#30 - The slopestyle walk out
KB, Red Dog, Lester and Chris are back and just when we thought the mountain bike world was a bit quiet, the slopestyle riders at crankworx decide to form a union and stage a walk out! Throw in some Sam Hill rumours, Whaka 100 news and the usual tangents we head off on and its a banger of an episode!

Customer Reviews
NZ’s premier MTB podcast
My go-to podcast for all the hot-takes, obscure 2000’s references and passion for the sport. For accurate information and unbiased opinions look elsewhere.
Abit if filler. Mostly killer.
Great podcast.
Intro is the best in the game. Nanthan Rennie and Sam Hill from Earthed, Mont st anne. Say no more.
Good Yarns Seem to be on the money.
Would prefer if we could here the sound of the Santacruz money truck backing up KB's driveway everytime he mentions them but you know. These boys have Lamborghini to buy.
Overall a good listen with some good kiwi dh history
