    This week I sat down with Riley Aguilar, his wife Fiona, and Aleah with Mountain Marauders. Mountain Marauders is a brand new mountain bike team, featuring seven women enduro athletes. We talk about how they got this team started, and what the process has been in creating a grass roots race team, and their mission and outlook for the team. It was so great to sit down and get some of the inside information on what it takes to start a new team. They just formed in November and they are off to a great start as they have received such great and positive response from the industry. Join me as I wish them luck at Purgatory Resort, the 3rd stop of the BME National Series! Thanks Riley, Fiona, and Aleah...it was a great conversation and best of luck ! https://www.instagram.com/mountain_marauders/ https://www.instagram.com/riley_a98/ https://www.instagram.com/aleah_austin5/ https://www.instagram.com/fiona_the_bikergirl/

    This week I sat down with Stefanie MeDaniel, a pro rider for Pivot Bikes. Stef lives in the Phoenix area, where she performs a balancing act between running her family business, and still competing as a professional mountain biker. We talked about how her husband got her stared in mountain biking, at the same place as the last stop with BME. We just got back from Sunrise Resort in Arizona, where Stef took second place in a real close race with Bella.! We look forward to seeing her finish a strong season after taking some time off from racing. Thanks so much Stef!

    This week we get back to the podcast after finishing up the first stop of the 2023 BME Season. We wrapped things up at Mt. Nebo, and heading onto the next stop at Sunrise Resort in Arizona. On this podcast I spend a few minutes reflecting on the race at Nebo, and then jump into a great conversation with Cameron Joye. Cam is riding for Cannondale this year, and he seems super excited to have a ride and be competing at the highest level this year. He talks about how he came from a cross country college racing career...to the world of Enduro! We talk about what it's like riding in the So. Cal Scene...and who he likes to ride and train with. He still has his favorites...but we talk about it all...including coming back from an injury, and how tough it is tough to maintain a strong racing career. Thanks so much Cam! Shout out to Nate Hills and his #followcamfriday. This guy puts out some banger clips and seems to have the follow cam thing down! In this podcast we catch up with Nate and Cam shredding some Colorado favorites. As always...a special thanks to all our sponsors! @iamspecialized @massisbike @fox @dtswiss @rideshimano @stansnotubes @industry_nine @fsa_mtb @pocsports Vid Credit. ; Nate Hills https://www.youtube.com/@natehills9388 Music: Iso Indes

    This week we talked with Austin White, who owns USA Sport Inc...a full service media company that specializes in everything action sports. When Austin is not at home doing the super dad thing, you will find him at most of the biggest and baddest biking events and races across the nation. He seems to have an eye for getting the shots that matter, both video and still photography. This year, his focus is on working with BME and using his talents and equipment to put on a live show at Mt. Nebo...which will be a live streaming show that will highlight the races on the BME calendar, and showcase the athletes of BME and the enduro world. BME is extremely lucky to have Austin on board to produce some of the best media of the year....and we look forward to seeing what a pro media company will bring to our sport! Thanks Austin!

    This week I talked with my good friend Logan Gallagher, a super talented sports photographer. Logan brings the all necessary vibe to the BME crew as one of the lead photographers. Please get to know Logan and make sure you give him a high five when you see in on the trails this season. Last year, when he wasn't taking epic shots of all the riders...he was helping the mountain ops crew dig in and set all of the trails for some of last years best races. He is a true free spirit that bring the whole vibe to life in general...Do what you love, and have a great time doing it! Thanks Logan!! See ya soon....!

    This is what BTR is all about...unrestricted access to the best pro riders the sport of Enduro has to offer! Do not miss out when we talk with Nik about what it was like to race in the most demanding racing categories there is to offer in the MTB world. Last year Nik put down just about as many DH runs as Enduro runs. This year, he has committed to a full Enduro only schedule, and we are so happy to have Nik racing each stop of the 2023 BME season. Nik impressed us all last year, battling harsh conditions and a tough dual sport race schedule. So, what happens when a full DH racer commits to a full Enduro schedule!? He has brand new support with a set up from Fezzari Bicycles, and they are sure to put up some points.! Thank you Nik!
