Brage Vestavik, 'Trolldom' w/ Dylan Wood & Simon Stewart

Brage Vestavik just dropped one of the most savage mountain bike edits we’ve ever seen. It’s gripping and raw, with huge-consequence riding. So today, Dylan and Simon dissect it all, then ask: ‘Thor’s hammer, or a surgeon’s scalpel?’ as they compare it against Brandon Semenuk’s latest edit and debate the dramatic difference between Brage Vestavik’s jaw-dropping ‘Trolldom’ versus the precision of Brandon Semenuk’s ‘Fovereish’ series.

‘Chasing The Triple Crown’ w/ Hannah Otto

What do you do when you have a film crew that doesn't ride motos and an FKT (fastest known time) route where motos are the only option? Hannah Otto joins Simon to give us a look behind the scenes of her new film documenting her White Rim FKT, and gets into what it takes to not only ride fast in the harsh Utah desert … but also film it. Hannah opens up about obsessing over tiny details, her decision to go against the grain for her bike choice, where to stuff the ridiculous amount of energy gels, the stress of running out of water, and more.

Brandon Semenuk’s ‘Foreverish’ Series w/ Dylan Wood & Simon Stewart

When the GOAT drops a new edit, you’re damn right we’re gonna watch it, and Brandon Semenuk’s new series ‘Foreverish’ has raised the bar yet again for cinematography and riding level. But what, exactly, is the ‘Foreverish’ series? Does it represent the new direction of — and new standard for — bike media? Or is it SRAM’s tribute and farewell to Brandon after twenty years? Simon Stewart and Dylan Wood discuss these questions and what might be in store for the final chapter in the series.

'Ski Party' w/ Amie Engerbretson & Jonathan Ellsworth

Today we’re talking about a film that just celebrated its 60th anniversary. ’Ski Party’ came out on June 30, 1965; it stars a couple major actors and singers; and when we recently learned of its existence, we immediately knew who we needed to recruit to watch and discuss this movie: Amie Engerbretson.

Is ‘Ski Party’ a great movie? In some ways, Yes. Is it also a terrible movie? Maybe. But should you watch it? Definitely! And today you’re going to hear Amie and Jonathan talk about it all, including several things from the film that we need to inject into today’s ski culture.
