Ride & Laugh now has an official MTB Coach on the podcast! Sage dives into his intense weekend of becoming a certified mountain bike coach — and it wasn’t easy! Humbled by beginner drills, flat pedals, and slow-speed skills, Sage shares how letting go of ego and being open to learning transformed his mindset (and riding!). ✨ It’s just like riding a roller coaster: the more you trust, relax, and let go of control — the better the ride. 💫
We also talk sweaty hug regrets (DNA transfer?!), trail stress is a sloppy drunk, and finding gratitude when the trail (or life) gets gnarly. Plus: e-bike bans, superhuman riders like Mael Feron, fat-adapted riding vs sugar bombs, and one wild javelina attack in the Arizona desert. 🐗 Oh — and yes, Dan still can’t pronounce French names. Ride with us. Laugh with us. Progress with us!

Dan: Thomas & Arturo - Massive thanks to Thomas and Arturo! When Dan’s bike broke mid-ride, he was ready to hoof it down the mountain. But these legends stepped in, worked some trailside magic, and got him gliding again. Mechanically skilled and generous? That's the dream team. Mountain bikers are the BEST!
MTB Tip of the Week:

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
