Theo Erlangsen on the Controversial Leaked UCI/WBD Document: What Does It Really Mean for MTB?

Theo Erlangsen is BACK, and the gloves are off... In this episode, Theo joins Olly and Davi to break down the leaked Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) document titled '2025 MTB Reform: Evolution of Mountain Bike Racing'. Together, they dissect how the document was leaked, explore Theo's take on the few positive suggestions, and critically examine the potential fallout. Will race teams and riders be forced out? Could a big social media following become more important than race results? Should Chris Ball and the UCI consult the athletes directly? And, what will these changes mean for the future of the sport we all love? The guys also discuss how tracks could be improved, what the changes imply for the future of mountain biking and the broader consequences for both athletes and fans. Plus, Theo shares stories from his latest adventures, including the Monster Girl trip to Ibiza, the Monster Backyard Battle events, Trans Madeira, and much more. Please share your thoughts in the comments, we want to hear your views on the current state of our sport...

Danny MacAskill joins Olly and Davi in the studio to break down his latest film project, CAMPUS. In this episode, Danny shares what it was like to have free rein to ride at the Adidas headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany. He talks about his first visits to the campus, pitching the project with stick figure drawings, figuring out how to ride on top of an Adidas city bike (and how it almost broke his ankle), meeting Bjørn Gulden, the CEO of Adidas, and landing his biggest ever flat drop. He also reveals which tricks took the most attempts and offers insights into his creative process. Danny further provides tips on how to ride trials, explains why filming on an iPhone is crucial, expresses his infectious love for eBikes, shares his biggest inspirations, talks about his favorite Adidas FiveTen shoes, answers listener questions, and much more.

Long time listener since the days of HKT, a constant companion in the ol’ ear holes since the beginning, I just love the wide range of topics that are discussed. I also connect with both Davi and Olly on so many levels. I came here for the bike talk, but stayed for the rabbit holes that I find myself in every week. Appreciate it boys, always look forward to it every week!
Great mtb pod but...

... the 35-40 min intro is the audio equivalent of yr great aunt's drapes: rando chatter like eavesdropping on coffeshop strangers. Skip to 35-40 mins deep & it's laser. The warmup attempt is appreciated but all the other topics are a bore when ya wanna hear bikes / biking / bikers.
