Today, we’re joined by the Gowaan Gals, Bex Baraona and Chloe Taylor, two of the most inspiring and down-to-earth riders in the mountain bike scene. We’ll be hearing about the ups and downs of their last couple of seasons. From the highs of race wins, to the lows of being dropped from a pro team, it’s an honest reflection on the challenges of racing. But the well trodden path is not for everyone and Bex and Chloe are proving that with their unique approach. From racing to community building, these two are all about making mountain biking fun and accessible for everyone. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with the Gowaan Gals, Bex Baraona and Chloe Taylor.

Today, we’re joined by one of the most accomplished athletes in mountain biking, Isabeau Courdurier. From dominating the Enduro World Series with multiple overall titles to overcoming incredible challenges through injury and adversity, Isabeau has firmly cemented her legacy in the sport.

We also explore the personal and professional challenges she’s faced along the way, uncovering what fuels her passion for racing and how she continues to push the boundaries of the sport. Open, honest, and inspiring, this conversation offers a rare insight into what it takes to be at the very top of the sport.

Today we’re joined by Neil Donoghue. While many now recognise Neil as a familiar face and presenter for GMBN, his journey started long before his YouTube fame. Neil was part of a group of UK riders handpicked and supported by Steve Peat through Royal Racing. In this episode, we delve into Neil’s career as a World Cup downhill racer, exploring the highs, the challenges, and what ultimately led him to step away from the race circuit. Neil opens up about rebuilding his life and career, transitioning into a respected coach and enduro racer, why the EWS didn’t quite click for him, and what eventually drew him into the ever-evolving world of YouTube. We also dive into the explosive growth of GMBN, the shifting landscape of mountain bike media, and Neil’s thoughts on topics like injury recovery, e-bike technology, and much more. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Neil Donoghue.

Today, we’re diving into an incredible story of resilience and drive with YT Mob’s own Sian A’Hern. From a total skeptic about mountain biking to racing at Nationals – and then World Cups – all within a couple of years, Sian’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing; she’s faced multiple injuries, each time coming back stronger. We explore her mental strategies, the tools she relies on to stay focused, and how she’s overcoming the feeling of getting too comfortable since achieving her dream of making it onto a factory team. Sian’s outlook on life and bikes is contagious, and there’s a lot to learn from her story. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Sian A’Hern.
