TPM Ep 183: Paul Basagoitia, Mountain Biker


Listen Later

Paul Basagoitia’s life has been a rollercoaster of insanity.  He powered through a dysfunctional childhood by racing his bike.  When his race career came to an abrupt halt do to lack of support at home, his bike became an escape.  Then he met Cam Zink, eventually got on a mountain bike, had overnight success, became a pro, and had a life altering injury.  We talk about it all on this heavy podcast.
