Glenn MacArthur grew up in a tiny village high in the French Alps, where riding bikes and exploring mountains was just part of everyday life. He's taken that foundation and built a really interesting path in mountain biking, one that doesn't follow traditional racing norms. From blind racing to setting fastest known times on crazy routes. From navigating the privateer world to landing a standout result at Epic Enduro, Glenn's approach is all about curiosity, commitment and finding what actually feels right, rather than what the sport says you should do. This is a chat about carving your own place in the MTB world, learning from the tough days, and keeping things authentic. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Glenn MacArthur. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Glenn on Instagram @glennmac_mtb and you can watch his Giro Del Monviso film here.

Send us a textThis month we're talking all about spectating MTB races — the hype, the hill climbs, the cowbells, and why cheering from the sidelines is its own kind of adrenaline rush. Whether you've never been to a race or you're already a tape-side superfan, this episode breaks down what makes race weekends so much fun.We're also joined by Jen and Nadine, who share their favorite spectating moments and why upgrading to VIP access takes the whole experience to a new level.
Season 5, episodio 12. Hoy tocaba capítulo exclusivo para mecenas, pero cuando llega una entrevista así… se mueve todo.Tras las charlas con Daniel Escaño y Rubén Espinosa seguimos en la misma línea: nutrición, fuerza, entrenamiento físico y, esta semana, el elemento que casi todos olvidan. La cabeza.Hoy nos visita uno de los grandes pioneros del mountain bike europeo. Un corredor que marcó una época en el XC internacional. Ganador de la Copa de Europa en 2001, diez años en la Selección Italiana Elite, siete podios en los Campeonatos de Italia y uno de los responsables de introducir la rueda 29 pulgadas en el mundo del racing europeo en 2011. También fue quien desarrolló el primer aro de 30 milímetros de canal para XC, un estándar que hoy usa toda la industria.Tras su etapa como atleta se convirtió en responsable técnico y desarrollador de producto en FRM y más tarde consultor para marcas que buscaban innovación real. Y ahora dirige Piraz Coaching Academy, la primera academia online dedicada en exclusiva a MTB y e-MTB, donde une metodología deportiva, técnica de pilotaje y entrenamiento mental con un objetivo: sacar la mejor versión del ciclista.En esta entrevista repasamos su trayectoria, su visión del material, el proceso de pasar de atleta a coach y entramos a fondo en lo que más nos interesa. El trabajo mental aplicado al ciclismo.Cómo gestionar la presión previa a una carrera. Cómo reconstruir la confianza tras una caída o una mala racha. Qué errores mentales cometen la mayoría de ciclistas amateur. Cómo entrenar la cabeza cuando no se tiene mucho tiempo. Y por qué la técnica también es un entrenamiento mental.Una conversación honesta, práctica y muy útil para cualquier ciclista que quiera competir mejor, entrenar mejor o simplemente disfrutar más de la bici.Además del invitado, repasamos nuestras movidas habituales:Las Hoka nuevas de Charly, el camión de Shimano que nos ha llegado al estudio con material tope de gama, todo lo que viene en el calendario de carreras, la FarWest con sus novedades UCI, y las historias de la comunidad en Vuestras Mierdas.Cerramos con DestinoCape: ya tenemos vuelos a Sudáfrica para la Cape Epic gracias a SolJet Viajes. Doce horas de viaje, trece personas y Emirates de por medio. Se viene aventura.Si te interesa el trabajo mental, la evolución del MTB o simplemente te apetece aprender de alguien que ha estado arriba del todo y que ahora ayuda a otros a llegar, este episodio te va a gustar.Puedes seguir al invitado aquí:Instagram de Mirko Pirazzoli: https://www.instagram.com/mirkopirazzoli/Nos escuchamos dentro.

Most cyclists don't realize it, but our entire training lifestyle is basically built for longevity. Endurance & VO2 max training, weight lifting, real food, and good sleep are the same fundamentals that help you live longer and stay healthy as you age. With books like Outlive and the rise of longevity science, I finally decided to share my personal plan to live to 100 and the 8 fundamentals I'm going to use to get there. This video is the first in a full series on Longevity & Health for cyclists and non-cyclists alike. No hacks. No supplement stacks. No billionaire biohacks. Just the fundamentals science keeps pointing to again and again. You'll Learn: 1. Exercise: The #1 lever for healthspan: aerobic base, strength, muscle mass, and durability 2. Nutrition: Real food, protein, plants, hydration, and sustainable habits 3. Sleep 4. Stress Management: Daily habits that keep the nervous system calm 5. Relationships: Backed by the 80-year Harvard Study as a top predictor of long-term health. 6. Purpose & Mission 7. Safety: Smarter riding choices (more gravel/MTB, less traffic), and stepping away from high-risk environments 8. Blood Testing: FTP testing for your health: measure, benchmark, track trends, adjust early. If you want to live well, ride long, and build the longest streak of your life… you're in the right place.

Esta semana el “salseo” de la industria ha estado protagonizado por la incertidumbre alrededor de la próxima edición de Eurobike, una feria que nos gusta y que consideramos necesaria, aunque también necesita una revisión. El no acuerdo protagonizado por ZIV - Die Fahrradindustrie y Zukunft Fahrrad, dos de los socios más importantes, y los organizadores de la feria han puesto en peligro su próxima edición. Analizamos el formato feria, la importancia de un evento del calado de Eurobike (aunque no se celebre en el mejor sitio posible ¿o sí?) y todo lo que gira entorno a la que ha sido la feria más importante del sector en los últimos ¿20 años? En cuanto a las novedades de producto, hemos tenido algunas muy interesantes, sobre todo en las e-bikes urbanas (quizá algo más que urbanas) como la nueva BH Atom+ NX o la Cannondale FlyingV. También una e-bike que nos resulta muy interesante por concepto, la Focus Jarifa2, una e-MTB hardtail con horquilla de suspensión de 120 mm y un cuadro de aluminio con muchas roscas y detalles. En cuanto a los componentes, también hemos tenido noticias, ya que Campagnolo ha presentado un nuevo grupo, el Super Record X, un 1x13 electrónico para gravel; y Avinox ha dado el salto a los accesorios con su primer sistema de luces. Este episodio de La Semana ha estado patrocinado por las nuevas gafas Spiuk Nauka. Unas gafas pensadas para los que no se bajan de la bici: cómodas, con buen rollo y perfectas para tus rutas gravel, trayectos por ciudad o para cuando toca compartir anécdotas con los amigos. Ligeras, con lentes de protección UV400 y disponibles en dos colores. Échales un ojo en la página web de Spiuk.

Wir glauben daran, dass Verständnis der erste Schritt zu Veränderung ist. Deshalb testen wir an uns selbst, wie sich der Körper im Laufe des Älterwerdens anpasst und teilen unsere Erkenntnisse, um Dir mehr Klarheit, Verständnis und konkrete Werkzeuge für Dein eigenes (Mountainbike) Training zu geben. In dieser Episode bekommst Du Antworten auf folgende Fragen und praktische Ideen, die Du sofort an Dir testen kannst: Warum kann uns auf schnellen Flowtrails oder in vielen Steilkurven schwummrig und was hat das mit dem vestibulären System zu tun? Was verändert sich ab ca. 40 bei unserem Gleichgewichtssinn und warum fühlt sich Adrenalin erst cool an und nachher seltsam? Wie trainierst Du Deinen „inneren Lage-Sensor“, damit Du Dich auf dem Bike sicherer fühlst? Welche einfachen Alltagsübungen reaktivieren Dein System ohne Extra-Zeit? Wieso ist Rumpf- und Nackenstabilität bei G-Kräften so entscheidend und wie erkennst Du, ob Off-Bike-Basics fehlen, bevor Du Speed auf dem Trail erwartest? Wie gehst Du mit Angst um und wann ist Angst tatsächlich berechtigt? Wie findest Du in reizvollen Umgebungen Achtsamkeit & Pausen, statt Dich zu überfordern? Was bedeutet „neurologisch Neues“ für Dein Gehirn – und warum helfen ungewohnte Mini-Challenges, aus festen „Schienen“ auszubrechen? Willst Du diesen Podcast supporten, den wir momentan aus eigener Tasche bezahlen?Dann hast Du 3 Optionen, 2 davon sind 100% gratis
Priority Cycles may be a new brand to the full-suspension MTB world, but they've got a ton of experience building belt-drive, gearbox bikes — and now they've launched the Vanth, a remarkably affordable high-pivot Pinion gearbox-equipped Enduro bike. So, why did Priority decide to enter the full-suspension bike market now, how did they come up with the wild-looking Vanth design, and what makes the Vanth so much more affordable than most other full-suspension gearbox bikes? We dive into all that and much more with Eddie Meek of Priority and Mike Schwartz, who served as an engineering consultant on the project.RELATED LINKS:Blister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideGet Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Introducing Eddie (3:20)The Priority brand (4:38)Introducing Mike (6:34)Why a high-pivot Enduro bike?

Trail boss Duncan Ferris is on the podcast! Duncan Ferris has lived two MTB lives: from 4X racer and World Cup track builder to shaping the UK's most ridden bike park trails at BikePark Wales. In this episode, Duncan takes us from the Bristol BSX scene, to building World Cup 4X tracks like Schladming, Vigo and Villingen and finally chasing down the National Champs jersey after 20 years. We dive deep into trail building psychology, why braking bumps form where they shouldn't, why variety in a crew is essential and how riders unlock creativity on a trail. Plus Duncan shares the BikePark Wales origin story, the dream project that became Vanta with Red Bull and Laurie Greenland, wild tales of dynamite on trail builds and digging up grenades.

Roxy's Ride & Inspire RAWcast - Mountain Bike & Mindset Podcast
Why perfectionism slows progress, what's really happening in your brain and body, and how to break the loop — on and off your mountain bike. In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest hidden blockers in adult MTB learning: perfectionism. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I should be better by now,” or you get frustrated when a skill doesn't click instantly — this episode is for you. We'll explore why perfectionism isn't just about “high standards” but a protective mechanism of your brain, what happens physiologically when you tense up and over-focus on mistakes, and — most importantly — how to shift out of that loop and back into learning flow. You'll walk away with concrete, science-backed tools to calm your nervous system, rewire your brain for real progress, and finally enjoy the process — instead of chasing “perfect.”
We are excited to look back on what was an epic weekend of MTB. The Quick 6 Fest and mini enduro race delivered as always. People always say it is the biggest MTB party in the woods and they are right. From the race itself, vendor booths, live music, food trucks, shenanigans stage, jump jam, and on and on the event was epic! We also had to hear about Alex's second training ride at Coldwater and what is going on with him. Hope your ears enjoy this one Gnar Gnation!

Phil Atwill is on The Ride Companion Podcast! In this episode, Phil joins Olly and Davi to talk about his incredible career (so far), from making riding fun at Aston Hill and earning his first pay cheque as a pro, to dealing with injuries, pressure, and the infamous 2017 hardtail World Cup protest run. He talks about his long-standing relationship with Propain Bikes and how it inspired the creation of the Propain Positive Team, his move to Greece, and why he's so dedicated to growing the local MTB scene. Phil also opens up about the state of downhill racing, mental health, and balancing competition with creative projects like Flow State 2. Along the way we dive into urban downhill madness, his honest thoughts on Rampage, the “prison bus” team van, product development with sponsors, and even some strong words for British Cycling plus much more...

On this week's episode Kathryn and Kristi are joined by professional cyclist and Life Time Grand Prix athlete Paige Onweller. Shortly after the Leadville 100 MTB race, Paige was hit by a car while out on a training ride while at home in Arkansas. Not only did the crash cause Paige major physical injuries and a severe concussion, it left her struggling with the emotional toll of the trauma from the incident. Paige speaks openly about the challenges she has faced since the crash, and how her path to recovery is going so far. Anyone that knows Paige knows that she is a highly motivated laser focused on being the best athlete she can be. When that was taken away by the crash and resulting injuries, Paige refocused her attention to becoming an advocate for safety for cyclists and other vulnerable road users. She is passionate about spreading awareness around road safety, and giving a voice to those of us that use the roads for cycling, running, walking and other activities. Paige is in the process of creating resources that will provide a template and framework on how to reach out to your state representative, and she encourages all cyclists to speak out and advocate for safety on the roads.Follow Paige on Instagram @paigepowered

This week on the Women's MTB Network Podcast, we talk with Annijke Wade — adaptive mountain biker, advocate, co-founder of DirtBound, and rider/filmmaker behind Mystic Rider.In 2021, Annijke's life changed when she suffered a spinal cord injury during a downhill ride in Angel Fire, NM. Since then, she's been rewriting her story, reshaping what adaptive MTB looks like, and building real space for riders who often get excluded.She launched Camp Dirt, a program for adaptive riders who are trans, non-binary, or cis women, to connect, learn, and ride. Her film Mystic Rider showcases her in flow trails in Santa Cruz — a visual statement on riding with intention and joy.We dig deep into what it takes to build access, the creative process behind Mystic Rider, and what's next for adaptive MTB.Guest links• Instagram: @geodesicdome Instagram• DirtBound: dirtboundcycling.com (see Camp Dirt details) Your Site TitleFollow Women's MTB Network• Instagram: @womensmtbnetwork• YouTube: Women's MTB Network• Web: womensmtbnetwork.com

Struggling with fear on technical MTB trails? I certainly did! In this episode, I share my personal story of trying the “just ride scarier trails” method - whether it works for overcoming fear mountain biking, and how I finally built confidence on steeps, rocks and technical trails that once intimidated me. You'll learn why fear doesn't actually vanish through random exposure, how your adult brain wires fear and courage differently than you used to as a kid, and the proven step-by-step approach to actually build lasting confidence on the bike. If you've ever thought “maybe I'm just too fearful to mountain bike,” this episode is for you.

This week on Red Bull Just Ride, Rob & Eliot are joined by freeride MTB legend Hannah Bergemann.

Hannah also shares stories from her early career, making the switch from skiing to MTB, why she's always preferred freestyle over racing, the unconventional tactics that set her apart, and do ski skills really translate to the bike? And of course, we talk about her role in the award-winning film Anytime and what it means to push boundaries in the sport. #RedBull #JustRide The most entertaining podcast in cycling, join Rob Warner and Eliot Jackson – the most entertaining voices on two wheels to discover new and exciting disciplines and captivating stories as they delve into an array of cycling adventures.

In this brutally honest conversation Anton opens up about Martin Söderström's mentorship, Canyon signing, that first Red Bull helmet reveal and the tough years. Anton opens up about depression, losing contracts, moving back home, and how he started rebuilding with therapy, movement, a new toolbox for his mind, and finally rediscovering riding during covid. Anton also talks about being back involved in slopestyle with a healthier relationship to the bike and a new purpose as a judge. He shares what judging actually looks like (the silhouette rule), why the trick economy is like learning Excel plus much more... The Ride Companion Christmas Ride at BikePark Wales!

On this week's episode Kathryn and Kristi are joined by ultra runner and pro cyclist Maude Farrell. Maude was the winner of the 2025 Lead Challenge, which is a series of races in Leadville, CO that includes the Leadville Trail 100 MTB, the Leadville Trail 100 Run, and a handful of other races across the summer. Maude talks about the series, including the exciting close finish between her and the woman who finished in second place. Maude describes how she balances training for ultra running and cycling, as well as a full time job, and what keeps her excited about competing. Maude was last on the show in 2022, and since then her life has changed a lot. She was a close friend and roommate of Moriah Wilson who was tragically lost that year. She opens up about the devastation of the loss for the cycling community, and for her personally. Maude also describes how she has learned to live with the grief of losing such a close friend and training partner over the last three years, and what she has learned about herself in the process.Follow Maude on Instagram @maude.tmgLearn More and Register for our Feisty 40+ Strong Retreat: https://www.womensperformance.com/strongretreat Follow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/ Feisty's Lift Heavy Guide: Get your guide to lifting heavy plus a 4-week training plan at https://www.womensperformance.com/lift-heavy
Kim Beckinsale and Alina McMaster, both in their mid-50s, race with Mountain Designs Wild Women, along with their teammates Cass Kimlin and Del Lloyd, who are both over 40. The team made history last year by becoming the first all-female team to win the 450 km Legend Expedition Race along Australia's Great Ocean Road, finishing in 73:09:27 and outracing men half their age. They unpack how women-only team chemistry—less ego, more communication, and strategic towing/help—can be a superpower over multi-day, map-and-compass courses on little sleep. They also share how their training has evolved with age (fewer “flog yourself” sessions, sharper intensity, bigger recovery) and how menopause shows up (heat management, sleep shifts, mood) without slowing performance. Kim and Alina are currently at Expedition Canada 2025, getting ready to tackle a 750+ km trek–bike–paddle course starting September 25.

Roxy's Ride & Inspire RAWcast - Mountain Bike & Mindset Podcast
Last week I had the honor of giving a keynote speech at the IMBA Europe Summit in Boltaña, in the heart of the Pyrenees in Spain (a GORGEOUS riding area). In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways, how new research shows E-MTBs change riding behavior and keep more people riding longer, and why mountain biking is much more than just “send-it” culture. From inspiring projects in Nepal, Bhutan, and schools worldwide, to women like Manon Carpenter, Evelyn from Dutch Girls on Wheels, and many others leading the way — this summit left me hopeful and excited about a more inclusive future for MTB. Fact is: Trails connect us. Skills empower us. And inclusion sustains us. Here's the "Neuroscience of MTB Skills Practice" Video I talk about in this episode. Here are some of the inspiring people and links I mention in this episode - but there were SO many more uplifting connections made!

Welcome to the only MTB podcast to provide you with suspect mountain bike expertise, best enjoyed while sunning your rear, paddling your shins, or taping down your “business” for that sweet aerodynamic gain. Oh, and we have pro riders like Jerrell Webster on. On this week's episode, we chewed through three core themes at a speed only barely hampered by our collective ADHD: 1) Debating the joys of escaping from traditional team sports into the beautiful, ego-destroying mayhem of mountain biking, 2) Exposing the seedy underbelly of the MTB world's obsession with tight kits, mysterious Facebook boomers, and our own online store that only seems to accept PayPal, and 3) Taking an overdue dose of reality about diversity on bikes, featuring Jerrell Webster's quest to make Rampage less pale. We sprinkle in some shinner injuries, unsolicited scooter opinions, and just enough political Facebook comment dumpster fires to keep your brain itching all week. We recommend you "smash" play harder than Sponch's mom if you want a “podshow” that delivers the gnar, the existential dread, and all the self-deprecating humor your tender little ears can handle. Just don't expect any useful advice—unless you consider life hacks like “always ready to shred” and “never trust a man who pedals” as gospel.

Blake Samson (aka Zimblake) is on the podcast!! After nine years at GMBN, Blake opens up for the first time about what it was really like to be part of one of the world's biggest MTB YouTube channels. He takes us inside the “gold rush” early days, the reality of filming 365 videos a year, the sunshine shoots, idea sessions, thumbnail battles, and the relentless pace that nearly broke him. Blake also shares how Martin Ashton brought him into the fold, the story behind the legendary Bucket Bike, his approach to reaching audiences outside of MTB, and his surprising pick for the one bike he'd ride for life. And as one chapter ends, Blake teases the next: going all-in on his own channel with a mix of MTB, outdoor builds, Jeeps, 4x4 adventures, camping, motorbikes, fishing, and big adventures still to come.
