After plenty of drama and mild discontent surrounding the first three races of the season, it was nice to have a good old-fashioned downhill race in Val di Sole. No one complained about the track being too straight or too easy. There were plenty of fresh sections and line choices. And the racing was as competitive as ever. Our main man Dak was back for his second race of the season, and his weekend was nothing short of a battle. We discuss how Dak's feeling at this stage of his recovery, as well as Jackson's ‘bouncy' riding style, Reece Wilson's 6D windshield goggles, Team Points, what to do with the Junior categories, Dak's experience going from Shimano XTR/Saint brakes to SRAM Maven's, and more. Plus, the usual race recaps.

To celebrate getting to 10 episodes of Life Don't Stop I'm joined by 2 of 3 other members of Sibling to get drunk and talk about whatever happens to come up. Unfortunately we drank so much we forgot to take a picture for the episode, but we did finish a new song at practice the next day whilst very hungover so it all levelled out eventually. This will be the last episode posted before I take a break. This is not the end, I will be back before you know it with more episodes Thanks for all the support thus far, I love you all

For the first episode of the Life Don't Stop Podcast I'm joined by my good friend and band mate Benio Baumgart. We talk about how we met, old bands, going to the gym and mental health amongst other things.
