Kilian Bron has built a life around turning dreams into reality — from racing and winning the Mountain of Hell four times to riding some of the world's most incredible and dangerous mountains. Andrew Neethling gets inside Kilian's mindset, discussing his latest film Mirage, riding at over 6,000 metres, the years of planning behind these expeditions, fear, risk, freedom and the moments when things have gone seriously wrong. An honest conversation about adventure, pushing your limits and knowing where the line is. See his latest Film: MIRAGE
World Championships delivered one of the most intense races of the season. Jackson Goldstone held his nerve to take the Elite Men's rainbow jersey after an incredible final battle with Lachlan Stevens-McNab, while Vali Höll once again delivered under huge pressure to claim the Women's title. Andrew Neethling and Sven Martin break down the racing, the crashes, Rory's insane scrub, the standout performances and the pressure of having just one run to become World Champion — plus the darker side of the huge crowds at Val di Sole. One race. One run. Two new World Champions. Episode presented by Monster Energy
Les Gets delivered one of the wildest World Cup weekends of the season. Max Alran claimed his first Elite World Cup win, Hattie Harden took the women's victory, and the weekend ended with absolute chaos as fans rushed into the finish area. Theo Erlangsen joins Andrew Neethling to break down all the biggest stories from Les Gets — the racing, standout performances, crashes, the atmosphere, and what these results mean as the World Cup season heads towards its final rounds. Another wild one from Les Gets. Episode Presented by Monster Energy
Graham Agassiz has been one of freeride mountain biking's most influential riders for nearly two decades, but this conversation goes far beyond big jumps and Rampage. Andrew Neethling sits down with Aggy to talk about the golden era of freeride films, the evolution of social media, Red Bull Rampage, founding the FEST Series, devastating injuries, losing close friends, becoming a father, and how his definition of success has changed over the years. They also dive into his upcoming film Made by Mountains, why the mountains continue to inspire him, and the lessons he's learned about fear, risk, mental health and building a meaningful life beyond competition. Whether you're a lifelong freeride fan or simply enjoy honest conversations about growth and resilience, this is one you won't want to miss.
Vero Sandler has become one of the most influential riders in women's freeride mountain biking, but her journey started on the World Cup downhill circuit. In this episode, Vero joins Andrew Neethling to talk about walking away from racing, discovering a passion for freeride, helping pioneer opportunities for women at events like DarkFest and Rampage, and why finding balance has been the key to a long and fulfilling career. The conversation also dives into fear, burnout, concussions, meditation, progression, and what the future holds for the next generation of female freeriders. Whether you're a racer, a freerider, or simply love mountain biking, this is an honest conversation about following your own path and redefining success.
Blake Samson has lived a life most riders have never heard about. Before becoming one of mountain biking's most recognisable presenters and content creators, Blake grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe before his family fled the country and started again in England with almost nothing. In this episode we dive into that incredible journey, his rise through professional freeriding, life behind the scenes at GMBN, content creation, burnout, and what it really takes to build a career in the bike industry.
Clemens "C-Dog" Kaudela joins the show to share the story behind DarkFest's biggest jumps, his engineering approach to building world-class freeride features, lessons from Rampage, and why big air mountain biking continues to evolve. It's an inside look at one of freeride's most creative minds. Sponsors: Supported by Kenda Tires EU Episode Presented by Monster Energy
Jordan Williams continued his incredible form, the level of racing reached new heights, and qualifying proved once again that simply making the finals is becoming one of the toughest challenges in mountain biking. On the women's side, Vali Höll strengthened her grip on the overall, Gracey Hemstreet bounced back with another podium, and Sasha Earnest continued her impressive rise with back-to-back podium finishes. Sven Martin joins Andrew Neethling to break down everything from Andorra, including Jordan's incredible pace, the evolution of World Cup downhill, Specialized's dominance, the brutal qualifying format, the biggest storylines from the women's race, and the behind-the-scenes insights the TV cameras never capture.
