Why We Ride Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Does failure stop you from trying? Afraid to commit because you believe the outcome will not be success? So you stop before you even start. Doors stay closed when we think this way.

Today’s guest is a great example of overcoming obstacles no matter how...

Send us Fan Mail I hear that if you don't race from a young age, you won't be successful. I've also heard that someone might be "too old" to land sponsorships. Are these facts of life though?

Send us Fan Mail Some kids want to be firefighters. Others want to be doctors. Then there are Action Sports Enthusiasts… The reality is we have an idea when we are really young of what we want to do with the rest of our lives but we have no idea where we will end up in 10 let alone 20 years from now. HOWEVER that doesn't mean you stop pushing for the goals you have created for yourself. When...

Send us Fan Mail It's the evening and the weekend is fast approaching. There are so many things we could be doing.

Send us Fan Mail It takes just one opportunity. You are one dm away from an opportunity of a lifetime. One email away from changing your life. Do you believe this stuff? Is it really only 1 away? Absolutely! It doesn’t matter if it’s a phone call, dm, text, email, or even handshake. You are literally 1 contact away from something incredible. A job change, a conversation, a sponsor, and even as lit...

Send us Fan Mail I know we’ve covered this once before.. But do you find yourself thinking that because you didn’t grow up racing, you don’t have a chance?

It really comes down to your commitment level and what you want to achieve in the industry. So...

Send us Fan Mail Social media can be so time consuming, right? It seems that if we are thinking we are watching a video for a min or two..

Send us Fan Mail Who doesn’t like a two part episode? I suppose it depends on the content. And let's face it, sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know.  It’s fascinating to think about the phenomenon of not knowing what we don’t know. When you learn a new skill and you believe you have mastered it, knowing everything you can about that particular skill, you still can learn something new abo...

Send us Fan Mail Here at The Action Sports Club we always say “Spend more time riding”. That is the dream right? So how do we get to the point where we can spend more time riding?

But get past the jargon and think about his point, it makes sen...
