It's been a minute since we got to do another episode, but the wait was definitely worth it as we got to sit down with the Jib Master himself, Mr. Sam King from Ride The Vibe!
After spending the day co-hosting Sam at the Area 31 training area here in Ottawa, we chatted with Sam over some pints about what he's been up to, whats on th horizon and a bit about what makes Sam such a legend!

It was a ton of fun having Sam on the show and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did recording it.

Cheers!

Join us for ep 26 as we sit down with Mitch Brown, the mastermind behind one of Canada's meanest Hard Enduro Races; Mazerunner XC. Mitch and his crew are the real deal and the work that him and his crew are putting into these events is as wild as the terrain they ride through. From dealing with Grizzlies, to hosting pros such as Trystan Hart, the Mazerunner XC crew are clearly some of the hardest working folks in the sport and we're lucky to have em. 
Check out the madness on youtube and on Insta and FB @mazerunnerxc and if you're ever out there in the Alberta wilds, definitely give this one a go!..... Enjoy.

Back in 2018 we met Andy at the Dacre, put on by Rally Connex....back then he was riding a Ducati Multistrada in places that would blow most peoples minds! 
The big bike love stuck and now Andy, along with his wife Susan, have created an off road riding school for big bikes, aptly named, Heavy Enduro.
Between teaching folks how to not die while riding their big adventure bikes in the gnar, Andy has been busy pushing limits on his highly customized Yamaha T7 on out-there adventure in the desert as well as pushing limits at various enduro...yes, that's right ENDURO events across the country!
As if that wasn't enough, there may or may not be plans for Andy to compete at this years RedBull Romaniacs on a T7!
Clearly this dudes a savage on a bike, but he is also an awesome dude and we had a blast chatting with him. 
Enjoy!
