Summary
It's just Davi and Olly in the studio this week and.. it goes exactly how you'd expect. Davi has a new bike day and brings his new Marin Alcatraz dirt jump bike to work (nothing hits like a fresh hardtail), which turns into a bigger conversation about why you don't actually need the best bike to have the most fun. The lads talk about Hardline Tasmania being cancelled, the Super Bowl let down and end up debating UK geology, winter riding, and whether mountain bike culture is slowly losing its soul. We also experiment with a pair of Oakley x Meta glasses in the studio (which gets weird), talk about wether pov is the future of podcasting and answer your listener questions!
