Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rich MacLennan | Harnessing Mental Performance, the Power of Community, and Actionable MTB Mindset Strategies
Q: How did Rich's diverse athletic background influence his approach to growth mindset in mountain biking?
His experiences across speed skating and skiing taught him that consistency, internal cues, and a process-driven mindset are crucial. This translated into coaching and product work, emphasizing incremental progress, feedback loops, and staying hungry for improvement.
Joaquin Madrid | From Chile to Squamish: Building Confidence, Community & Exploring The World’s Best Trails
Q: What makes a 'perfect ride' for you?
Riding with friends, pushing each other to improve, finishing a long day with a cold beer and a sense of accomplishment, and doing it all in stunning natural surroundings with good people.
Joaquin Madrid | From Chile to Squamish: Building Confidence, Community & Exploring The World’s Best Trails
Q: How do you approach a trail or feature you've previously crashed on?
I focus on past learning and current readiness, break the move into manageable steps, and use a calm, measured approach to reattempts. I've learned to assess terrain, adjust technique, and rely on proper bike setup and safety planning before committing.
Joaquin Madrid | From Chile to Squamish: Building Confidence, Community & Exploring The World’s Best Trails
Q: What led you to move from Chile to Australia and then to Canada, especially Squamish?
I first moved to Perth for mountain biking and later got into guiding more seriously in Chile. After a series of guiding roles and a pivot away from racing, I found opportunities in Whistler and then moved to Squamish with RideHub, drawn by the strong riding community and the unique trail landscape here.
Joaquin Madrid | From Chile to Squamish: Building Confidence, Community & Exploring The World’s Best Trails
Q: How did you get into mountain biking and how did your early experiences shape you?
I kicked off in Chile, grew up in Santiago, and started riding seriously around 16. It was race-heavy early on, which taught me toughness but also led to crashes and a period of burnout. That forced me to re-evaluate, explore rock climbing, and eventually shape a more balanced, fun-focused approach to riding.
