Your mind is your most powerful mountain bike tool! In this episode of the Ride & Laugh MTB Podcast, Dan and Sage dive deep into mountain bike mindset, positive self-talk, and trusting your future self to ride with flow, confidence, and grace. 

As always, the guys mix in plenty of laughs about cooked taints, chamois cream, and the eternal MTB shoe battle of BOA vs. laces while reviewing the new Schwalbe Radial MTB tires. From the cost of mountain biking to manifesting pro-level confidence, the guys keep it real, relatable, and ridiculously funny. Whether you’re working on your MTB skills, visualizing your next feature, or just need a laugh on your drive to the trail, this episode brings stoke, wisdom, and good vibes to every rider.  

MTB Gratitude of the Week:

Dan: AJ and Vaughn - Dan’s grateful for his riding buddies, AJ & Vaughn! After a nasty crash into a rain rut, they totally came through — helping him back to the car, patching him up, and keeping the vibes positive. Nothing beats good MTB friends who’ve got your back. Thanks, guys!

Sage: Ride and Laugh Podcast - Sage is thankful for The Ride & Laugh Podcast! It keeps him connected to his best buddy, Dan, and guarantees a weekly hangout filled with awesome MTB conversations. The guys are stoked that listeners enjoy the laughs, lessons, and community that comes with every episode.

MTB Tip of the Week:

Got a tire slash but still plenty of tread? Patch it up! Just pull the tire, clean the area, stick on a tire patch, and boom — good as new. A quick, cheap fix to keep your MTB rolling strong!
