TPM Episode 450: Damon Iwanaga, Pro Mountain Biker


Listen Later

Damon Iwanaga was born to race flat track motorcycles, just like his dad. Eventually, he graduated to moto and his life path was set, he was going to turn pro and dominate the world of Supercross. That dream doesn't work out for many people and Damon eventually found himself in community college figuring out life. But a move to Tahoe and a pivot to mountain bikes sent Damon's life on a new trail. On the podcast we talk growing up with Tyler Bereman, moto, mtb, events, the cannabis connection and much more.
