Archived from the original on 16 March Archived from the original on 14 July Retrieved 13 September I have been following Rob on Instagram for a little while and just loved his attitude, love for mountain biking and the energy he put out with his posts and videos.
So I reached out and asked him to come on the podcast for a chat about what he does, how he stays motivated and how he went about getting ambassadorship and sponsorship. Rob was kind enough to say yes and we quickly set it up. Rob has a passion for getting people out on the trails and through his sponsorships and growing social community he has been able to reach more people and motivate people to start mountain biking, get out in nature and enjoy exercise on two wheels.
And for Rob that is what it is all about. Rob is fully aware of what mountain biking does for his overall mental state, energy and love for life and he simply wants to pass that on to as many people as he can. He is doing a great job so far! Rob was posting a lot of footage of himself biking in a skate park over the last few weeks. We chat about how this can help your bike handling skills and what kind of bike you will need to hit the skate park. We chat about what gear Rob uses and how he went about getting sponsorship, how this helps him stay stoked and get out on the trails.
We get into the racing scene, how that is changing and why Rob intends to attend a few enduro races next season. It was great to get Rob on the show.
