Christina Chappetta - Turning Chaos Into Something Beautiful

Aaron Dobie - How Broken Are Pro Mountain Bikers Really?

It's a side of the sport most fans never see. Between race runs, podiums, and highlight clips, many athletes are dealing with injuries, recovery plans, and the constant challenge of staying healthy enough to perform at the highest level. Today's guest is Aaron Dobie, physiotherapist, strength coach, bike fitter, elite racer, and one of the people working behind the scenes with athletes when things don't go according to plan. From the UCI World Cup circuit working across downhill, enduro, to skiing, and endurance sports, Aaron has built a career around performance, recovery, and helping athletes stay competitive when the margins are razor thin. In this episode, we dive into the reality of injuries in mountain biking, the difference between working with elite athletes and everyday riders, what actually separates the pros, and how athletes manage performance and recovery throughout a season. We also discuss concussion protocols, building the rehab team for Hardline Cypress, bike fitting, body maintenance, injury prevention, and some of the wild stories that come from life behind the scenes at World Cups and major events. Whether you're chasing podiums or just trying to ride pain-free, there's plenty to take away from this one. Reach out and get in contact with me here.

Greg Callaghan - Built on Consistency

Enduro doesn’t reward the loudest rider, it rewards the one who can repeat speed without breaking. Greg Callaghan has one of the deepest records in modern enduro mountain bike racing, with an almost unmatched run of starts and a 100 percent finish rate, and he’s built that career by making calm decisions when everyone else is hunting hero moments. We start with riding in British Columbia and how Squamish terrain changes the way you think about risk, line choice, and progression compared with Ireland and Europe. He shares why Enduro World Series racing clicked immediately, what it felt like when the first EWS start lists were packed with downhill and cross-country stars, and why he never felt the need to chase downhill glory. We also dive into running a lean race program, bike setup and suspension evolution, and using tools like electronic suspension and training metrics without overcomplicating things.

Christina Chappetta - Turning Chaos Into Something Beautiful

A hurricane, a borrowed hardtail, and a one-way shot to Whistler, this week’s episode is with Christina Chappetta, a former Enduro World Series racer who’s built her path in mountain biking the hard way. From growing up in Louisiana to discovering the mountains in Colorado, Christina shares how a mix of curiosity, injuries, and obsession led her into the sport. What started with no gear and no real plan quickly turned into full immersion, chasing seasons, living out of a tent in Whistler, and saying yes to every opportunity that came her way. We get into the realities of building a career in the bike world, from shop life to racing Enduro at a high level, and eventually stepping into media with Pinkbike before moving into storytelling with Anthill Films. There’s a lot in here about progression, setbacks, and figuring things out as you go. We also talk about creativity, coaching, and what it actually takes to make content that connects, not just with experienced riders, but with people just getting into the sport. This one’s raw, honest, and a reminder that there’s no straight line into this industry, just a willingness to commit, adapt, and keep showing up. If you’re into mountain biking, racing, or carving out your own path in the outdoor world, this one’s worth a listen. Reach out and get in contact with me here.

Joe Wakefield – The Shot You Never See

As the old saying goes, a photo can tell a thousand words, but getting it to tell the story you want is what turns it into a memory. The right shot can make you feel the size of a feature, the risk behind it, and everything happening just outside the frame. In this episode, I sit down with Joe Wakefield, a Squamish-based mountain bike photographer who moved from England to fully immerse himself in the Sea to Sky riding scene. Joe has built his career by focusing on storytelling over trends, capturing not just the riding, but the people, the atmosphere, and the moments that often go unnoticed. We get into how he got started, why he loves passion projects, and how those have opened doors over time. Joe also talks about stepping away from social media to reset creativity, and how some of his best ideas come from doing exactly that. We also dive into what it’s like being behind the lens when things get properly gnarly, the importance of trust and safety when shooting high-risk riding, and the difference between working one-on-one with riders versus shooting major events. To wrap it up, we talk about social media, printed photos vs digital, dream shoots, and why some of the most inspiring riding right now might actually be coming from places people aren’t paying enough attention to, like adaptive mountain biking. If you’re into mountain biking, photography, or just creating something meaningful without getting lost in the algorithm, this one’s worth a listen. Reach out and get in contact with me here.

The Jamieson Philosophy - Keeping It Grounded with High Stoke

What does it look like to raise five kids, support big dreams, and still keep the house calm? This week I sit down with JJ, Elliot, and Nash Jamieson for a conversation that’s less about podiums and more about parenting, perspective, and protecting the joy in sport. JJ and Trish raised five kids in a home where bikes were always around, but pressure wasn’t. The philosophy was simple: support fully, manage lightly, and let the kids steer. Elliot shares what it was like walking away from a serious junior hockey path to chase bikes, dealing with expectations at the highest level of downhill, and finding his way back to loving the ride again. Nash talks about growing up in that same house, winter miles in Squamish rain, learning to handle the mental side of racing, and figuring out who he is beyond the family name. This episode is about more than racing. It’s about calm leadership, honest conversations after hard days, and choosing people over pressure. It’s about what happens when parents stay steady, kids are allowed to fail, and performance becomes a byproduct of joy. If you’re raising athletes, chasing your own goals, or just trying to keep sport healthy inside your family, this one will resonate. Reach out and get in contact with me here.
