The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 99 - New Year, New You?

 exactly the same here, still subscribed etc in apple podcast app but the last episode was 94, been listening through the website still though

 Yup, still having issues. Just think of all the catching up you’ll get to do in the new year

 Im having the same issue

 Paywall…….just sayin

 Ok, not just me. They show up on itunes for at my desk…

 Also episode 93. Finished about 90% now it just says episode unavailable. Same for 94. New one are not even shown. Please fix

 @mikelevy: any update on this...?

 You got it Andrew! If you're looking for a coach, I'd recommend Ross Dunlop who coaches with ZEP at Whistler: www.zepmtbcamps.com/about

 @mtbthe603: thanks for the steer!

 Now that the other comments back and forth between two individuals have been removed, please remove my comment as well as it’s irrelevant now.
Hoping for better humans who respect one another in ‘22
Me-ride my bikes a little more, drink a little less, be a little nicer to my family (especially when I haven’t ridden recently), and surround myself with great people.
Thanks PB!


In ‘22 I better just ride my bike

 Ebike koms? Psh

 Hope yr joking as all of Pisgah is e-bike illegal. May wanna stick to Kanuga, Windrock, Berm Park (if it ever opens) or ebike-legal parks b/c if people see ya offload an ebike in Pisgah, yr very likely to get some ripped up tires, get yr rig trashed out on the trail and/or ticketed as yr gonna def get called in to get ticketed by LEO and they will do that faster than you can get back & try to hide yr bike. Not kidding man - ebikes + Pisgah = seriously bad combo. Hit the legal sites. It'll make you & ebikers look better & get more respect.

 @Mtn-Goat-13: I think that’s the joke. He’s gonna get KOM because no one else is on a E-Bike in Pisgah lol

 @MillerReid: Word...hard to read these types of things at times on-screen but yeah: I missed the TRSTFND lead. Just saw a guy get almost beaten today at Bent Creek (Asheville) by a crew of riders...old guy on an ebike. I was afraid for him. They took his battery out & said they'd walk him & his bike out to the road and then they left.

 @Mtn-Goat-13: that’s honestly pretty sad. I love Pisgah and support not allowing E-Bikes but that’s just sad. Bullies will be bullies no matter what it’s about I guess.

 @MillerReid: Bent Ck isn't technically Pisgah (Brevard proper) tho its in the Pisgah district (close to A'ville and waaaay more usage than even Pisgah gets) but still - these guys weren't being bullies...just being firm. They were just being sure homey knew it wasn't allowed & they walked him out - glad to see someone enforcing these rules since USFS mostly can't (except in main Brevard area Pisgah). It will hopefully be a lesson not to ride ebikes on these trails where its clearly signed.

I'm sure ebiking is great - at parks like Kanuga I'm getting passed sometime twice before I can even pedal up once so clearly its more laps & more mileage for the time but - there are more & more parks popping up around the region by the year, and 1000's of miles of USFS roads where ebiking is legal. I'm def'ly not wanting to see confrontations but when people are breaking the rules because they think they are special and the exception - they shouldn't be surprised if others call them out and enforce the rules.

 I came to ask this same thing. Lets see a whole lap. Doesn't need to be super fancy with lots of 3rd person shots, just a full lap with a speed and elevation overlay so we get a better sense of what you're riding on would be much appreciated.

 Guessing these guys are all on vaycay. I totally get it and they should be - would just be nice to know. Three weeks now w/o a cast seems like a f*cking eternity (because I love these guys & the banter, the whole thing). Dunno the answers to your questions but the answer is yes except that Beta is likely hand-n-glove in a sense. I don't know how related it is or not, but its ultimately from the same group now w/ Outside ownership.

 @Mtn-Goat-13: I have fallen into a mild depression... its been snowing here, i have a new bike i cant ride, and no podcast

 @Mtn-Goat-13: yeh come on Levy, we need some podcast love asap.

 New Year, New Podcast? C'mon guys and gals. You had three out by this time in 2021. Back to work!

 @dmackyaheard: Cantcha just go snowbiking (not fatbiking!) - I did a buncha that in my area the past several yrs and had a blast

 @Mtn-Goat-13: Negative to that lol

 It sounds like you need to make a Transition

 Dissatisfaction with purchased goods has been shown to be essentially proportional to time spent (wasted) "researching".

 Not quite the same. I researched lawnmowers this spring, pulled the trigger and went electric. Hated it. Instant buyers remorse. Sold it in the fall and bought what I should have in the spring. Best purchase of the year for me.

 @dirtyburger: Wow, this one hit me hard!

 @dirtyburger: I hope you are wrong. Since an Injury in August im Digging super deep into what bike to buy next. Today I downloaded an Programm called Linkage X3 were I can simulate suspension of bikes look at leverage ratios and Anti squat with different chainrings and trugh the travel ect. If you are right im going to be very unstatisfied with my descision ^^

 @dirtyburger: Its science, 60% of the time it works every time

 Follow up question for this @mikelevy which content are you guys most proud off and which do you in retrospect regret. As mentioned above the budget vs baller series has been widely panned whilst all the Cathrine stuff seems to be wildly enjoyed

 @mikelevy @sarahmoore @mikekazimer Just saw Mike Levy’s reply below that podcast 100 is already in the can. Is there anywhere I can post my question above so it can be considered for a future podcast?

 @Krackity-Jones: All good, I've added to the list

 Has Levy cracked under the pressure of delivering something worthy of the 100th podcast? Has he been abducted by aliens and is being probed for No.100 right now?

 Rear Triangle, if I understand the questions.

 Nope, episode 100 will get posted this week - just finished editing it. I took some time off but we're back in business

 Ditto on that here as well - had to bump to Spotify to cast it.

 Gotta stream via Spotify now (unless ya don't subscribe). Not sure what happened but - doesn't look like we're getting a show this week either. I was chomping at the bit for a cast last week, about to lose it this week...gonna practically be dead waiting for one to maybe drop next week. Good luck getting hold of it...

 @Mtn-Goat-13: I have found it on Spotify. I suppose its no big deal really. It does sem a bit odd however. I need to get in the habit of checking other locations

 @Potterymouth: Good to hear - I guess the prob is that only some people subscribe (mines free as a buddy put me on his family plan years ago). I'm used the apple-cast method but have since just moved all my mtb casts to Spotify and everything else on apple.

 no

 The midwest has a few great trail areas but a lot of very mediocre ones. I would love to move my family to the mountains, just not in the cards yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 I'm lucky to be a Blue Ridge / western NC mountains rider... no lack of options here. But if I lived in the Midwest I'd def try to find the trails or make some... just cannot live w/o riding (and not interested in road biking). There are some odd little ranges & peaks tho, if ya look at maps - Ouachita Mtns in Oklahoma & Arkansas w/ a high elev of 2753 - that's a big-ass drop but I don't know what trails are in that area. There are also probably lots of gorge / hollow / dropoff types of areas none of us are aware of. I don't have plans to go, but point being: when its mostly flat & bland & your surrounded by the 1870's people, you gotta find something rad to do or you die.
