THE SNOWBOARD PROJECT We have done a lot of different episodes this fall - but not a lot on pro riders. It seems like with the travel restrictions, lack of events and premieres, it became a lot more difficult to 'do your job' as a professional snowboarding athlete.   So I checked in with two of my favorite Norweigan pros - Fridtjof Sæther Tischendorf aka Fridge and Mons Roisland who just came off a podium finish at the first major contest in ten months.     Enjoy the episode   This week's interview is brought to you by Cardiff Snowcraft,  Never Summer Industries Tow Pro Lifts and United Shapes.

We caught up with the recently retired Lucy van der Haar (née Garner) about her career. From entering the sport through riding penny farthings, to becoming World Junior Road Race Champion ... twice. From the difficult transition to elite women's racing, riding for some of the biggest teams in the world with Argos-Shimano and Wiggle High5 and finding happiness with Norwegian team Hitec Products. Her decision to retire, views on women's cycling, where she wants to ride now she's retired, being married to cyclocross superstar Lars van der Haar and loads more.

For many of us, riding bikes begins as a childhood activity, belting around the local neighbourhood, learning to wheelie and launching off gutters. But in some parts of the world, it goes beyond an after school activity. Neighbourhoods riddled with kids outdoing each other on the bike can build into pushing for national titles. These hotbeds of talented young riders develop more as the years go by, leaving a legacy behind.It turns out Yoann Barelli grew up in such a hotbed in the south of France. He started riding with his 'brother' and future world champion, Fabien Barel but the town is also home to legendary downhill racer, Nico Vouilloz. There’s much racing history in the streets there but for Yoann, a slightly different path was taken.Most listeners will know Yoann for his exuberant personality and, as it turns out, it played a large role in securing his first professional contract. But as he’s matured, his outlook on life and racing has too. Yoann shared how he got started in the sport, how the more recent events in his life and the world have shaped his career, and his thoughts on the environment.Topics discussed:Starting riding and racing in the South of FranceTaking time to travel and learn EnglishHow to be a Pro Rider video and how it actually workedThe Enduro World Series giving riders a chance at a career that wasn't there beforeFrench lines and how the EWS has evolvedCutting back the amount of racingStarting the Into the Gnar coaching businessRacing for the thrillFinding ways to progress as a pro-level riderInjuries and their impact on racingCleaning up the environmentBecoming carbon neutralLinks mentioned in this episode:How to be a Pro Rider by Yoann BarelliBarelli Concepts / Into The GnarSam Hill in ChileRideguard – mudguards made from recycled plasticYoann’s InstagramThe NSMB Podcast: Obsessed with Mountain Biking is available on all of your favourite podcast apps:Apple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherOvercastGoogle Podcasts

We caught up with charismatic former pro rider, team manager, top coach and founder of the innovative SpatzWear - Tom Barras.

He set up a successful coaching career working with athletes such as Tom Pidcock, as well as launching Spatzwear. We discuss his unique approach to solving issues to produce their brilliant range of products. We talk about all this, racing in the Bahamas and loads more. Have a listen today.

As Yoann announced he will take a year away from racing to start his coaching business I thought what better time to get him on for a chat, he discusses the reasons behind his decision also how he became a pro and his thoughts on the sport currently and what he would like to improve. Sorry but both mine and Yoanns internet connections weren't the best for this one but have edited it together and I hope you can still enjoy it!

In 2017 Jacob Hennessy burst onto the world cycling scene with a spectacular win at Ghent-Wevelgem (U23). His journey to winning that race is utterly remarkable and his rollercoaster journey as a pro since then just highlights what a mad world pro-cycling is for those of us on the outside. Facing crossroads in his career on a couple of occasions, Jacob still has ambitions and the belief that he can be successful on the biggest stage. For a man of just 23 years old, he has seen and experienced a lot more than most his age and we look forward to following his journey from here. Compelling listen this one, we enjoyed it a lot.

In part one of his episode Nigel Page leads us through his road from BMX racing as a kid and teenager to working in a council office and chasing the UK club and Rave scene, to finally becoming a pro rider in his mid twenties and some of the adventures of traveling the DH World Cup circuit in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Joe Nation shares his story on his tough and unique road to go from doing clinical drug trials in order to finance his racing and sleeping in bushes around Europe racing World Cup downhill races to now finally becoming a professional rider on the World Enduro circuit.
