Oh boy did I blow the introduction on this one! I totally spaced out and didn't acknowledge Chris and just went into some script that I had wrote out prior to the podcast, another thing I never do. I was nervous as Rick and the Sea Otter Classic have been a huge part of my career in the bike industry and just very excited to get him on the podcast. Anyway after a rocky start we really got into a great conversation with Rick. He has accomplished so much in his career in the bike industry and i...
Like so many of us, bikes became our passion at a very young age. As a kid it is your first experience of freedom. The wind in your face and your only limits were how far your body could propel you.

For a young Laurent Freiden living in Luxembourg, it was a 1993 Mountain Bike World Cup...
BMX has been very good to Ezequiel.

He is the founder of the brand One Place World, they make hammocks and lifestyle apparel, including a line featurin...
