Fast forward to today two and a half years later and they are regularly being featured on one of the biggest mtb YouTube channels (Berm Peak) and have a bigger lineup than before. On today's episode we'll chat with Charlie again and catch up on what's changed. ►Featured Links http://bit.ly/3birGwd ::: Berd Spo...

I ran into Eric Porter and Sea Otter and we started having such a good conversation I asked him if he'd rather just get on the show and chat with us all. So here it is!

He's been a professional mountain biker for a long time so he definitely has a lot of useful knowledge that he shares as well as some pretty epic adventures he takes the family on. ►Featured Links...

Brendan is making more than just content. He's essentially an inventor with a social media presence. His content has primarily been short form content that most of the time revolves around him 3d printing something bike related and making some sort of funny skit out of it. One of his most popular ones were a set of Lego pedals that he made which ultimately got shared by PinkBike. His stuff is super entertaining and he's now starting to create longer form content on YouTube. This will be a fun ep...

A long time ago I bought a gravel bike because I didn't want to be a roadie. The idea of riding gravel and being able to use it as a road bike when needed appealed to me. Years later and thousands of miles I've found out that I ride more road than gravel but still like having that as and option. When I saw this "all road" bike that has a more road specific geo that blurs the lines into gravel for when you need to get on some dirt it really spoke to me. On this episode we'll chat with the founder...

74 episodes ago we had Steve from Hardtail Party on the B1KER Bar and wow how time has flown by. If you aren't familiar with his YouTube channel he primarily does content on hardtails. At first glance, one could wonder, "How could there be enough hardtail content to support a channel dedicated to it?" At 56k subscribers obviosly we'd got it figured out. Steve is not only a mecca of hardtail knowledge but an all around bike nerd with tons of usual information. Every conversation with Steve is alw...

Before walking by their booth at Sedona last year I never heard of EXT Racing...ever. Apparently that's the case for a lot of people. The big names in suspension are very well known and come on the bikes as they are built from the factory. Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they aren't awesome. I will say I've been riding an EXT coil on my Bronson for a few months now and it's completely changed my mind on what kind of suspension I want on all of my mountain bikes. I'm really ex...

When the tubeless tire craze started out there may have been other brands that did it in the past however Stan's was the only name I knew. It was the only name my friends knew. It was the gold standard for tubeless tires. Just like other new technologies there were all kinds of people that had a list of reasons why tubeless tires just weren't worth the extra hassle. However, as we all know now, it's a must have on a modern bike. Every once in a while I'll rip a sidewall and have to put a tube in...
