Welcome mountain bikers! Can you believe we started on this journey with The Inside Line podcast five years ago?! When we think about how fun mountain biking is and how incredible the people in our sport are, it’s no surprise that the time flew by. Everyone at Vital would like to thank you, the listener, for joining us on this ride. Rides with friends are always more fun and without you sharing the stoke with us, there’d be no reason to tell the stories from our community. Thank you!We have a great show today with Joe Bowman of Steel City Media. Not just a man behind a video camera or social media channel, he’s pretty hand on a bike and is the reason The Union World Cup downhill team exists to help give young riders a shot at the big time. He is also the filmer behind the first Vital RAW with Adam Brayton at Schladming back in 2013!Jenson USA has been with us for five years, supporting The Inside Line and you can support them by shopping for your bikes, parts and riding gear at JensonUSA.com.

Welcome mountain bikers! It’s the last Inside Line episode of 2021, and we couldn’t be more excited to share a fun and enlightening conversation with Don Hampton of DH productions.

Don’s impact on our sport is  massive, and we're stoked to help share a bit of his story today. We hope the holidays have treated you well, and here’s to a new year.

Welcome mountain bikers. I’m really excited about today’s Inside Line podcast. Our guest started Rob Warner’s twitter account, helped logistically get the first Freecaster World Cup Downhill live streams off the ground, was the man behind Match Videozine, may be the biggest trials fan ever and was an athlete manager at Red Bull for years. This is just the tip of the iceberg when describing Aaron Lutze history in our sport. I hope you get a kick out of the stories and history with Aaron Lutze today, and maybe you’ll learn something new too.

Welcome mountain bikers! Thanks for tuning into The Inside Line podcast. Today I’m stoked to have Dustin Zeis on the show. Dustin is the reason the Boise Bike Park keeps its flow and runs so well throughout riding season. As Head of Maintenance, he's a Boise city employee blending his passion for riding bikes with building trails. In this episode, we discuss how he turned his love of getting two wheels off the ground into a full-time job. If you have a public bike park or trails system in your area, make sure you thank the people that make it run. It’s such a great time to be a mountain biker with so many places to ride.

Welcome mountain bikers. Today on the Inside Line, we have long-time friend and ripper, Evan Turpen on the show. Evan comes from Aptos, California, and grew up with the Post Office crew, racing and digging and shredding. Now, he’s set his sights on creating his own mountain bike brand, Contra, with a steel, American-made full suspension frame launching sometime next spring. We go deep into what it took to develop this bike, and a lot of this interview covers specific details of the bike itself, so if you want to see what we’re talking about, make sure you visit VitalMTB.com check it out.The Inside Line is proudly presented by Maxxis Tires. Evan uses Maxxis tires on his personal bikes, currently running an Assegai front and Aggressor rear, both in Double Down casing.

Last month, Vital MTB had the opportunity to head to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to meet with the crew from RockShox and get a first-hand look at their all-new automatic suspension system, Flight Attendant. We sat down with RockShox Brand Manager, Jon Cancellier and Rockshox Software Engineer, Joe Schoolcraft, to discuss what it took to develop Flight Attendant. We talked about why RockShox originally set out to create an automatic suspension system, how the mechanics of each Flight Attendant component functions, what factors were considered when developing the Flight Attendant algorithm, and we finally touched on where RockShox sees this new technology going in the future.  Our time in Colorado was filled with some awesome riding and provided the perfect opportunity to gain insight into what RockShox's goals were when developing Flight Attendant. We also experienced the trails and terrain that the system was tested on. Ultimately, we left with a great initial impression of how Flight Attendant can trans
