The Antidote to MTB "Survival Mode!" - You're Not the Rider You Think You Are! [RNL S1, Ep39]

Ride and Laugh Mountain Bike Podcast

That moment when you realize that you're not the mountain biker you thought you were... you're better! Mountain bike trails featuring jumps, drops, steeps, slabs, skinnies and more can be so intense it compels us to stay present. And in this present moment you are more than good enough. Move from 'survival mode' into confidence and flow. Flow on the bike, flow in life!

In honor of Halloween, the guys discuss what 'scares' them on the trails. Agonizing over a feature gives it more power. Learn to let it go and transmute that energy into positive momentum for your next ride and for your life! Dan & Sage also talk more about Red Bull Rampage, favorite mountain bikers, Dirt Jumpers and much more! As always, there's plenty of laughs and high vibes! Thanks for listening! We appreciate you!
