Behind The Passion

Eliot is a World Cup racer. He talks about how staying positive and having confidence is important in life. His edits of riding Whistler are always on Pinkbike. We discuss how social media can be misrepresented as actual reality and it's just not true - most people don't share their day to day life experiences. He talks about bike set up a bit and how impressive Aaron Gwin rides in all types of conditions. I admire his thoughts about passion and how it's all about breaking it down and thinking outside the box and figuring out how it works. 

Carson is a Red Bull Athlete that is fully passionate about riding his bikes. I know he loves riding all types of bikes but after gaining a podium spot (3rd place) and best trick at Red Bull Rampage 2016, I bet his freeride bike is top of that list.  He's such a humble guy and is immensely grateful to be able to travel the world and pursue his passion of riding bikes. He talks about a few upcoming trips, Mt Bachelor Bike Park and a few great stories about how, and when he discovered his passion in life. 

I'm so stoked to have this passionate shredder on the show.  This guy surfs, skis, and bikes with some of the best.  He lives a life that most dream of, traveling the world while pursuing his passions in life.  Stay tuned to hear about a few upcoming projects and trips he has planned for this year. Cheers
