AngryMountainBiker Show

Learning to wheelie isn't something I hear discussed much, and I know many new riders may need a few tips. Today I cover the basic movement, later we will discuss more advanced techniques for holding the wheelie.  I also get angry about backup alarms, and I promote the Scott Scudamore IMBA volunteer award.

I give a killer tip for handling technical terrain and anticipating movement on the trail, and I also rant about a guy that didn't yield the downhill. And why we may not always want to yield downhill anyway.

A common question on the internet this time of year is "What bike light should I get". I let you know my incredible important opinion on this matter.  Then I break down some bike mechanics philosophy, break down the Wee Day Out video by Danny MacAskill and the cool behind the scenes stuff it takes to do. Next, IMBA announced the Scott Scudamore National Volunteer Leadership Award.

Danny MacAskill's Wee Day Out Behind the Scenes

Learn how to set the timing on your axle and how to not collapse our hydraulic disk brakes like a noob!  As well as an update on the bike crash victim from last week, and a theory on what caused Luis' Rhabdomyelosis.  Also I talk about NICA, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association and their cool ethic about participation.

Luis had a spectacularly frightening medical event at the 18 Hours of Scout's Honor Mountain Bike Race in September. Hear the story of how he woke up confused and unable to speak or understand English in the emergency room.

I ranted about bike safety, break down an incident where a rider crashed at Fountainhead yesterday, and I also talk about why I decided to do a podcast.

Back in the studio to talk about the Rampage, the problem with bike shorts, and what you need to know about the rules of the trail, according to IMBA.  #ridewithmore #ridewithimba

Backcountry mountainbiking is no joke if you find yourself lost, with flats, and in bad weather.  Unless you've brought the things I mention, in which case, you'll be fine!
