This episode gets into the real side of riding: identity, mindset, and what actually separates a rider in today’s sled culture.We talk early-season conditions and sled builds, but the core of this conversation is about growth. Riders often chase mods or compare themselves to the top names, but the truth is that your biggest advantage is who you are. We break down how to differentiate yourself, why overthinking holds people back, and why taking action and getting real seat time matters more than anything.We also reflect on our recent team rider call with Chris Burandt and the perspective he shared on progress, sacrifice, and the realities behind the scenes. His insight hit hard for a lot of riders.The Brotherhood is a big part of this episode too. The support, accountability, gym comebacks, wins, setbacks, and the personal stuff most people never see. This is the side of sledding culture that actually makes a difference.
