The Shin Dig Podcast

The Shin Dig Podcast is back. After some time away, MattyP and Steve (Captain Crash) sit down, press record, and just have a proper catch-up. No format, no pressure - just honest chat.

We reflect on 2025, talk about a few new-year habits, and ease our way back into the conversations that matter to us and the Trials community. This episode is about resetting, finding our rhythm again, and opening the door to what the podcast could become next.

So many of you asked for the podcast to return — this is us starting again, and building it better with every episode.

Welcome back to the Shin Dig Podcast.

We teamed up with the Bentonville Bike Fest crew to create what might just be our best podcast yet. We’re diving deep into the future of bike festivals (spoiler: it’s looking epic), and we’re not pulling any punches when we ask the big question: is Bentonville better than Sea Otter? Plus, we talk strategy on how to actually promote the sport (because posting reels everyday isn't cutting it), and we’ve got some killer stories from the absolute legends of bike trials. Oh, and did we mention some exciting video projects in the works? This episode is packed, and if you’re into bikes, festivals, or just want to hear what’s coming next, tune in. It’s gonna be a ride.
