Episode 139 - Watene Waenga // How to unlock healthy masculinity

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 04:42:21 GMT

This isn’t just a conversation about masculinity — it’s a reset.

In a world where men are told to “man up” and stay silent, this podcast explores what it really means to be strong. Inspired by the work of Watene Waenga and the Amend Movement, we dive into emotional resilience, healing, and the courage to face what most men avoid.

Through raw conversations and real stories, we unpack the patterns men inherit — silence, pressure, disconnection — and how to break them. This is about learning to lead yourself, build stronger relationships, and show up as a grounded, emotionally present man.

Because healthy masculinity isn’t about dominance or suppression — it’s about awareness, accountability, and connection.

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living with purpose, this is where it begins.

Episode 138 - Brendon Riley // How fighting my whole life made become the man I was meant to be

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 07:54:19 GMT

Brendon Riley is a professional bull rider and fighter whose life has been one long ride with fear, pain, and adrenaline. From the chaos of his childhood — with his dad walking out and his mum battling alcoholism — Brendon learned early what it means to fight for himself. But over time, he’s realized the real fight wasn’t against bulls or opponents… it was against his own mindset.

After years of chasing danger through skydiving, motocross, and the rodeo circuit, Brendon’s journey has become less about surviving the rush and more about mastering his inner world. He’s turned his pain into purpose — shifting from a victim of his story to the hero of it.

Now, Brendon speaks on resilience, identity, and what it truly takes to rebuild yourself from the ground up. His story is proof that no matter where you come from, you can rewrite the ending — and rise stronger than ever.

Episode 137 - Dean Lucas // transition from professional athlete to business owner - How to get out of your own way

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 04:04:53 GMT

In this episode, we dive into the raw, unfiltered journey of Dean Lucas — from life on the edge as a professional downhill mountain bike racer to navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. After a decade of competing at the highest level, Dean stepped away from the sport that shaped his identity and stepped into the unknown world of business, creativity, and personal growth.

What most people didn’t see behind the podium photos were the health struggles, mental battles, and identity clashes that came with a life lived in constant pursuit of performance. Burnout, physical setbacks, and a crumbling sense of self forced Dean to confront a deeper question: Who am I without the bike?

In this conversation, Dean opens up about:

Leaving behind a decorated athletic career and the fear of starting again.
The inner turmoil and health challenges that nearly broke him — and how they became the catalyst for change.
Building a business and creative space from scratch, with no guarantees and everything on the line.
Finding clarity, purpose, and peace on the other side of struggle.
Redefining success — not by trophies or numbers, but by impact, growth, and freedom.

Now, Dean’s mission is to help others break out of the boxes they’ve been placed in — athletes, entrepreneurs, anyone who’s ever felt lost outside their identity. This is a story about letting go, rebuilding, and discovering the power in choosing a life that’s truly yours.

If you’ve ever stood at a crossroads in your life, wondering what comes next — this episode is for you.

Episode 129 - 360 - The dark side of fame & addiction, too a new found sense of self and god

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 06:40:28 GMT

Today, I sit down with 360, a defining figure in Australian hip-hop. If you were tuned into the scene in the early 2010s, his name was impossible to miss. His album Falling & Flying wasn’t just successful—It dominated the charts and cemented his place at the forefront of the music industry.

But while his career was thriving, his personal life was crumbling.

360 has been open about his battle with codeine addiction—an addiction so severe that at one point, he was consuming up to 90 pills a day. It pushed him to the brink, nearly costing him his life. In this conversation, we go beyond the headlines. We talk about the pressure that came with fame, the mental toll of chasing success, and the dark spiral that followed.

This is an honest, raw, and powerful insight into the man behind the music, his fight to reclaim his life, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

Episode 121 - Ali Archdeacon // Knowing where your true fulfilment really lies.

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 19:30:40 GMT

In this episode of D&M's with Dean, I sit down with Ali Archdeacon, a personal development mentor based on the Gold Coast. Ali's journey is one of self-discovery and transformation. She started her career in psychology before venturing into the world of fashion, building her own successful brand. But after years of chasing that dream, Ali realized that it wasn’t where her true fulfillment lay. In a bold move, she sold the business and redirected her energy into personal development, where she now helps others unlock their potential and live more purposeful lives.

Together, we dive deep into powerful topics like discovering your life’s purpose, navigating relationships, overcoming childhood trauma, and uncovering the unconscious reasons behind your behaviors. Ali shares her insights on how to break free from old patterns and create a life of alignment and fulfillment. This is an episode you won’t want to miss, especially if you’re on your own journey of personal growth.

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 00:01:13 GMT

In this powerful episode of D&M's with DEAN, I sit down with Josh Wood and Kay Ledson to explore the profound impact a spinal cord injury can have, not just on the individual but on their loved ones as well. Josh shares his story of surviving a devastating spinal cord injury at the age of 18 while snowboarding at Mt. Buller, and how his life—and the lives of those around him—were forever changed by the accident.

Kay Ledson, a fierce advocate for those affected by spinal cord injuries, joins us to discuss her incredible journey walking across America to raise funds and awareness. Facing immense challenges, Kay completed 90% of the walk on her own, battling through a broken foot, wild dogs, lawless towns, and even walking in malls to reach her step count when the weather wouldn’t cooperate. Her story is a testament to determination, resilience, and the power of community support in the face of life-altering adversity.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about overcoming obstacles, the strength of the human spirit, and the ripple effect a serious injury has on both individuals and their closest loved ones.

Episode 114 - Lewis Huckstep // How to find your life's purpose, heal trauma/wounds and create a life of love

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 19:30:00 GMT

Lewis Huckstep is a Performance & Fulfillment Coach helping high achievers design a life on their terms by unlocking their full potential. I help you overcome mental, emotional, and strategic blocks to achieve more success, love, and fulfillment across all areas of life.

Growing up on Norfolk Island, he faced a challenging upbringing, diagnosed with Asperger’s, Autism, and ADHD, leading to poor mental health and an inability to express my true self. After playing professional rugby from 12-18, he entered the business world at 18, driven by a need to prove myself. By 22, he owned 3 gyms but was burnt out, neglecting my own mental health and inner growth.

Despite outward success, he felt unfulfilled, chasing the wrong goals and struggling to find answers. After investing in personal development, he created the Inspired Life Method, combining business skills with personal growth strategies that transformed everything.

He sold two businesses, scaled back my hours, and gained the clarity to follow my true purpose. Today, he married the woman of my dreams, living a fulfilled life, and helping others achieve the same—without the costly mistakes I made along the way.

In 2020, he shifted gears to launch the Dream Out Loud podcast, which quickly gained global recognition, ranking in the top 1%.

Meet Vanessa, an artist whose passion for creativity knows no bounds. Hailing from the picturesque Gold Coast of Australia, Vanessa has always been drawn to expressing herself through various mediums, from paint to photography, sketching to digital art.

During her time in bustling London, Vanessa sought out the beauty in the overlooked and unexpected, capturing unique elements of the city streets to weave into her art.

Episode 84 - Josh Wood // Journey from Injury to Inspiration, Healing and Helping,Turning Pain into Purpose

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 05:30:20 GMT

Discover the incredible resilience of Josh Woods in this profound video, where he candidly shares his journey of recovering from a spinal cord injury that seemed insurmountable. Josh's ordeal began with a catastrophic accident that resulted in breaking his C5, C6, C7, and T1 vertebrae. The severity of the injury was most acute at C7, which suffered a crush fracture, leading to his spinal cord being not severed but crushed, kinked, and stretched. The impact also left him with a small hole in his lower back and elbow, marking the physical scars of his harrowing experience.

In the weeks following his injury, Josh faced an excruciating level of pain, embarking on a challenging journey to manage this pain without relying on painkillers. He worked closely with his chiropractor, who meticulously tested his sensory abilities across his body, inch by inch, in a painstaking effort to reclaim his mobility and sensation.

Josh also delves into the long-term consequences of his spinal injury, including sleep disturbances and difficulties with temperature regulation, shedding light on the complexities of spinal recovery. However, amidst these challenges, he found a powerful source of healing and motivation in his son, AJ. AJ's arrival has been a cornerstone in Josh's recovery, providing not only joy but also a profound reason to push through the toughest days.

But Josh's story transcends his personal battles. He has transformed his experience into a mission to support others, becoming a motivational speaker who offers guidance, hope, and inspiration to those navigating their own difficult journeys. Through his talks, Josh shares the lessons he's learned about resilience, the importance of support, and the strength to overcome.

This video is more than a recount of a spinal cord injury; it's a narrative of determination, the love that heals, and the power of turning adversity into advocacy. Josh Woods invites you on a journey of pain, recovery, and hope, making his story a must-watch for anyone seeking light in dark times.

Episode 69 - Ben Cathro // Retiring from racing & coming back, creating high-quality content, finding love in the sport and banning skin-suits..

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 10:25:45 GMT

On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with one of Mountain Biking's favorite characters, Ben Cathro!

The Scots man started out like most racers, chasing his dream of becoming a professional World Cup racer back in 2006, with a hand full of top 20s and a few top 10s he seemed like he was well on his way to becoming a top-level rider, unfortunately though this dream never became a reality and he decided to pack it up in 2012.

After getting into coaching for some years he decided to come back as a race analyst with 'Cathro vision' this boosted his profile and made him a household name at the World Cups.

After doing this for a while he decided to make his bike return as part of the Pinkbike racing team, while doing this though he still wanted to continue to produce high-end content along the way.

With unfortunate injuries and setbacks along the way it has been no easy feat for Ben to get back into the racing scene, he has however found more love in being able to create high-quality videos full of information for the fans now.

All and all, Ben is a valuable asset to the sport and someone I really enjoy chatting with.

I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Episode 57 -Nick Dempsey // Dealing with a spinals cord injury

Sun, 28 May 2023 04:25:26 GMT

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with my second cousin Nick Dempsey, Nick is one of those people you meet and can’t help but feel his positivity rub off on you in some way.

He has the special ability of seeing the good in everything and can really make you question what you see as a negative or a positive, he is a glass half full kind of person that has made it his mission to help others in whatever way he can.

He grew up in Albury/Wodonga and lived a normal rural county life style of playing sports and learning a trade, everything seemed to be going the right direction for Nick until unfortunately on his 21st birthday he dove head first into his family pool, this resulted in C3/4 spinal injury that left Nick as a quadriplegic, since that day Nick has gone through extensive rehab and many ups and downs yet even through all this Nick still sees the world through very positive eyes and uses his story to help inspire and help others that may be struggling in some way in their life.

Even though Nick and I are second cousins this was actually the first time we have officially met.

Hope you all enjoy the chat and can take something away from it.

Side note: This podcast has an sudden ending as the camera unfortunately cut out, sorry.

Really excited to have Athletic Greens jump onboard as the newest podcast sponsor.

Episode 54 - Don't Let Good Get In The Way Of Great

Sat, 18 Mar 2023 01:08:13 GMT

A podcast I recorded as I was traveling up the east coast in my van making my way to my new home in Palm Beach.

It’s amazing to me the amount of people that message me saying “they wish they could do what I’m doing.” This always trips me out a little as I believe what I’m doing isn’t that far out of the ordinary, I’m just traveling solo through this country making new friends and catching up with old ones along the way, I think this something we should all do more of, step outside our comfort zone and really experience life to its fullest.

We never know when everything will change and how long for, so stop what you’re doing and take a big breath, think about what you want out of this life and then go into it headfirst!

Joe McDonald and Sultan Kirby: All aboard the Banter train!

This one is a little different sports team! Where usually I try delve into my guests backstories and figure out what makes them tick and how they view the world, there's none of that here today.I sit down with my housemate Sultan and one of my good friends Joe to chat about anything and everything. From things that grind our gears to semi-incriminating tales of past situations.

We don't really chat about anything in particular but we laugh pretty much the entire time and it's full of banter and high energy. These two guys are both hilarious and full of one liners, easy to chat with and seem to get along with eachother judging by the amount of crap that gets chatted on this podcast.

Overall these two boys are brilliant energy to be around and this conversation was one of the most ridiculous and enjoyable chats I've had in a long time! Hope you enjoy the laughter!

Episode 49 - Jase McAlpine AKA Gypsy Tales // Life of a Gypsy

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 00:57:13 GMT

Jase McAlpine aka the Gypsy!

Three years ago I reached out to Jase to see if I could have the opportunity to come onto his podcast “Gypsy Tales” and help my story, Jase accepted the offer and what followed was something quite life changing for myself, it showed me the reach and power my words could have on so many different people, it also showed me where my true fulfilment came from.

Can’t thank Jase enough for giving me that opportunity back then, we joked about when I would finally make the move up here that he would come and be a guest on my podcast, and guess what, we got there.

Jase is the voice behind one of the fastest growing action sports podcast in the world “Gypsy Tales” and has had on such guest as Daniel Ricciardo, Sam Hill, Dean Wilson and Jeffrey Herlings to name a few.

Jase started this whole journey as a film maker that headed to the US to film Pro Motocross at the highest level, when this didn’t work out as planned and Jase was forced to move back to Australia that’s when he put all his eggs in the basket and backed himself and the podcast.

We go over a wide range of topics from the future of the podcast and moving to Dubai to balancing your work and personal life while also filming half of everything you do.

Really enjoyed this one and hope you do too!

Episode 48 - Cooper Chapman // Finding Happiness in More Than Success

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 22:15:45 GMT

Cooper Chapman is the man, hands down!

It’s not every day you meet a person that seems to be on the exact same path as you but a few steps further ahead, that’s how it felt when I first got the opportunity to meet Cooper.

Cooper first busted onto the seen as an up an coming surfer that quickly put himself at the pointy end of competitive surfing in Australia and then around the world.

Cooper, like most athletes based so much of his identity around his craft and as a result when things didn’t start going right later in his career he became lost and looked at his entire life not going right.When he lost his ride this gave Cooper a new opportunity, instead of dwelling on it Cooper decided to start up a mental health organisation called “The Good Humans Factory” based around making mental health cool and giving everyone the tools to keep their mental health in a positive state.

All around I loved doing this podcast because I feel the things Cooper is bring to the conversation can help so many people in a vast variety of ways.

Episode 47 - Knowing Your Triggers

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 23:22:27 GMT

What are your triggers?

What sets you off on a great day filled with nothing but excitement and optimism and what sets you off and makes you wish you never even got out of bed?

I think most of us know what our triggers are, and what we will get out of them, but that’s not really the issue here, knowing what something is, is only half the battle, the second part of the battle is actually putting effort toward doing or not doing the thing you will either get a positive or negative repones out of.

That’s where it gets tricky, that’s where we stop watching ourselves and breaking down what we need to be our very best.I think a big part of this comes from our want to observe others through social media, we end up knowing more about our friends, family, colleagues, athletes, actors, and even complete strangers than we know about ourselves, and this leaves us with no direction to what we truly want and leaves us in comparison based mindset that ultimately robs us of our happiness.

I find the best way to get around this is to really check in with yourself and even view yourself in the third person to understand better what drives your “WHY” and what your intention is in any given situation.

Understand yourself first before you try and start understanding the rest of the world.

Episode 46 - Baxter Maiwald // Bike's & Balance

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 03:53:23 GMT

On this episode of the podcast, I sit back down with fellow nomad and all-around legend Baxter Maiwald as we are both currently traveling up the coast in our van/bus escaping the wild weather back in Victoria.

Baxter loves riding his bike, period! The type of bike doesn’t really matter, as long as he is on two wheels you will see a smile on his face.Starting out as a racer with a very successful junior career Baxter has now moved more into the freeride media side of the industry, saying that he’s still one of the fastest downhill riders in the country with him finishing 3rd at national champs earlier this year in Tasmania.

He has shifted his focus now to fit in with what he gets the most enjoyment out of, such as trail building, video projects, photo shoots, the odd race, traveling in his bus, and hanging out with his trail dog “Gnala”.

He talks about the negatives and positives of walking his own path and the setbacks he has been facing lately.

We go in-depth with the state of trail building in Australia currently and how it needs to change.

All and all I always enjoy chatting with Baxter and hope you enjoy the convo!

Cheers!

Episode 45 - What's On The Other Side Of Anxiety?

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:25:14 GMT

How do you deal with anxiety?

It is something every single one of us has had to deal with and overcome at some point in our life’s, something that you can’t see but is always there in some way, something that can either leave us frozen in time or something we can overcome and leave behind us.

Just because it’s easy at one point doesn’t necessarily mean it’s always going to be that way, it is going to change depending on you current circumstances and might be even harder then it used to be in the past but that doesn’t mean you still can’t overcome it like you have before.

The more you can do this, the easier it gets! The conversation you have in your own head suddenly starts to sound a little bit nicer and opportunity’s seem to get a little bit closer.Over time this will compound on itself and make situation you used to dread seem like a walk in the park.

Right now I’m currently in the process of compounding those habits to quit that anxious voice that stops me from getting the most out of every opportunity I’m given.

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 22:39:19 GMT

I have been looking forward to recording this podcast for years now and have finally been able to track down Mr. Legs aka Jack Moir to his house just outside of Newcastle to record this episode, Jake Newell also jumps on to share his thoughts on starting out in World Cups, rallying cheap cars and why he is called magpie.

We go into the injuries and struggles Jack had to overcome throughout his career and how it has ultimately made him into the person he is today, a true champion.

Seeing Jack go through these struggles firsthand makes it even more impressive that he’s been able to bounce back to the level he is at today, proves if you just keep showing up every day no matter what you never know how far it can take you.

Along with all this, we also have a good laugh reminiscing about the good old days growing up racing in Australia and around the world and friends and teammates.

Episode 43 - Elias Schwaerzler // Anything is Possible

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 10:40:43 GMT

Podcasts like this are the reason I like creating them so much and continue to do so, when I am truly inspired and motivated by another human being due to their ethos and outlook on life that’s when I know I’m in the right place, doing the right things.

I only met Elias Schwarzler a couple days before recording this interview at the Scott athlete summit in Aosta Italy, straight away though we hit it off on a range of different topics and also shared a very similar outlook on life and creativity.

We both share the passion for pushing limits and stepping outside of our comfort zone, this is quite easy to understand when you see Elias has set the world record for the fastest man on a stock mountain bike, assisted by a motorcycle with a speed of 272km/h.

Elias is a person that likes to link outside the box and push what he thinks is humanly possible along the way.

Hope you enjoy the chat and I hope it motivates you to push past what you think you’re capable of.

Here are the links to some of Elias’s best videos:

Ronan has to be one of the most chilled out and easy to get along with guest I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting on the show, whether it was talking about how he grew up as a hillbilly in Ireland or how many redbull’s he drinks before his race run he always seemed to have a funny story behind it.

Episode 39 - Loic Bruni & Finn Iles // Building A Riders Union

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 16:53:32 GMT

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with two of the fastest riders in the world, Loic Bruni and Finn Iles.Both are team mates at Specialized Gravity and both are currently battling for the top spot at the UCI Downhill World Cup with them both finishing on the podium at the most recent round in Andorra.

Recently though their attention has shifted to fighting a new battle, a battle each and every rider has to face when competing, the battle?To have our voices heard on the world stage when it comes to a number of different issues such as, safe riding conditions, fair rule changes and better prize money.

All of these things we have little to no control over due mainly because of lack of communication and organization, two things Loic and Finn are trying their very best to make a thing of the past.

With rider meetings and group chats now becoming more common within the racing community due to Loic and Finn it seems like there is a real chance this can pick up the momentum it truly needs.

I hope this podcast gives you all a better idea on the reasons behind uniting all the riders to have a single voice and also the issues we would like to see addressed to grow the sport and make it the best it can be.

Episode 37 - Amaury Pierron

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 06:57:44 GMT

When it comes to all out speed on a mountain bike who is the first person that comes to mind?Would it be Sam Hill? The man that could crash and still find himself on a World Cup and World Championship podium.Maybe it’s Aaron Gwin who seemed to do the impossible more than once by winning a World Cup without a chain and winning in horrendously wet conditions while the person in second (myself) came down in much more favorable conditions.Even Danny Hart could have his name thrown in that hat, with him winning a World Championship by almost 12 seconds! He’s shown when he’s on he’s on.

I think five years ago these would have been the clear choices for all out speed, but now I think there’s a new kid on the block that is hard to look past and has made a real claim to get his name firmly cemented alongside some of the best to ever have done it, his name is Amaury Pierron.

I was lucky enough to sit down with Amaury in his home town of Brioude just a couple weeks before the first round of the UCI downhill world cup in Lourdes, France and this what he had to say.

Sat, 17 Apr 2021 10:42:52 GMT

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with the most influential person in my life, my dad, Rex Lucas.

Dads lived a pretty crazy life, from inventing saw mills and traveling all around the world to sell them to building and flying helicopters just for the fun of it.

He’s been the most giving person and also the harshest at the same time and has definitely built me into a person I can say I’m happy to be.

Love ya Dad.

Enjoy girls and guys.

Episode 24 - Dillon Mason

Dillon Mason:

So this podcast is a bit of a different one, as I was waiting at my van in Byron Bay a guy walking past noticed the work I’d done inside and started chatting about it and hit it off straight away, soon after he showed me how he had set his van very similar, that was the start of the similarities between us but not the last.I got him number and we went out seperate ways until the next day when we met back up to go diving out at the ship wreck off the main beach of Byron.After the dive we kept chatting and realised we were on very similar paths in life and almost at the exact same point, I can’t say I have ever met something and had an immediate connection like this so what else would I do.. do a podcast and share it with all of you guys.

I hope you enjoy a bit of a different one this time around.I’d love to bring more out like this on my travels, learning from new people like this is what the podcast is built around.

Episode 22 - Lee Hogan

Thu, 19 Nov 2020 06:53:50 GMT

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with Australian MX legend Lee Hogan.

Lee was a multi time time race winner and champion in both outdoors and super cross back in the early to mid 90’s racing against such riders as Chad Reed and Jay Marmont.

Unfortunately due to injury Lee had to retire from the sport of motocross while still at the pointy end, after that Lee found a new love coaching and helping the next generation of racers and has never looked back since with him continuing to set up school all around the country.

From schools to off road tours Lee is a person that constantly has a million things on the go and uses his passion and enjoyment for the sport industry to keep that alive.

Not many people stay in the sport they were so successful at once competing is over but Lee has done just that and continues to work hard to build himself and his brand up further.

Really hope you enjoy the chat!

Episode 21 - Charlie Harrison

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 20:07:34 GMT

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with one of my favourite people in the world Charlie Harrison.Charlie and myself along with rest of the world have gone through quite a different year then we’re used to, both of heading to Europe but getting our trips cut short due to the pandemic and injury.From those lows and the extra time it’s given us we’ve both used that time to educate ourselves and also view the world through a different lens and can now see the positives in everything that’s happened.

Just a little side note, I mentions a certain rider during the podcast and how from my point of view the product they’re using could be more sustainable, this is by no means a sub at the company or rider and just an example of something I have recently seen.Across the board I think we all need to be more sustainable and take better care of this earth we all love.

Thanks Chuck!

Episode 16 - Rick Boyer

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 20:20:36 GMT

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with Rick ‘Smoothies’ Boyer and go over everything from where the future of downhill racing in Australia is going to his iconic Chosen Line movie he helped create with Glen Jacob’s and also the new direction he’s decided to go in life after splitting ways with Lusty industries.

Rick has been a true founder for downhill here in Australia not only through his race wins at a national level but also with the reach he gave mountain biking through getting his Chosen Line movie onto Fuel TV over ten years ago.Rick inspired many young kids including myself to get out with friends and really just enjoy riding your bike and exploring new places along the way.

I think this is has been best continued on my the current Vanzacs who have gone the similar direction as what Rick did with riding more for fun with your friends over the traditional racing path.

Hope you enjoy the episode.

This will still be a mountain bike focused podcast but I’d also like to branch out to other people outside of the industry that I really enjoy talking with.

Ethan Stothers is a good friend of mine from Newcastle that I met through my old team mate Jack Moir.Ethan and I first made contact with each through dumb Instagram comments and then first met at the 2017 world champs in Cairns were we hit it off straight away.Ever since then every time we get together we always seem to have really good in-depth talk so I thought why not have one of those chats on the podcast.

On this episode of the podcast I sit down with two of the most well know and charismatic mechanics on the world cup circuit.They are both lucky enough to be able to wrench at a world cup level and call it a full time job.Former team members and now good friends John Hall and Aaron Pelttari along with their riders Aaron Gwin and Troy Brosnan have racked up countless wins and overalls together in recent years.With ridicules speed week in and week out and floorless consistency out of both of these rides you always wonder how much of that comes from them and how much comes from the people they have around them making sure everything is dialled.

With our sport being won and lost by the smallest of margins every little bit counts so having complete faith in your mechanic and being able to work through a race weekend more efficiently might just give you that 1% you were looking for.
Lets see what they think.
