Tyler Villopoto might have one of the most unique stories in all of action sports. You may already recognise Tyler's last name? After all, he is the younger brother to multi time motocross/supercross champion Ryan Villopoto and has himself been in and out of professional racing for many years.

During this episode Tyler talks about growing up racing motocross with older brother Ryan, being home schooled in order to pursue a professional career, injuries, witnessing huge family sacrifices and the negative side effects of professional sports.

Just five years ago Tyler rediscovered mountain biking after pulling an old Tomac out of his shed which he'd originally bought from John Tomac himself. Fast forward to the present day and Tyler is riding for Specialized Bikes and is a true mountain biker. This really is a fascinating story!
