  • Core MTB talk

    Just like Vital’s website and YouTube produce, this podcast is all about MTB and riding bikes. The people involved are about MTB culture more than themselves, so no self promotion, just interesting conversations about mountain bikes and people in the sport, industry and culture.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Have So Many Bike Companies Closed in the Last Two Years?
Q: Have the survivors learned their lessons?
There's no secret magic sauce here. It's like you got to build a product people want, and you got to find a way to make money on that product.
Max Beaupre - The Inside Line
Q: What advice do you have for kids who don't feel they're fast enough?
Don't rush it. Take your time and learn how to go fast on a dirt bike in the woods; it builds your skills for mountain biking.
The Financial State of the Bike Industry with Jeff Brines - The Inside Line
Q: What prompted you to write the post on Vital about companies shutting down?
The wealth of examples in the industry suggested a looming crisis, particularly with companies failing to turn ideas into sustainable businesses.
17 Questions - DANNY HART
Q: How do you keep things fresh coming into each race season?
I still just love riding my bike, and even after many years, it's not a job to me.
17 Questions - DANNY HART
Q: Which would you rather win, World Champs or World Cup overall?
For me, now, a World Cup overall title would be probably more important than World Champs.
