Beyond The Tape Podcast Darren Mallard- Mountain BIke Journalist/Nerd

In this episode, I sat down with a long time supporter of the podcast Francis Staude. In 2017 Francis was not happy with the MTB clothing on the market and decided to begin his own brand and product. From this FRANKD was born and we chat about everything to do with the brand  from concepts, samples and ambassadors.

There is a reason that some of the best like brandon semenuk, Reece Wilson, Valli Hoel, Harriet Burbridge, Mike Ross and caroline buchanan ride them, they bloody rip. I am stoked to have them on board this year as we begin to grow at a huge rate.

In this Episode I am stoked to chat with Gordon Broome. It is pretty hard to define Gordo as he is a man of nature, was a tradie and is now heading on a new journey as a Adaptive Guide in Tassie. We chat about his life travelling, rock climbing, sky diving and how his injury changed well...... just the way he continues to explore. I hope you enjoy the episode.
