My Ride Life: Josh Carlson, Giant Factory Off-Road Team - Video
In Aussie slang, to be “frothing” is to be fully amped. Which is why “Frother” is the perfect nickname for Giant Factory Off-Road Team rider Josh Carlson. Whether he’s pushing his limits on a treacherous enduro track, riding with friends in the Canadian backcountry, or being a dad in his adopted hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, Josh goes all out. All the time. And always with a laugh and a big smile. Here’s an inside look at Josh’s Ride Life.
Catch up Josh and the team here.

Funny to hear that the riding in Ashland-OR got him into enduro with a wicked 45 min decent since that is what got me into MTB as well. Cheers Josh for ripping it up

It should be illegal to have a 125cc-moto-part in videos with no sound!

I just remember Carlson cutting in line ahead of non pro riders at aspen. Then I got to over hear a ten minute convo about how shitty other people are.
