2025/01/07

On episode 83 (I said 84 but ignore that ;)) we chat with the leaders of Standing Boy Trail system in Columbus GA! The buzz has been generating over these trails in our state and since I have heard such great things we had to get them on to hear the story of the trails, what they entail, and the stories of the individual leaders and their journey in mountain biking. I am super excited to visit this trail system after recording this and hope you are too! P.S. They said they don't do rain well so

Gnar Gnomies MTB Podcast ·

2024/12/05

Last year did a pod with the kiddos and they wanted to do it again over Thanksgiving, so I reckon this is becoming an annual tradition. FYI this was very spur of the moment, intro music wasn't uploading, was in a food turkey coma, couple drinks in, no direction, kids wanted to do it so bad and froze up a bit when on the spot, but hey they wanted to be famous so hope you enjoy hearing from the groms! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/josh-schaefer/support

Episode 73: Like Father Like Son, Aiden Carder!

Gnar Gnomies MTB Podcast ·

2024/10/29

So after chatting with DJ and hearing stories of his son Aiden, I had to have this young racer get on the podcast as well to share his story! Aiden started racing at a young age, so young they had to lie to get him into races and he still rocked them. He was on a bike probably before he could walk. It was great to hear a perspective from someone who has grown up around the sport and living in a mountain biking mecca. So as Aiden says "Ride fast and don't crash!" and sit back and enjoy

Episode 67: The controversial topic... E-Bikes Part 1

Gnar Gnomies MTB Podcast ·

2024/09/17

Okay you know it was bound to happen at some point right?! Now a few Gnomies have gotten E-Bikes so this type of riding seems to be catching on... We can't ignore it anymore so lets just hit it head on with The Lawyer, The Mechanic, and Shreddy! P.S. This is part 1 mainly due to the fact I can't figure out how on Riverside to upload multiple audio recordings per episode (face palm) so if you know hit me up. Also it was a little long so probably makes sense in a two parter lol. ---
