Rob Warner is BACK! (in more ways than one)
12/4/2024
Rob Warner is BACK in The Ride Companion studio!
After the overwhelming response to his powerful episode on autism and mental health, Rob shares how much the support has meant to him and how life’s shifted since opening up. But don’t worry, it’s not all deep stuff—Rob’s bringing the laughs too! We chat about his upcoming movie night in Guildford, dusting off his World Cup-winning Giant ATX990, and what the future holds for mountain bike tech.
There’s a hilarious story about visiting Area 51, what it was like commentating on a DEATHGRIP2 segment, and why Red Bull had to hire someone to help “tone down” his wild broadcasting style. Plus, we discuss Hardline 2025 in Tasmania and Wales, why Rob's been back at the dirt jumps and much more!

Brett Tippie on Freeride, addiction, fatherhood, Bigfoot & living a life worth remembering
11/27/2024
Ever wondered where Brett Tippie get his endless jokes and infectious energy from?
In this episode, Olly and Davi sit down with the freeride mountain biking legend to uncover his incredible journey—from being one of the first pro snowboard racers on the planet to dropping into his first steep gravel pit in Kamloops, where freeride mountain biking was born.
Brett shares how freeride evolved into a movement, the bike industry’s initial reaction, and the early days of Red Bull Rampage (including the time he got his bike stolen!). He opens up about battling addiction, disappearing from the scene, and his welcome return to the bike industry. We also dive into Brett Tippie’s life as a father, his thoughts on today’s true freeriders, talk about spotting Bigfoot and much more... This episode is packed with stories, laughs, and incredible stories, we hope you enjoy it!

The DEATHGRIP2 Podcast (with Brendan Fairclough & Chris Seager)
11/22/2024
Brendan Fairclough and Chris Seager join us in the studio to break down everything you need to know about DEATHGRIP2!
During the podcast we dive into the story behind the original DEATHGRIP—how it made its way onto Netflix and became one of the most-watched pieces of mountain bike content ever. Brendan and Chris reveal how DEATHGRIP2 pushes the boundaries even further, from insane FPV drone shots to their passion for long form content. Find out how the unfortunate delay in the film's release happened, the wild ideas that brought the project to life, and what makes this sequel stand out from the original. Plus, we chat about the UK premiere tour, behind-the-scenes moments with top riders like Amaury Pierron, Jackson Goldstone, and Kaos Seagrave, and why even the credits are worth watching!
