  • Resource Rich!

    Thank you Josh, for putting the committed, thoughtful effort into making this podcast. The information is relevant and useful. The guest stories are inspiring. I love that your podcast is not focused on racing or bike reviews but rather, maybe the athlete‘s story or the people and passion behind the brand! I am from Sheboygan, WI and it’s so good to hear from a La Crosse native and stories of the Midwest. Thanks in part to you, I will confidently pursue a new career in trail building! Thank you,... more

  • Great Pod

    Really enjoying this podcast. I only recently started listening and have been going through the old catalog and keep finding great insights. Being a pretty new mountain biker, you often don't get the story of how trails have developed over time and I have a much better appreciation for what I get to ride locally.

    Each podcast makes me wanna go explore some new part of the country.

    Keep up the great work, your passion shows and the content is unique in the space. Happy to listen to topics other... more

  • Not a podcast person but......

    I am not much of a podcast person. However, some aquiantances mentioned Josh's podcast at a BCIP Level 2 recertification class. I looked up the podcast and started listening and became pretty enamored with the interviews. I just drove from VT to Bentonville(bascially a 2 1/2 day drive) and it was fantastic to have so many episodes to listen too. They are insightful, funny and easy to listen to for long periods of time in the car. I am a huge volunteer on our local mountain bike system so find ju... more
