We’re currently testing a huge array of bikes, from the super-efficient Norco Revolver, to the long-travel, Bosch CX-equipped Yeti LTe, with a whole lot in between — including the Lal Katana, with its novel Supre Drive. David and Simon sat down to sh... more

After 20+ pods I can say the topics are wide ranging & relevant, but David Golays habit of pausing every 3-5 words is maddening and he says "well, and
- uh... well, uh... I guess we'll see" so much it's unbearable. It breaks up conversation and alters what guests are saying because they think he has stopped talking… fix this & it's very good pod.
Although there have been some interesting guest interviews, this pod is turning into "motor bikes & big batteries" so it's time for me to move on. If you want to shred trails at high speed on motor bikes you might like it.

After 10-15 pods I can say the topics here are wide ranging & relevant, well done. David's habit of pausing every 3/5/10 words is maddening however. That's a petty topic but delivery matters. It breaks up the flow of conversation and even alters what guests are saying because they think he has stopped talking… fix this & it's 5-star pod.
The positives of this podcast are that it is absent of the inside-joke-bro banter of other podcasts and there are industry guests. However, the reviews and interviews lack depth and seem to regurgitate marking jargon. I question how strong of a rider David is but I give him credit for pulling notable riders onto the pod. I feel bad for saying this, because it may be a neurological issue, but the speaking patterns and pauses made by David are so distracting that I can’t listen to him. Turning up ... more
