MyinnereddiediestodayDon’t forget your audio audience.Hey all some of are not giving you our ocular attention. Don’t get too caught up pointing at pictures. As i tell my kids, use your words.

Adamj2281Love the new formatMy favorite podcast right now, these guys are great. Detailed discussions, funny, and the new format with reader questions is really entertaining. Stick with this new format. Good range of topics too.
-
wet desertEasily my fave podcastLoved this pod til Levy vanished & while it's ok now, Levy made it what it was. Hosts are all fine and while Dario is insanely knowledgeable on bike minutia his I'm-too-cool mono-drone is entirely u listenable to me... when he finds his actual voice & loses the hipster schtick he could carry more cred. Used o be the one pod I savagely awaited weekly, now I dip in some but it seems pretty gray.
-
KamFromWaLevy moved on and that’s okay.Good podcast for people who like mountain biking. Sarah, Christina, Matt, Dario, Kaz, and Henry do a good job. Good interviews with MTB people, nerdy tech conversations. Fun listen.
-
pandabiotchToo many interviews and racing talkPodcast seems to have taken a focus on interviewing racers and tangential to mtb topics. Bring back the tech talk, industry news, and mountain bike topics.
-
JeburgFell OffThis was a go to podcast. Since Outside took over all the content has dropped off (including YouTube). #bringbacklevy
-
CheknoutdjiboutiI’d,xls,slaveV@ldf@3rg3vf3#l$dvezghlsdfesgz$egrwlgf#lvf#Dbfg5hj I don’t now have to be there
-
Turtle SaviorAlway Interesting Slightly-Inside Industry DiscussionAs a sorta new mnt biker, the conversations about industry trends and issues fill out the background on what’s appearing on the shelves and in the stores. Hosts come across as approachable and comfortable bringing their experiences to their reviews, opinions, and interviews. I subscribe to a good many podcasts and this is one I’ll hop right to on the feed every time. Not as much on adaptative biking or kids mnt biking as I might prefer. Good industry interviews.
-
evi1mtbRIP pinkpodMike Levy made pinkbike. I only knew of him in recent years on YouTube and the podcast. Not the same without him. Best wishes, sir. Big shoes to fill.
-
Darring301Great pod but were is levyIve loved this podcast since it came out and mainly yalls discussions about perfect trail etc.but since levy isn’t on anymore and it just interviews i haven't like it nearly as much. Edit:since levy is leaving we need a new host like kaz or dario.brian and sarah need to come back to so that the podcast can be half as good as when levy was there
-
ComatosegiTop MTB PublicationGood podcast from the best journalists in the MTB space.
-
123RidesI’m sadNot levy!!!
-
McNuggetzzzNot a good podcast.Not good enough to be uploading to the internet.
-
Ryan MadaniMy favorite podcastThis podcast is awesome. More episodes please!
-
SuperGlideFX-EUsed to be, so good Now its just unlistenableI just can’t listen anymore. I try to like it like I did before, but its just missing something.
-
Back9BanditHenry is the worst!Henry, needs his own podcast! Make Pinkbike great again.
-
So great !!!!!!!!!!!No longer a must listenMissing the old crew. Especially Mike. The podcast used to be useful and entertaining. Now I am bored and usually only listen if Mike K is on the episode or if I have nothing else to listen to. I have abandoned many episodes half way through out of disinterest. That NEVER happened with Mike Levy. Mike K/Brian P episodes were good too, but Levy added a level of enjoyment that is sorely missing now.
-
Velo_GeekHenry has to go!Bring back the team- minus Henry!
-
wingsprint410OutstandingSo happy to hear Alicia is on the comeback trail. Thanks for sharing your story!
-
JarmeenF1More F1 please.
-
@mele4EdF1 FlapI love it! Yeah, it’s a lil’ off topic but the viewpoint from enthusiast such as Levy
-
Da Commish #1A Must SubscribeThis podcast is fantastic. Interviews with top Athletes and Insiders about all the bike nerd stuff and Levy and Henry waxing rhapsodic about life’s oddities. Love it!
-
hotdognickGreat pod but get this dude a microphoneGood pod with great interviews and information but man someone get this guy a mic.
-
Sydney FosterFun podcast makes long drives shorterI like the folks they have on. One of the best was Joel Harwood I think recently. Good job letting guest talk and not overly injecting opinions. And speaking of opinions. JUST SAY NO to headset routing!
-
mr.whiskerzShow was 5 stars before HenryThis show was grade A, once Henry came the show has really gone down hill. Use to listen a lot but due to his nature it’s not longer enjoyable to listen to his explicits and whining.
-
mtnyeti97Awesome listen when in the carThis is an awesome mtb pobcast. The host is so real and down to earth. It makes you feel like you are just talking with a bunch of friends about mountain biking.
-
sierra to great basinGwin pod 130 greatVery much enjoyed podcast with Arron Gwin. He is such a low-key guy but it was great to hear his straightforward talk on bike set up and all of the testing and prototyping he’s done over the years. Ran into him a couple times mountain biking in Temecula over the years and he was always super chill and nice. I was amazed that more people didn’t know who he was on his previous local trails. First podcast I’ve listened to by pinkbike. Good one to start off.
-
Redbull lover 69Amazing podcastThis MTB podcast is filled with no one of info on races, gear, bikes, Etc.
-
vacureVocal fryThe vocal fry is unreal and annoying
-
Zach18593Good Show with some expceptionsGreat show with the regular gang of the Mikes and Sarah. However Henry Quinney is an annoying addition with long rambling statements and an unauthentic Everyman persona it really drags the whole show down making it unlistenable. Ryan Palmer is a welcome addition.
-
FtWPantherWasteA waste of time if you need reality based information.
-
LP014ExcellentI’ve come to really enjoy these podcasts. The addition of Henry is amazing. I love the tidbits of life lessons thrown in, especially the episode of getting rid of social media and minimizing the use of Strava. Keep up the awesome work!!!
-
spro-broInformational and entertainingFun listen with great practical advise about mountain biking.
-
surlyoldmanNot my cup of tea…Mountain biker for 35 years. They aren’t talking about the things I am interested in. Very opinionated narrow focus of mountain biking.
-
angry scooterLove the show but…Love the show but I have to listen on the web site because no new shows have updated since I updated my phone. Still love the show.
-
tryingtofindanickname....RecommendedA great mountain bike podcast. Really easy and engaging listening, natural chemistry between hosts that feel real. Topics are generally good, covering broad range of bikes, tech, racing, etc. not listened to one that I found bad yet!
-
devo424The only podcast I look forward to!Thanks! No other podcast compares! I rarely write reviews. I would hate to not hear you anymore and only blame myself for not telling you how much you mean to me. Keep it coming!
-
ocho4prezGood stuffThanks guys and gals, for bringing a fun and entertaining show built around the sport I love.
-
SlackedoutslayerLevy is the manEntertaining as long as levy is there. Edit - was a lot better before the pretentious Henry joined the show. Pleased send that guy back to gmbn.
-
el de la jeepAlways stoked for the new episodes.I always know when a new episode drops cause I start feeling a warm-hot tingling in my groin. Pretty funny when it happens at work digging trenches or running conduit. Nah but for real though. Great podcast dudes and dudets, always good content. Serious question though; why no love for Commencal?
-
Dave_1233Best there isI get excited everytime there is a new episode. Feels like hanging out and listening to some good friends. I hope Pinkbike/Outside continues to make it a priority. As a new rider I would love to hear about recommendations you have for someone that is new to the sport. Buying your first bike, trail etiquette, making friends etc.
-
Cod-BoGreat podcastKeep Hank and the “foul” language.
-
laceloopHey pinkersThis is a podcast about mountain biking by mountain bikers for mountain bikers sometimes I even listen to it while mountain biking and I have over dosed on mountain biking a few times and been found on the side of the trail in a heap drooling and muttering about wheel sizes suspension setup and gearboxes. It’s a good podcast if you like to hear people go off topic and mutter about bikes and bike stories they don’t just talk about race results and geometry. The Richard Cunningham episodes are gold.
-
Howie1377Great podcastI love almost every podcast so far. The only advice is to keep the language clean. It’s the only podcast the whole family likes so I would like to continue to listen to it but there are some young listeners so keep it clean please!!
-
hello7856380No more RC please.I hate to say this but the only podcasts I haven’t listened to, was the endless rambling from RC . He’s an ambassador for our sport, but I don’t really care for his stories. Other than that, the podcast keeps me entertained while I’m driving to my mtb destinations. Keep up the good work.
-
tall1tooKey in laces is great idea! Brian Park brilliant!I was in the US Marine Corps, did my time in the suck…we would tie a dog tag into our boot laces so if we became dismembered, we’d have a better chance of being identified. Brian Park has it dialed! I never lost that dog tag. It’s actually still tied into those Danner RAT boots. Been to a few CentComm countries now.
-
dschumacWhy do you need to use foul language?I would really like to listen to this podcast with my boys who love to mountain bike, but won’t die to the bad language. I really don’t understand the need for it. Ruins it in my opinion.
-
HammerHallLevy and Kaz RockI wasn’t sure about a mountain bike podcast going in, but I was a regular Pinkbike reader, so I gave it a try. 71 episodes later and somewhere along the way it turned into my favorite podcast. Take that Rogan. Haha. Super interesting and fun. I like all the regulars and get really excited when RC comes on. Keep it up and I am very excited waiting for the alien episode, so don’t let me down. Thanks to both Mike’s for all the enjoyment.
-
theDirtyFlannelHooked.This is a solid podcast. Once I started listening, I couldn’t stop. I’m currently on episode 40. I noticed somewhere along the line, they said that the Rockshox Zeb was an arbitrary name. I just wanted to throw out that, knowing that Rockshox is located in Colorado Srpings, it’s most likely that the Zeb was named after Zebulon Pike from Pikes Peak. I’m not sure if this has ever been sorted out on the show, but it’s not super important. Thanks for the entertaining content. -theDirtyFlannel
