Summary
South African freerider, racer and all-round character Theo Erlangsen joins the podcast for one of the most honest MTB conversations yet. We dive into how Darkfest changed the direction of his career, the reality of World Cup racing, the rise of the new generation led by Jackson Goldstone, and Theo’s insights into the 2026 downhill season. From South Korea track previews to racing politics, freeride culture and plenty chaos along the way — this one covers it all.
