Today, Mike joins us from Loretto, Mexico, and on his way down there, he stopped in Los Algodones to get his rotten teeth fixed in what's become known as Molar City. Mike recounts his experience with Mexico’s booming low-cost dental industry and how,... more
Hayden Zablotny showed up at Red Bull Rampage and became the first rookie to win since Brandon Semenuk did it back in 2008. Hayden’s path to the top step of the podium is a fascinating story chronicling a young, talented rider struggling to get notic... more

After 20+ pods I can say the topics are wide ranging & relevant, but David Golays habit of pausing every 3-5 words is maddening and he says "well, and
- uh... well, uh... I guess we'll see" so much it's unbearable. It breaks up conversation and alters what guests are saying because they think he has stopped talking… fix this & it's very good pod.
Although there have been some interesting guest interviews, this pod is turning into "motor bikes & big batteries" so it's time for me to move on. If you want to shred trails at high speed on motor bikes you might like it.

After 10-15 pods I can say the topics here are wide ranging & relevant, well done. David's habit of pausing every 3/5/10 words is maddening however. That's a petty topic but delivery matters. It breaks up the flow of conversation and even alters what guests are saying because they think he has stopped talking… fix this & it's 5-star pod.
