  • Presi- R2R2R

    Thank you for validating how hard the Presi Traverse is! We did it while training for R2R2R in 2022. 20 miles✅ It was by far waaay more difficult than the canyon! We also did the Pemi Loop which I’d say falls in the middle of the two. Congrats on getting down safely! New England mountains are a unique beast compared to others in the US for sure!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dirt Division E051 | Where the Water Was, Potty Talk, and Altra Olympus 275 Hilo (ft. Rob Gasbarro Outdoor 76)
Q: If you could boil down this conversation in terms of a futuristic approach, what's a major concern you have, and what's something that gives you hope?
Gasbarro is concerned that brands overlook hikers while prioritizing trail-running customers and trends. He sees promise in shoes designed for both activities, including models that adapt proven trail-running platforms with more robust construction for hiking.
The Dirt Division E051 | Where the Water Was, Potty Talk, and Altra Olympus 275 Hilo (ft. Rob Gasbarro Outdoor 76)
Q: Could you describe some of the commonalities between those pieces of footwear?
Gasbarro says many hiking shoes of that era shared a roughly 10-millimeter drop and focused on heel stability, often adapting boot-like structures into lower-cut shoes.
The Dirt Division E049 | Trail Racing Shoes, Seasons Changingft. Dakota Jones and Brianna Corremonte
Q: What role do Brianna's map and the partnerships play in making this project meaningful?
Brianna's interactive map provides context at each stop with stories and concrete actions, while partnerships with Utah Rivers Council, Grow with the Flow, and Utah Youth Environmental Solutions ensure that the activities and messaging come from local experts and communities, rather than a top-down approach.

Q: Dakota, can you give a high-level overview of the project and what you hope to achieve?
The project is a run around the Great Salt Lake designed to raise awareness and mobilize action around water scarcity, environmental health, and community impact. It will connect communities with educational story stops, partner organizations, and opportunities for the public to participate, donate, and take action.
The Dirt Division E043 | Mount to Coast M1, Strava, and E-Bikes (ft. Jared Smith, Hoka PLM)
Q: Could you give us a background on your roles and how you steer product updates at Hoka?
I've spent 10 years at Hoka, starting from a coordinator role and moving into trail-focused product leadership, overseeing updates across the trail lineup, naming, and collaboration with designers and engineers to bring new tech to market.
