  • NZ’s premier MTB podcast

    My go-to podcast for all the hot-takes, obscure 2000’s references and passion for the sport. For accurate information and unbiased opinions look elsewhere.

  • Good As!

    KB, James Rennie and company might be more fanatical about bike racing than me, and being good mates with Cam Cole among other industry insiders I love hearing the banter among buddies that all have a long and storied history in the sport. I’ve always had a ton of respect for them as racers, and it’s awesome to have em in my ears annually while working within the industry myself. Keep the content coming amigos, would love to get back to NZ again and pay my respects in person, cheers! 🍻

  • Abit if filler. Mostly killer.

    Great podcast.

    Intro is the best in the game. Nanthan Rennie and Sam Hill from Earthed, Mont st anne. Say no more.

    Good Yarns Seem to be on the money.

    Would prefer if we could here the sound of the Santacruz money truck backing up KB's driveway everytime he mentions them but you know. These boys have Lamborghini to buy.

    Overall a good listen with some good kiwi dh history

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#66 - Behind enemy lines with Ed Masters
Q: How fucked was it when it rained? Like, that looked deadly.
Ed describes the conditions as deadly due to hardpack clay and steep gradients, which made it particularly challenging when wet.
Katy Winton - In The Hot Seat
Q: What are your strengths and weaknesses coming to the Whaka?
Katy lists her strength as being able to ride bikes downhill and her weakness as potentially going too hard too soon.
Katy Winton - In The Hot Seat
Q: What motivated you to race the Whaka?
Katy shares that she wanted to do another marathon, and training for Whaka gave her a good focus and aim.
Chris Vanderkolk - In The Hot Seat
Q: What's your one piece of advice for people thinking about entering the Fokker?
Drink as much as you can after the race because you're going to be in so much pain, and if you have even the inkling of an idea that you'd like to do it, just enter it.
#36 - Cam Cole returns!
Q: How's the adaption back into New Zealand been?
Cam shares it's been difficult adapting back into New Zealand with racing happening at odd hours and being away from mountain biking events.
