  • We sat down with mountain biking legend, Hans Rey!

    In this episode of The Ride Companion, Hans dives into the unforgettable moments of his career, reminiscing about the iconic SWATCH ad campaign and reflecting on the pivotal German TV show that changed everything. We also delve into the golden era of 90s mountain biking, where Hans competed at the first ever X-Games, the Laguna Rads crew, 37 years on GT Bikes, long-term sponsorship deals, and the epic adventures that helped define his career. Hans shares candid stories of unexpected encounters, from cruising on an ebike with a U.S. President to collaborating with icons like Tony Hawk, Matt Hoffman, and Rodney Mullen, all while navigating the complexities of the TV industry. Plus, we get his unfiltered take on the modern mountain biking scene, his thoughts on the rise of ebikes, and his insights into the current state of MTB media.

  • Bernard Kerr drops by the studio slightly unplanned so, we decided to record a podcast!
    On this episode of The Ride Companion Bernard talks about buying the BK Sport warehouse, wether DYFI is becoming the global hub of mountain biking and switching GoPro footage to hide lines. Bernard also opens up about taking a pay cut to keep the race team alive, testing jumps at Red Bull Hardline Tasmania, will skin suits make a return in 2024 and much more... (Apologies for the slight audio issue. Blame Lada for moving a cable whilst sniffing out the new studio space)
