Ever wonder how pro mountain bike riders make riding gnarly trails look so effortless and smooth? In this episode of the Ride and Laugh MTB Podcast, we dive into the secrets of brain processing speed, staying perfectly centered, and learning to mountain bike at speed without overthinking. 

Join Dan and Sage as we talk about mtb tire upgrades, jump techniques, and trusting your flow. Can you rewire your brain to see trails—and life—with fresh eyes? Tune in, laugh with us, and ride better every time you hit the trails!

MTB Gratitude of the Week:

Dan: Specialized Henge - Dan swapped the stock seat on his indoor trainer for a Specialized Henge Expert saddle. Since he spends so much time pedaling indoors, keeping the butt/taint happy is key! Specialized’s fit system makes finding the perfect saddle size a breeze.

Sage: Mason - Shoutout to Mason at the Mountain Creek Bike Park shop! He noted Sage’s shredded tires, recommended fresh ones (two instead of just one), and even hooked him up with an industry discount. Thanks also to Ethan for noticing how sketchy those old tires were!

MTB Tip of the Week:

Tired of struggling to take your MTB shoes on and off?  Hit your BOA dials with a drop of lube like Tri-Flow. The laces glide smooth, tighten easy, and release without a fight. Game changer for MTB shoes!

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
