Chris Hinds began his year thinking it was going to be business as usual until Nukeproof Racing needed a new mechanic and he was in the right place at the right time. We chat about his time racing bikes, how he became a mechanic, how he got to wrench for Nukeproof and how he throws the dirtiest whips in Aus. 

Thanks to our supporters.

I am stoked to have them on board this year as we begin to grow at a huge rate.

I think it might actually be impossible to talk with Renee and Grant without getting inspired. It has nothing to do with their injuries or the fact that they are in a wheelchair, it is more to do with their positivity and motivation to improve other people's lives. In this episode, we talk about Push Mobility, getting wheelchair users out into the wilderness, what is a Bowhead bike, and racing at crank works. 

This is one of my favourite episodes ever so, I hope you enjoy.
