    The DEATHGRIP2 Podcast (with Brendan Fairclough & Chris Seager)

    Brendan Fairclough and Chris Seager join us in the studio to break down everything you need to know about DEATHGRIP2! During the podcast we dive into the story behind the original DEATHGRIP—how it made its way onto Netflix and became one of the most-watched pieces of mountain bike content ever. Brendan and Chris reveal how DEATHGRIP2 pushes the boundaries even further, from insane FPV drone shots to their passion for long form content. Find out how the unfortunate delay in the film's release happened, the wild ideas that brought the project to life, and what makes this sequel stand out from the original. Plus, we chat about the UK premiere tour, behind-the-scenes moments with top riders like Amaury Pierron, Jackson Goldstone, and Kaos Seagrave, and why even the credits are worth watching!

    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...   This episode's sponsors & News IEverybody needs a WORX Hydroshot and other power tools, right?
