Vital do some good things for mountain biking but this podcast isn’t one of them. The level of negativity is off the charts and it’s pretty constant. Lots of problems with no answers and a couple of dudes just talking in circles. This podcast has nothing constructive to say, I hope that people who are just getting into mountain biking or considering getting into mountain biking don’t come here.
Vital and Pinkbike are doing mountain biking no favours at the moment.
Love your knowledge of the sport and racing. Really like that you include Dakota so we all can follow along with his recovery and honest opinions
One of my favorite podcasts. Bummed I can’t figure out why they are No longer able to listen or stream on Apple Podcasts???
Just like Vital’s website and YouTube produce, this podcast is all about MTB and riding bikes. The people involved are about MTB culture more than themselves, so no self promotion, just interesting conversations about mountain bikes and people in the sport, industry and culture.
I can’t download or stream on Apple Podcasts. Been that way for a month now?
