magic, it's actually something called myelination (and it's simple to build!)Why fear blocks learning: the amygdala rule every MTB rider (and MTB skills coach) should knowYou'll learn how to move from temporary performance to trail-proof skill by understanding the 3 stages of neuroplasticity and how to train in a way that actually sticks.Real progress isn't about talent or bravery. It's about wiring the skill deep enough that it shows up when it matters. In this episode you'll find out how to do that!

Welcome back to Geek Warning! Turn up that radio and listen Suvi, Ronan, and Dave as they discuss the latest big stories in cycling tech.From why many dropbar MTBs being sold have it wrong, through to a rant about stem designs with limited adjustability, there's plenty to geek about this week.Members of Escape Collective also get Ask a Wrench, where Zach Edwards (Boulder Grupetto) and Dave Rome answer a number of technical questions.Happy bike nerding!Time stamps: 2:08 - Our first Velofollies6:00 - Why many dropbar MTBs are half-baked16:00 - A concept bike designed partly for reality25:30 - Less happy industry times29:30 - Gravaa ceases33:00 - On Dave's mind: Stems that can't be moved without cutting steerers42:00 - MADE tickets now open43:00 - Ask a Wrench with Boulder Grupetto (Members Only)44:00 - How do Hookless Max tyre pressures scale with size?51:00 - Quick connectors for hydraulic disc brakes?56:00 - Cannondale Ai offset confusion1:01:00 - Converting an old 29er MTB to dropbar

We sat down with the founder of Gravity Carolinas, Harrison Bredahl, to discuss his relatively new gravity focused race series that has been taking off here in the southeast. While maybe at the pro UCI level it is dying, us regular folks still do this type of riding day in and day out, and Gravity Carolinas provides an awesome outlet to do it. Harrison is bringing a fresh approach to the sport of MTB racing so listen in to learn more. https://www.gravitycarolinas.com/https://www.instagram.com/gravitycarolinas/

Do you actually need a damper on a gravel bike? Logan Jones-Wilkins joins the show to discuss his massive suspension shootout comparing the Cane Creek Invert, RockShox Rudy, and Fox 32 TC. We break down the winners, the losers, and where the "upside-down" tech actually makes sense. Then, we tackle the controversy of the week: The Leadville Trail 100 MTB drop-bar ban. Josh digs into the archives to see if drop bars truly offer an advantage, or if this rule change is purely aesthetic. Finally, we ask if the new Pinarello Grevil MX is a legitimate race bike or just a way to move overstock frames.

Mountain bike media has always been shaped by the riders, the bikes, and the culture around them. But right now, that landscape is changing faster than ever. Today's guest has seen that shift from the inside. Drew Rohde started his career at Decline, right at the heart of print media, before going on to found the independent mountain bike platform, Loam Wolf. In this episode, Drew and I talk about how he made that jump, what it takes to build sustainable MTB media today, and whether the rise of platforms like Meta and AI content and search puts specialist MTB media at risk. We also dig into what riders are actually asking for, how e-bikes have changed both coverage and audience expectations, and where Drew thinks bikes, and e-bikes in particular, are heading next. This is a conversation about media, bikes, business, and the future of the sport we all care about. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Drew Rohde.

Riding alone can feel surprisingly hard, especially for MTB beginners, often more so for women, but sometimes even for experienced mountain bikers. Fear, lack of focus, and constant “what if” thoughts often have a lot to do with how the brain reacts when we lose external support. This episode is especially helpful if you want practical, science-based confidence strategies. In this episode, we break down:why solo MTB rides trigger fear and overthinkinghow self-talk influences confidence and riding performancehow third-person self-talk (Illeism) can calm the nervous system (and why it works based on neuroscience) how to make solo rides safer and more effectivepractical strategies for solo ride safety and preparationYou'll learn how to:ride alone with more confidencestrategies for guided self-talk reduce fear on solo mountain bike ridesstay focused without external validationbuild trust in yourselfStart my free on-bike balance course designed specifically for mountain bikers 35+: https://roxybike.podia.com/sign-me-up For the Ladies 40+: Sign up for free MTB + Menopause Tips: https://roxybike.podia.com/menopause-tips Train your strength and coordination at home (course specifically for mountain bikers 35+): https://roxybike.podia.com/building-basics-introduction-to-strength-coordinationSupport this podcast by becoming a patron or buying me a coffee

show notes: Quick recap of last year and what's coming up: East Texas Showdown 400, had to get plucked out of the woods at night. Smashed my rear derailleur Capital City gravel race series. I won both a flatbar and a singlespeed gravel races! Then I cracked my magnesium frame. Got it replaced with a Niner aluminum frame. Why metal frames can be a better choice than carbon for gravel and MTB. Quick review of who I am and why you might like this show! How we swam 22 miles nonstop across Lake Tahoe Back to Year in review: Kai's magnesium bike is getting warrantied, but he ordered a State carbon frame to race Pro on in the meantime. We bikepacked 200 miles across the Texas Hill Country and camped on an island overnight. Waited patiently for several years and CARBON WHEELS APPEARED! But they are hookless. Why hookless are dangerous. Kai’s State Carbon frame and crazy downtube storage Amazfit T-Rex 3 vs. Garmin Fenix Stretch out purchases to strategically keep you motivated The Zen of things that just show up. How I did a self-supported gravel Ironman. Why half-ironman training year-round is probably the best fitness plan for health and longevity. High volume training is only successful if you think about how to make the different sports work for each other instead of against. Gravel bike with aerobars allows you to train Ironman level on safer roads How I came up with distances for the gravel Ironman Emily’s getting back into running for health reasons How gravel bikes are evolving just like Tri bikes did 20 years ago. How Minimalism has evolved into the Slow Movement. How to use the timing bezel on a diving watch to do training intervals. How to use the timing bezel for fueling every 15 minutes! The history of "double wristing" and it's REAL! Lot's of people do it. Why I have a great use for real analog diving watches with rotating diving timre bezels How people react and view YouTube videos differently than long form audio. What actually started WW2.

Erin started at the young age of 10 on a MTB and gravitated straight to the Big Creek Freeride area. She quickly went on to race some of the gnarliest downhill races in the country from 11 years old to now. You can find her either at the Downhill Southeast series, Monster pro downhill series, US Open, and on and on. She may have also wrenched on your bike at Fresh Bikes. Really enjoyed getting to know this racer representing GA proud! Her Sponsors:https://www.freshbikeservice.com/ https://jarrodsplacebikepark.com/https://www.profileracing.com/

Today we're joined by Kriss Kyle. Kriss found his fame in BMX and more recently has brought that style and creativity onto the mountain bike. From living in a skatepark, to jumping over a moving formula one car, Kriss has been on quite the journey. We talk about the crossover from BMX to MTB, how skills, style, and fearless thinking translate from ramps to trails. We dig into the pressure of performing, the risks of big projects, and the process behind turning wild ideas into reality. Kriss is a truly unique addition to the MTB world and it was fascinating to find out more about him. so sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Kriss Kyle.

In this episode of The Consummate Athlete Podcast, Peter and Molly answer listener questions on:  Road rides for mountain bikers - why going steady might boost your MTB performance How to increase your average speed on gravel rides  

In today's episode, we dig into one of the most powerful (and most misunderstood) features of the human brain: your built in negativity bias. You'll learn:why your brain holds onto negative experienceswhy “reality” is filtered, not objectivehow the Reticular Activating System (RAS) decides what you noticeand how mountain biking is a surprisingly effective tool for retraining your attentionIf you've ever wondered why one bad ride, one mistake, or one negative comment sticks in your mind far longer than all the good stuff combined, this episode will finally help you make sense of it and CHANGE it! You'll learn practical, science-backed tools to start training your attention today (on the trail and in daily life) so your brain becomes better at noticing possibilities, capabilities, and micro-wins instead of dangers and mistakes to build a more supportive inner environment.We explore:Baumeister et al., “Bad Is Stronger Than Good”the fast subcortical threat pathway that triggers your amygdala before you can thinkwhy positive moments fade unless you consciously reinforce themhow attention literally rewires your neural pathway Hebbian learningand why your RAS acts like a “bouncer,” filtering your world based on what you engage with✨ Patreon Bonus: Patrons get a free downloadable cheat sheet that summarizes all tools and concepts from today's episode.Join here to get it PLUS other exclusive perks: https://www.patreon.com/c/rideandinspire This episode is not sponsored.

We love Reece Wallace. Not so much because he rides bikes, but more because he pisses off large corporate entities by posting clips of himself in excavator bucket hot tubs. It's also pretty cool that he bought the wings from a plane in which the pilot was beheaded so he could use them at his homemade bike park. Another cool thing about Reece Wallace is that he worked hard to build his career as a freerider and content creator because he has a trust fund. That's actually not true He's never been a trust funder, though people sometimes think he is for some reason. Finally, we love Reece because he has a rad pilot voice, which is mandatory when you're a pilot. It was awesome having him back on. We talk about all of that, the Reece Wallace Invitational, baggy jeans, and a ton more on this...the greatest MTB show in the world...the Gnar Couch Podcast.

Click here to text DCMTBAfter a long hiatus the DCMTB squad is back and better than ever, well maybe not better, but we are back We covered a lot of ground, and even snuck in some holiday gift ideas. Does it make sense, no. Is it of the highest quality, no. But is it the best we could do, probably also no. But your mom said she loved it. So turn up the volume and let us have our way with your ears. 

Dario, Kaz, and Matt chat about the latest MTB news and reviews, and introduce the latest Field Test.

Today I'm joined by Matt Jones for a really honest and reflective conversation about what it takes to build a life around mountain biking. You may have seen his latest Red Bull video, where he jumps through two autonomous moving trucks, but I wanted to go beyond the spectacle and understand the process behind it. We talk about fear, pressure, and the uncertainty that comes with taking on ideas that don't have a clear path to the finish line. We also get into the business side of what he does: turning ideas into real ventures, balancing content creation with family life, building HELFARE, and the development of his new MTB game, MAVRIX. Including working with trail builders and bringing Rob Warner into the mix to try and capture the feel of mountain biking in gaming form. It's a conversation about creativity, risk, resilience, and doing things your own way. I hope you enjoy it. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy listening to this conversation with Matt Jones. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can see all of Matt's YouTube videos on his channel here. Find the Red Bull track gap that we discuss in this video here.
