  • New Format

    The format with the listener Q&A is great. Please try to reel in the vocal fry, it can be very hard to listen with the croaking.

  • No longer a must listen

    Missing the old crew. Especially Mike Levy. The podcast used to be useful and entertaining. Now I am bored and usually only listen if Mike K is on the episode or if I have nothing else to listen to. I have abandoned many episodes half way through out of disinterest. That NEVER happened with Mike Levy. Mike K/Brian P episodes were good too, but Levy added a level of enjoyment that is sorely missing now.

  • Awful interview with the G.O.A.T

    Just listened for 15 minutes before I had to switch this off! The interview with Nino was awful and had zero energy and context.

    Why ask him about 32inch wheels ffs! Surely he deserves better questioning and some better banter! His legacy is epic! Come on PB!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Everyone's Favorite Topics: E-Bikes, Wheel Sizes, and Slopestyle
Q: What should I consider when choosing a single bike that can handle shuttling, lift days, and trail riding?
The guests suggest prioritizing a long-travel bike with mixed-wheel capability, evaluate clearance, weight, and ramp-up of power, and consider how you'll ride (shuttling vs. daily trail use) to pick a bike that balances ascending and descending performance, with attention to tyres and suspension setup.
The Future of Enduro, Trade Shows, and Mountain Bikes
Q: Is Enduro still appealing to fans, and how should it evolve to stay relevant?
The hosts suggest exploring different formats, longer events, strategic broadcasts, and maintaining a strong feeder race scene to keep the sport engaging while balancing sponsor and broadcaster needs.
Interview: Nick Lester on DH World Cups, Data Acquisition, & Mass Damper Testing
Q: Nick, can you share more about your development work with Commencal and Millie Johnson on the team, and what that involved during World Cup racing?
Nick describes his role as a mechanic and data runner for Millie and Greg Williamson on the Commencal team, detailing how data collection and rapid setup adjustments were used to prepare riders for World Cup tracks, with emphasis on speed and efficiency during events.
Interview: Nick Lester on DH World Cups, Data Acquisition, & Mass Damper Testing
Q: Using these systems, before we get into it, I wanted to give you an opportunity to speak about how you got into such a niche line of work.

Testing $1,000 Mountain Bikes in the Desert: Value Field Test Recap
