So please be patient on this one cause in the beginning the podcast breaks up some because yes I recorded this while driving.... Sorry but trust me it gets better as it goes farther in.

This dude doesn't need much of a title nor does one really fit him. If you have been around the GA MTB scene you have likely heard of him.

We uncover the big news about SORBA breaking away from IMBA with Dan the Man! He brings a really cool fresh perspective to SORBA with his business and financial background, non profit experience and casual MTB'er. Being what he phrased as somewhat of an outsider of the industry he really looked at things in a different way to help pave the way for this big move.
