Ridin' The Line

EPISODE 24 Ft. David Chaney

This week on Ridin’ the Line, we sit down with outdoor industry veteran and community builder David Chaney for one of our most in-depth conversations yet. From working with brands like Under Armour, Red Bull, and New Balance to building community through Martha’s Outpost and now launching Trail Scouts MTB, David shares an incredible perspective on outdoor culture, sports marketing, family, entrepreneurship, and why North Georgia has become such a special place for mountain biking. We dive into the importance of authentic community, the evolution of action sports marketing, balancing career and family life, and David’s vision for getting more families involved in mountain biking through Trail Scouts MTB. Plus plenty of laughs, stories from the trail, paddling adventures, race culture, and insight into what makes the Southeast riding scene so unique. This one goes way beyond bikes. If you care about community, outdoor culture, building something meaningful, or just hearing an inspiring story from someone who’s lived it, this episode is for you.

EPISODE 21 Ft. Bergen Khare

In this episode of Ridin’ the Line, we sit down with trail builder, racer, and all around mountain bike guy Bergen Khare out of Asheville, North Carolina. We get into what really goes into building great trails and why the smallest details can make the biggest difference. From shaping corners that work for every rider to designing flow that keeps people coming back, Bergen breaks down the art behind it all. We also talk about the rise of e bikes and why they have become such a hot topic in the sport. The pros, the pushback, and what it means for the future of trail systems and access. On top of that, Bergen shares stories from building trails overseas in Finland, working in some of the toughest terrain you can imagine, and what that experience taught him about trail design and progression. The conversation goes deeper into land use, public access, and why protecting outdoor spaces matters to everyone who rides, hikes, or just enjoys being outside. This one is for anyone who cares about riding, building, and where the sport is headed. Tap in and enjoy.
