  • Tom Isted is back in The Ride Companion studio!

    Tom Isted sits down with Olly and Davi to talk about growing up in Cornwall and transitioning from BMX to MTB. Tom talks about the huge crash during the 'Panning for Gold' edit. He discusses what it takes to actually get an invite to Red Bull Rampage, bike setup for the event and why he chose 26" wheels and why he selected Joel Anderson and Connor Macfarlane for his dig team. Tom also recounts finding and building the BFC canyon with Tyler McCaul and reflects on how his record-breaking Darkfest backflip impacted his career. He reveals what his second run at Red Bull Rampage would have looked like, breaks down the rider protest at Crankworx Rotorua, and offers his perspective on the current state of slopestyle/Crankworx. Tom wraps up by talking about his plans for 2025 and much more...

  • Theo Erlangsen is BACK, and the gloves are off...
    In this episode, Theo joins Olly and Davi to break down the leaked Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) document titled '2025 MTB Reform: Evolution of Mountain Bike Racing'. Together, they dissect how the document was leaked, explore Theo's take on the few positive suggestions, and critically examine the potential fallout. Will race teams and riders be forced out? Could a big social media following become more important than race results? Should Chris Ball and the UCI consult the athletes directly? And, what will these changes mean for the future of the sport we all love?

    The guys also discuss how tracks could be improved, what the changes imply for the future of mountain biking and the broader consequences for both athletes and fans. Plus, Theo shares stories from his latest adventures, including the Monster Girl trip to Ibiza, the Monster Backyard Battle events, Trans Madeira, and much more.

    Please share your thoughts in the comments, we want to hear your views on the current state of our sport...

  • Brendan Fairclough, Olly Wilkins and Ben Deakin sit down to preview Red Bull Rampage 2024.

    On the episode the lads talk about their previous Rampage experiences and what they've been doing since last years event. Brendan talks about his first ever Rampage, how incredibly unprepared he was and why he really chooses Olly and Deaks each year to help dig his line. Brendan also shares what he'd look for if he was a judge, why the battleship was so terrifying to ride, learning flip step downs and has he ever actually felt like he was robbed of a result. The lads also decide what they'll buy if Brendan wins, there's exclusive news on the release date of DEATHGRIP 2 and much more!

  • Former Downhill Mountain Bike World Champion Manon Carpenter joins the podcast!

Growing up in Wales, Manon reflects on her early years immersed in mountain biking, spurred on by her dad, Jason, who founded the Dragon Downhill Series. She shares memories of helping out at races and her journey from her first race to becoming a pro rider. Manon dives into her early successes, including her first national races, inspirations, landing her first sponsors, and the remarkable achievement of finishing second in her debut Elite World Cup. Manon also opens up about her decision to step away from downhill racing during the 2017 season. She candidly discusses the challenges she faced, including the evolving tracks, the pressure to perform, the balance of risk versus reward, and her personal battle with burnout. We hope you enjoy this episode and join us next week for part 2!
