MTB Q&A with Johnnie U

Say hey to Jake a.k.a  @BackyardShredder  and his dad Bobby! Jake and his dad started riding mountain biking back in 2017 and haven't looked back. Bit by the biking bug, Jake has excelled beyond belief. I was in awe of him when I first started my Youtube/Instagram MTB content creating. At such an early age, Jake was doing drops, tail whips, and competing in races. Since then they have moved to the "Mountain Biking Capitol of the World" Northwest Arkansas and his skills seem to be getting better! He truly is a mountain bike prodigy! Oh and his dad ain't too shabby either! HA!

Say hey to Scott Losse  @coolbathroom  ! Scott is a stand up comedian in the Pacific Northwest. I say that cuz, if you've seen his Instagram, that's kinda what he's known for. You don't really see Scott shredding or even riding his bike but he has jump to MTB Influence fame with his quick witted humor about mountain biking. He has taken his stand up to the trails, if you will, and keeps us laughing with just what he's sayin and not doing. That to me, he is a pure comedic talent! With almost 100k followers I'm not the only one that finds him hysterical! I'm probably gonna geek out on this pod! HA!

Say hey to Evan  @MinnesotaMTB_  ! I'm guessing he lives in Minnesota?! HA! I met Evan when he came on my show to chat about his experience at JT  @TheDustyDutchman  "Creator Camp" . Since then, I have been diving deep into his content and I have to say, it is incredible. The guy isn't just a great rider, he is an extremely talented videographer and editor! His riding videos aren't just POV's, they could be described as works of art! I can't wait to find out how he's hoed his craft.

Say hey to Dusty a.k.a  @Theshredacademy  . Dusty loves himself some mountain biking! So much so he decided to quit his job, live out of a car, then upgraded to a van and pursue professional MTB Racing as his "Career". He has racked up some miles on both his van and bike. He's most happiest when he's on his bike. And he wants you to enjoy the Stoke as well. His Youtube page is full of how to's and tips on becoming a better rider. He wants to help people not just get on a bike but stay on it by helping you get to the next level. He will even, for a small fee, let you send him a video of your riding and he will give you, in return, a video of what you are doing right and what you need to work on. Amazing! Who else does that?!

Say hey to Blair a.k.a  @airblair_mtb  ! This guy is a serious mountain biker in the Socal area. Some may say he is a "Legend". He won't though. HA! But he doesn't just love mountain biking, he loves bikes in general. He views them as works of art. His love for bikes has got him to spend the last 3 years putting together a huge 3 day festival celebrating bicycles. He called the Laguna Bicycle Festival. And it is going to be amazing! There's gonna be a Bike Museum, Music, Movies, Rides, Raffles, Food, Podcasts, Vendors and so much more! This is a must watch! It's gonna blow your mind!

Let's all say HEY, again, to JT a.k.a ‪@TheDustyDutchman‬ ! Also joining in tonight is Colin 1/2 of ‪@acebikemedia‬ and Evan a.k.a ‪@MinnesotaMTB_‬ ! JT had an interesting idea for MTB content creators. The idea...get a bunch of them together in one place, ride all weekend, CREATE and then let you, the viewer, decide who won! Sign me up! Evan and Colin were there as creators so I can't wait to here from them how it all went. Let's hope this is a year event! Sign me up!

Say hey to Cooper! A.k.a  @MTBCoop  This MTBer that hails from the state of Washington and is showcasing the trails out there. Oh, and he's doing in style. He is a fantastic rider who is shredding the most beautiful mountain biking scenery! It is no secret why Cooper is doing so well on the Youtubes! He's a genuinely nice person and it makes his videos so likeable. Once you sit down and watch one of his videos you'll get sucked in. I admit, I was fan boying a bit. HA!If you'd like get see some more of Cooper, you can find him here:

Say hey to Cyndi and Ed! They are the  @mtb_ferals7714  ! What an amazingly cute couple. They not only love each other dearly but they to shred together as well. And you know what they say, a couple that rides together...And to add a cherry on top, Ed works at  @SkyparkSantasVillage  . Their favorite place to share their passion for riding. It's actually where I had the pleasure of meeting and riding with them. They also love to go on group rides and sharing the "Stoke" with so many other Socal shredders! I promise you, you're gonna love this chat. They are AWESOME!

Say hey to Lily! She has one of the funniest names I've seen on IG...Trail_Farts! Hey, it got my attention. And it got me to watching here content and finding out that she's a shredder that also likes to have fun with it. She's a serious rider that is also doing good and giving back to the community. She is the Womens Chapter Lead for @Soldiersonsingletrackmtb. It is an organization that supports veterans with service related stress through mountain biking. Who wouldn't like someone who does that?! If you want to know more about here or here the organization she supports you can find her here:

If you don't know who  @AdamMock  is, well then let me tell you. He is not just an amazing MTB content creator, he's an incredible guy with a huge heart! His profession is Life Coach and his hobby is Mountain Biking. So he has created, what can only be described as, one of the funnest and most important MTB Rides out there. Ride and Shine! It's a day filled with riding at Skypark with fun MTB groups and content creators and people you just love to ride. Then mid day we all gather and shine light on mental health awareness. People sharing there stories of hope. And the story behind why he created this is reason enough to listen in on this chat.
