Roger Vieira is in studio to share his incredible story! In this episode of The Ride Companion, Roger joins us in the studio to talk about his journey from growing up in Brazil to chasing the World Cup Downhill dream as a full on privateer.

This week's show sees Alvin, Josh, and Levy step into a parallel timeline where they have the power to create the bike of their dreams without those pesky engineering limits we have to put up with here. Impossibly good tire clearance, ultra-light aero everything, more frame storage than a steamer trunk, and gravel bike geometry that's not trying to kill you is all too much to ask for in the real world, but it's entirely possible in today's podcast. The crew also talks about riding Kona's MTB-influenced Ouroboros Carbon, the pros and cons of the new Coros Dura computer, and what should be done to the "fan" who rode alongside the race leaders at last weekend's Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes.

Kaz, Dario, and Matt come to you with the latest MTB news and observations.
There's a fine line to walk in developing a new product, especially as a new brand without an existing track record. Make something plain and in line with existing options, and you risk getting lost in the noise; go too weird and unconventional, and it can be hard to find willing early adopters.Outlier MTB took a chance with their wild-looking Void and Pendulum pedals, but they're not just different for the sake of being different — there's sound thinking behind the designs. So we sat down with Outlier founder Cam Belisle-O'Donnell to chat about where the concept came from in the first place; what their prototyping and development process looked like; the initial public reception & coming to market with something that looks so novel; some other projects they have in the works; and a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Founding Outlier & the pedals' notable features (4:36)“The Lefty of MTB pedals” (12:42)The first prototypes & early testing (19:50)Pendulum vs. Void & the tradeoffs (24:24)Manufacturing challenges & running a small company (44:54)Future Outlier products?

Mani Lettenbichler is as humble as he is hardcore. Coming from Hard Enduro where he dominated the 2023 season, going undefeated and proving he's an absolute machine on a dirt bike. But that's not the whole story. Mani's also a huge fan of mountain biking and absolutely shreds. He's raced eEDR, and is no slouch on a downhill bike. In this episode, we chat about how his moto skills transfer to MTB, what it would take for him to line up at a World Cup downhill, and why e-bikes are putting a massive smile on his face. We also dig into what it really takes to win at the top level in Hard Enduro, from brutal race days and gnarly terrain, to hydration, nutrition, and the mental side of it all. Plus, we get into what's next for a rider who genuinely loves everything two wheels. Mani is a great person to have involved in our amazing sport and he really brings the stoke and a heap of good vibes.

Roxy's Ride & Inspire RAWcast - Mountain Bike & Mindset Podcast
Are you riding more than ever, but still not seeing real progress? In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest myths in mountain biking: that riding trails automatically makes you better. Spoiler: if you're an adult mountain biker: It doesn't. And if you're only riding you might actually be reinforcing bad habits that lead to plateaus, frustration, or even crashes. Find out why in this episode! Just to make things clear though: My intention with this episode was definitely not to say that a ride without progress isn't a valid ride—it was more about raising awareness that only riding, can eventually lead to a plateau. If that plateau is your happy place—AMAZING! But if it starts to feel a bit stale, then that's the perfect moment to shake things up. That's really what I wanted to touch on in this episode and to give you hands on tools how to and WHY to do so! In this episode you'll learn: How to avoid the illusion of progress The difference between soft skills and hard skills in MTB How to actually improve hard skills One of the biggest MTB mistakes adult riders make that causes skills plateaus The key for safety, control, and lasting confidence on your mountain bike Whether you're new to the sport or have decades of trail time, this episode may shift the way you think about your own progress—and show you how to train smarter.

Colorado Kid's here to spill the beans on ditching spreadsheets for spit-takes, proving life's too short for a real job. It's all unscripted, unhinged, and unbelievable.

Does anything get easier in terms of fitting tall riders thanks to the bigger wheels?Has tire availability limited the development of 32" wheel bikes up until this point?Are any current MTB forks designed to fit 32" wheels?You hinted that you're working on a full-suspension mountain bike with 32" wheels. What are the challenges involved in designing a bike like that?Will a 36er mountain bike ever be viable in terms of tire and fork availability? There are several comments on your Instagram posts from people who are against the idea of a mountain bike with 32" wheels, seemingly because this would represent another standard.

Henry, Kaz and Dario come to you with the latest MTB news and observations.
After 10 long months of diaper blowouts and sleep deprivation, Cheef has returned from spawning his future giga-Chad son, and the Four Horsemen of the MTB Apocalypse are back to offend 90% of the MTB world while whispering sweet, honey-soaked nonsense into the ears of the remaining 10%. This week, Rampage rider and all-around dirt wizard Luke Whitlock joins the shitshow to talk about carving out unique trails, sending it at Rampage, harnessing the power of low-voltage electricity, and balancing it all with his strong Christian faith (which we definitely need more of around here, especially Rob). On a serious note, our friend Kevin Boyer—TRP Brakes' US OE Sales Manager and certified badass—was in a horrific snowboarding accident on March 7th, leaving him with no feeling or movement in his lower legs. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with his medical bills, rehab, home and vehicle modifications, and living expenses during his recovery. If you can donate, PLEASE do—it's the least we can do for a guy who's done so much for the MTB community. On a much less serious note, we discuss the deeply troubling rise of bike parks closing in favor of pickleball courts, and the possible impact this will have on JP's life as a GILF hunter. Plus, we dive into way more dumb shit, including but not limited to: country-rap fusion, BDSM uses for dropper posts, and another Baiku truth bomb from Jimmy.

The lads discuss how Jacob Gibbins' iconic photos and Brendan Fairclough's first visit helped put Madeira on the map, the behind-the-scenes madness of shooting DEATHGRIP, and what it really takes to maintain over 200km of hand-built trails across the island. John also shares what it was like hosting the EWS, the brutal reality of trail building, why other companies aren't pulling their weight when it comes to maintaining the trail network, how Brandon Semenuk managed to end John's relationship!
