Gnar Gnomies MTB Podcast

Well Gnar Gnation you know the Gnomies have been getting gravel curious so what better guest to have up next then one of the hottest gravel shops (and xc they carry Allied bikes) and ahem road bikes... in the Southeast, Whitetail! The Gnar Gnome randomly walked into the shop, met Shaune, and just hit it off. They knew a pod would have to ensue. They discuss the shops history and unique branding and experience model, the rad town of Milton, Shaune's personal unique story, his love of overlanding/Land Rover's, nice bikes, coffee, beer and much more. So grab you a fresh Americano and kick back to listen to this rad episode! https://whitetailbicycles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetailbikes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetailcoffeecomilton/https://www.instagram.com/whitetailcoffeeco/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail.overland/

Kris reached out to me awhile back as a fan of the podcast and wanted to ride together. I am glad I took him up on it because I made a good friend, riding buddy and learned a new way to ride my local trail. Really enjoyed have Kris on this podcast because we can both relate a lot to where each other are at in life, family, work, etc. and this episode takes turns in a lot of different directions. I think most dad mountain bikers will really be able to relate and enjoy this one.https://www.instagram.com/foobark/www.resumeforge.coach 

David Chaney who you might remember from Martha's Coffee and past Gnar Gnomies episodes is back with his latest venture Trail Scouts MTB. This new organization is bringing families together by sharing time on the trail. Something I particularly find interesting being a Dad of two. We discuss how too much of sport is all about competition and race and few orgs are designed to get kids and family into adventure. This is a pure play on experience and you will have to listen in to learn more on how he is uniquely bringing this to market.

The Gnar Gnomie and Brad Hedges are off to Jarrods Place for some birthday laps and to meet some other gnomies out there. We get to know Brad better after riding with him at Raccoon Mtn through the MTB Brethren a few months back, and now for the downhill which is his favorite. We also learn about all his different gnarly passions and more specifically bringing surfing to Atlanta! Also throw in a quick review of the Santa Cruz Bullet I tried out a little while back. Enjoy those park vibes on this one! FYI the audio sucks in the beginning sorry but gets way better the longer it goes on I promise! P.S. We found out Gnargnomies5 still works for 5 dollars off your park pass if you pre book on line!!!!

Thanks to Fresh Bikes our sponsor, the Gnar Gnome was able to test out the new Pivot Shuttle AM and Bonnell ebikes. Listen in to learn about the stark differences between these two very different ebikes and what we did and did not like about them. We also just do a general catch up with MTB Lawyer and the Gnar Gnomes latest rides and happenings. Enjoy!

We sat down with the founder of Gravity Carolinas, Harrison Bredahl, to discuss his relatively new gravity focused race series that has been taking off here in the southeast. While maybe at the pro UCI level it is dying, us regular folks still do this type of riding day in and day out, and Gravity Carolinas provides an awesome outlet to do it. Harrison is bringing a fresh approach to the sport of MTB racing so listen in to learn more. https://www.gravitycarolinas.com/https://www.instagram.com/gravitycarolinas/

Been dying to get Josh on the podcast for awhile now and the stars finally aligned at the new year. He has an interesting story starting out in fitness, then becoming a professional firefighter, to then moving to the mountains to start a mountain bike shop. Not only that but he picked in my opinion one of the best places to ride mountain bikes in GA ,and maybe even the southeast, the Aska Trail System in Blue Ridge. We get into his personal story more in this podcast and then round it out with the new shop talk and their (Mulberry Gap Style) outpost.

Erin started at the young age of 10 on a MTB and gravitated straight to the Big Creek Freeride area. She quickly went on to race some of the gnarliest downhill races in the country from 11 years old to now. You can find her either at the Downhill Southeast series, Monster pro downhill series, US Open, and on and on. She may have also wrenched on your bike at Fresh Bikes. Really enjoyed getting to know this racer representing GA proud! Her Sponsors:https://www.freshbikeservice.com/ https://jarrodsplacebikepark.com/https://www.profileracing.com/

We were super pumped to get Ross Monckton an Atlanta area MTB legend and the founder of Shred It You're On! a new mtb jersey company that provides a clean seamless way to gopro without looking like a total Joey! It was fun learning about Ross's history in not just mountain biking but all aspects of actions sports. He charges on a bike and was really cool to work along side him at the Quick Six!

We are excited to look back on what was an epic weekend of MTB. The Quick 6 Fest and mini enduro race delivered as always. People always say it is the biggest MTB party in the woods and they are right. From the race itself, vendor booths, live music, food trucks, shenanigans stage, jump jam, and on and on the event was epic! We also had to hear about Alex's second training ride at Coldwater and what is going on with him. Hope your ears enjoy this one Gnar Gnation!

If you were like me you probably originally thought his name was Tony, from his hysterical content on social media spoofing Rowdy Flow and all the hoodlums getting gnarly off jumps. But Tony Flow Rowdy is actually Zach Mays who works at Jarrod's Place and one of the longest standing employees there. So dedicated he bought a cabin and some land right near the park. From shuttle driving, to trail building, to artwork Zach has touched many things at the park and always around for some stoke. We discuss his personal life, life at the park, his healthy lifestyle, unique/infamous van, and so much more. Come with us as you get some behind the scenes coverage of this rad dude and amazing place! https://www.instagram.com/zroc.78/https://www.instagram.com/tonyflowrowdy/Thanks to our sponsors Fresh Bikes and sktchymtb.com!
