Truman Glasgow is the 2023 Park City Point2Point Pro Category Champion. Not only is he an elite mountain biker and gravel racer, he is also known for his amazing ski, sledding and motor-cross videos as seen on Instagram,  @trumanglasgow12 

Truman credits being cut from a high school baseball team as a key-driver to his focus on cycling and the importance of sharing a bunkbed with his older brother and idol, Spencer that helped shape his determined mindset. 

Just as Truman’s fitness and mental strength were coming together a few years ago, he faced another set back with a diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). A condition that causes crushing fatigue. 

Truman’s  love for chasing Strava KOM’s, keeping the training “fun” and an adopted mantra from brother,
Spencer to NEVER GIVE UP (NGU) will have you believing that he’s just getting started on how he’s going to positively impact whatever he touches.

What would it be like to race yourself? The Gibbons twins, Gabe and Oliver were in studio to talk riding hard and kindness. Their genuine compassion and care for each other from a young age has become their competitive advantage in life and on the bike.
Their mantra, “I will take my brother any day of the week” has created a connection as brothers that has driven them to new levels of training and racing confidence. 
Tune in to hear them distinguish the difference between “I Know” and “I Hope” races and what earns “I Know” confidence to be “TBY”(the best you).
The Gibbons brothers are some of the strongest high school mountain bikers in the state but it’s their minds that will D.O.S.E. your stoke.

Ashlie Hogge is one of Utah’s top high school mountain bike racers and we argue one of the coolest student-athlete minds we’ve met. We were stoked to get her in studio to talk about her back-to-back Varsity girls wins at the last Region 2 events at Soldier Hollow and Mantua.

Riding and racing bikes is part of the Hogge family DNA. The Hogge’s have a tradition of putting in “work” on the bike that builds significant confidence in Ashlie’s ability to embrace the suffer. She understands the importance of time in the pain-cave creating mental strength that comes into play at pivotal points in racing when it gets hard. “I remember the work I’ve done and know that I’ve experienced this suffer before and was able to get through it”.

Matthew Lefthand has learned to master the “pivot”. As a mental health therapist, husband, Father of two and 19,000+ mile Uber cyclist YTD (5,000+ more miles than most pro cyclists have ridden this year) he has shown that embracing change is a key ingredient to facing struggle and finding stoke.

Whether education, profession, faith or endurance running Matthew credits his ability to “pivot” as a positive coping tool that has created mental strength  in his life.

John Howard is an identical twin. He credits the motive of his 25+ year career as a mental health therapist to being raised with a brother who was largely like living with a second version of himself. Kindness, compassion and genuine concerns for someone that was literally born with him…6 minutes his junior gave him the capability a therapist needs to love, lift and sit with others in their toughest moments.
John and his wife Shelly, along with Karson and Marlene Kinikini co-founded Aspire-A Network of Mental Health Companies, Utah’s largest private employer of mental health clinicians. 

John’s insight on self-love, coping and  parenting is a DOSE of struggle & stoke everyone needs.
