GMBN Presents The Mountain Bike Podcast

Rich Payne and Fergus Ryan are back in the Dirt Shed, and they've got a bone to pick with Owen Coutts from GMBN Tech! We dive deep into Owen's controversial take that riders should slow down rather than rely on body armour and full-face helmets. Plus, we've got the latest mountain bike news, a crash story, an Enduro legend retiring, and a fresh round of Hacks & Bodges.

Welcome back to The Dirt Shed Show! This week, Ferg and Adam dive into a hot topic: are mountain bikers letting vanity get in the way of performance and safety? We discuss everything from rear mudguards and white riding shoes to the vital importance of wearing protection like back protectors. Plus, we cover the latest MTB news, a Giveaway, and all the usuals!

This week on the Dirt Shed Show, we dive into the hidden side of MTB injuries, recovery, and the inspiring growth of adaptive riding. Martyn shares his personal injury recovery journey and the excitement around his new project, Rideable Now, as we discuss Adolf Silva's incredible progress. Plus, catch up on the news, Hacks & Bodges, and the wildest videos we liked this week!
