Don Hampton - The Inside Line Podcast

Welcome mountain bikers! It’s the last Inside Line episode of 2021, and we couldn’t be more excited to share a fun and enlightening conversation with Don Hampton of DH productions. Don is responsible for the Chain Reaction video series in the early 2000s and shedding light on the East Coast mountain biking scene through race action and freeride footage with riders like Aaron Chase, Kyle Ebbett, Jeff Lenosky and so many more. Don’s impact on our sport is  massive, and we're stoked to help share a bit of his story today. We hope the holidays have treated you well, and here’s to a new year. Enjoy the show!
