We can all agree that hardtail mountain bikes and full suspension bikes are great choices, but what is the best NEXT bike for most riders to excel on? E-bikes (aka E-MTBs) allow almost limitless laps and miles on your trails, but e-bikes are expensive while Dirt Jumpers (aka DJs) are inexpensive and demand precision from riders. Listen to the episode & then let us know which you would choose: e-bike, DJ, or something else! The fellas debate the best bike to own AFTER your hardtail and full suspension trail bike. Dan & Sage make some surprisingly compelling arguments for e-bikes vs. dirt jumpers. Who do you agree with? Which bike would you recommend and which bike would you buy? The guys also discuss riding 'blind' vs. sessioning drops/features, icy Pennsylvania mountain bike trails, night riding, bike jump 'mastery', Dan in Arizona, riding centered/riding confident, and Sage's New Bike Day! MTB Gratitude of the Week Sage: 500 Subscribers on YouTube for Ride & Laugh! - The fellas have so much gratitude and appreciation for all our listeners and viewers on YouTube. Sage especially puts a tremendous amount of work into the YouTube episodes. We're unlimited and we're so excited to see what's next for Ride & Laugh and for all of our awesome listeners and viewers! Dan: The State of Arizona - Dan is grateful to Arizona for the sun, positive vibes and healing energy. Dan shares that his amazing wife, Lauren, has been fighting cancer and explains how he followed his intuition to move to Arizona for her healing. Open to intuition, open to flow. There is appreciation to be found in everything. Be in the moment. We got this. MTB Tip of the Week: When riding at night, use TWO lights. The handlebar light will be your main headlight but a 2nd light on your helmet is key. The helmet light will swivel with your head and also bail you out should the 1st light fail! Night riding is fun and modern trail lights are amazing!

Join a "Ride & Laugh" mountain bike debate about hardtails, full-suspension, e-bikes, skills, fun, budget, weight, passion and much more! How important is the right bike to a new mountain bike rider's joy of our amazing sport? Do most riders start on hardtails, or can we go right to a full-suspension trail bike?

Maximize the fun and excitement of mountain biking on a new trail for the 1st time, aka “Riding Blind!” Learn the top tips to boost your confidence, speed and flow on new and old MTB trails!! Is it still riding blind if you’re following another rider? Dan rides partially blind (Pirate style!?) on the double black "Old Man Trail" at South Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona. Does a ‘big’ bike with more suspension travel, such as the Pivot Firebird or Yeti SB160 add confidence when riding blind on new trails? Sage discusses how he utilizes multi-day fasting to optimize health for mountain biking. Dan is surprised by what he learns riding his hardtail MTB on the famed National Trail at SoMo. Also discussed are clipped-in pedals vs. exposure, gap jumps at Hawes Trails in Mesa, AZ, pumptrack fitness, ideal tire PSI, anxiety vs. intuition and much more! MTB Gratitude of the Week Sage: DennyJenettyMTB “Rider Spotlight” series - Dennis interviewed TrailSage as part of his new “Rider Spotlight” series. Dennis is interviewing MTB YouTubers and riders with his unique perspective and sense of humor. Sage had a blast talking to Dennis and has gratitude for their friendship! Check out Dennis’s interview with Sage and support his Rider Spotlight series! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGD6BNe6Tgw Dan: Meeting Kyle Anderson and Rob Drew! - Dan and “SoMo Jeff” met Kyle on a recent ride climbing up the gnarly National Trail at South Mountain. Kyle was as friendly as he was talented! This guy loves mtbing and was stoked to share some crazy lines and options we had never even considered! We then met Kyle’s good friend, the legendary Rob Drew himself! Rob was super cool and showed us how he climbs up the massive waterfall feature on National Trail. Awesome people, awesome riders, awesome day on the bike! MTB Tip of the Week: When riding a trail for the 1st time and following someone, JUST FOLLOW. Ask only about trail features that are above your comfort level. Don’t ask for too much detail, your job is to stay present and ride. The ride leader’s job is to shout-out any features you may not be comfortable with. Use the techniques discussed in this pod to slay new and old trails alike! You got this!!

Do we need to 're' unlock mountain bike skills we have already learned but not used on the trails in a long time? Episode 50 is a classic as we discuss the "Ride and Laugh Cabin/Museum," breakaway pants, hardtails on hard-trails, hip packs and much more! Dan and Sage learn the best way to land your mountain bike while discussing how much water we need on a ride, hip-pack vs. hydration packs, more winter ride tips, and demos of Pivot Cycles at South Mountain. Can a modern XC bike possibly replace a trail or enduro bike on gnarly trails? What happens on the trail, stays on the trail!? Join us for all the laughs, jokes, stoke, tips, encouragement and mountain bike joy! MTB Gratitude of the Week Sage: Shimano MW 501 - Sage appreciates these high performance winter shoes. The Shimanos are great on all but the coldest of rides. The shoes are light-weight, waterproof and comfortable. A good pair of fall/winter shoes is a worthy investment that should last many seasons! Check out Sage’s review here: https://youtu.be/1rX7cOGaTuk Dan: Hector's portable, mini, electric air compressor! - This tiny air compressor saved Dan a ton of time on the trail as it not only re-inflated his flat tire, but seated a tubeless tire to the rim! This powerful little compressor was super impressive, so Dan immediately bought one! Mini-Air Compressor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8JGD9X8 MTB Tip of the Week: When climbing on your mountain bike, shift your weight to the front of the saddle.

There is no doubt that utilizing beginner to expert level "Trials Skills" on a trail will unlock infinite progression, confidence and ability on your next mountain bike ride! Old habits may die hard, but when we practice being present on the bike, we can unlock all the balance, skill and ability we want! Sage was super stoked to ride with "The Trail Boss," Jeff Lenosky at Mt. Penn in Reading, PA. Jeff's incredible skills and experience teach us that anything is truly possible! Sage also enjoyed being back on a smaller mountain bike as he sends a new trail gap at Brandywine Park in Delaware. Dan experiences the exact ride he needs in beautiful Sedona, Arizona. Besides incredible beauty, Sedona boasts all the slabs, tech, climbs and jumps any mountain biker could ask for! National Trail in Phoenix, AZ claims a victim in a nasty crash but the ride is saved in an expected way! The guys also discuss the new "Ride & Laugh" Strava group, mullet bikes vs. 27.5 bikes, trail gaps, breaking old riding habits, clipless pedals vs. flat pedals and so much more! MTB Gratitude of the Week Dan: Web MD / Internet Search! - After Neil dislocated his shoulder on a ride on National Trail at South Mountain, the guys learned how to 'relocate' a dislocated shoulder from the internet! While still on the trail, they were able to instruct Neil how to pop his shoulder back into the socket and get back to the trailhead. Gratitude to the internet! Mountain bikers are awesome! Heal up Neil! Sage: Sage's Ibis Mojo 3 - As Sage contemplates adding a new mountain bike to his garage, he is overwhelmed with gratitude for the excellent and trusty Ibis Mojo 3. The Mojo has brought countless hours of flow, fun, joy and progression to Sage on the trails. Thank you Ibis Mojo 3! MTB Tip of the Week: Endo Turn/ Nose Pivot! Hit the front brake to unweight your rear tire then swing the bike to either side. Practice small endo turns on the trail 1st. You don't need to go very fast and put yourself on a slight turn to make the endo turn easier to initiate.

Challenging technical climbs on analog mountain bikes is alive and well at the famous National Trail at South Mountain! What's the difference jumping steep "Dirt-Jumper Jumps" vs. "Mountain Bike Jumps" and should you significantly raise handlebar height to boost confidence in the air? This week the guys discuss the joys of technical climbing on mountain bikes. Is it better to practice jumping a smaller BMX/Dirt-Jump bike on steep (and scary!) jumps or to practice jumping the 'humps' at the local pump track? Will raising the handlebar height on a dirt-jumper make it feel more like a mountain bike? Can an e-bike get us in trouble by attempting a climb that's too steep!? Join us for a fun conversation about all things mountain biking! MTB Gratitude of the Week Sage: Sennheiser Profile Microphone! After some listener comments about the Ride & Laugh Podcast sounding 'professional,' Sage appreciates how our Sennheiser microphones do a great job for our mountain bike podcast. Technology is awesome and we appreciate our equipment which allows the Ride & Laugh podcast to happen! Sennheiser Profile Microphone: https://www.sennheiser.com/en-us/catalog/products/microphones/profile-usb-microphone Dan: Troy Lee A3 Helmet! Dan has found the Troy Lee Designs A3 Helmet to fit exceptionally well. The helmet looks nice, stays secure and has MIPS protection. A comfortable helmet is appreciated in mountain biking!

Mountain bike trails featuring jumps, drops, steeps, slabs, skinnies and more can be so intense it compels us to stay present. And in this present moment you are more than good enough. Move from 'survival mode' into confidence and flow. Flow on the bike, flow in life! In honor of Halloween, the guys discuss what 'scares' them on the trails. Agonizing over a feature gives it more power. Learn to let it go and transmute that energy into positive momentum for your next ride and for your life! Dan & Sage also talk more about Red Bull Rampage, favorite mountain bikers, Dirt Jumpers and much more! As always, there's plenty of laughs and high vibes! Thanks for listening! We appreciate you!

Once upon a time, fitness was a prerequisite for trail fun on a mountain bike! E-bikes have changed the MTB game, but is that a good thing? Join the guys for a conversation about the benefits of cardio fitness on our mountain bikes. Since e-bikes have eliminated the need to 'earn your turns,' is fitness still necessary? What are the reasons and benefits to train hard for your analog bike? Does riding an e-bike make rocky/technical trails easier? How should beginners learn mountain biking? Pump tracks! We also discuss more techniques like “torso tracking" and dynamic riding that you can take to your next ride! MTB Gratitude of the Week Sage: Road bike! 2014 Giant TCX Pro - Sage has appreciation for his trusty road bike. The road bike allows Sage to walk out his door and train for mountain biking. Intense road riding prepares Sage's legs, lungs & body for an intense day of riding and climbing on his mountain bike. Thank you road bike! Dan: TrainerRoad "AI FTP Detection" - Dan has so much appreciation for the elimination of the dreaded "FTP Test" on the indoor trainer.

Trusting our bike skills and fully committing to a feature on the trail feels good! Why do some mountain bikers thrive on high consequence challenges like jumps, drops, features and tech? Entering the flow state on our mountain bikes is achieved with skill, enthusiasm and confidence! When we're flowing, we know that anything is possible! We seek out challenges on the trail that may seem risky or silly to non-riders. But as mountain bikers, achieving competence or mastery of these challenges raises our 'stoke-meters' through the roof!

Thanks to our bodies we get to enjoy the amazing sport of mountain biking (and so much more!). Extra gratitude for avoiding injury on a dangerous fall recently! Dan: Metabolic Flexibility! - Dan appreciates his body's ability to burn fat as fuel. This amazing adaptation that all humans have unlocks metabolic flexibility. Dan can easily fast (skip meals) for long periods. This ability has been really useful this week with Dan travelling and working long hours at work. No need to eat! It's a super-power that is really useful on the trails as well! The human body is amazing! Thank you universe! MTB Tip of the Week How to properly shift into an easier gear while putting down intense power on a mountain bike climb.

Which skills would you add? Where and how do you learn some of these skills!? The guys also discuss skills clinics, power meters, road rides on your mountain bike, training indoors vs. outdoors, single speed MTB technique, pump tracks and much more!

Dan discusses a new technique he learned for skinnies (which Sage disagrees with!). The guys talk about jumping some really large doubles, or 'humps' as Sage explains... which leads to some ridiculous hijinks and joking around. Finally, what did Sage do wrong riding a super steep slab? We have the film to review his crash (he's OK!). We're definitely sounding like 2 guys in a parking lot in this episode! Listen and laugh along with us! MTB Gratitude of the Week: Sage: 1st Responders for MTB trails, bike parks & injuries. Thank you! Dan: MTB Culture. Dan explains all the riders who offered to help with a recent flat tire. And how many times have you shown a rider a trail or a feature? Or had a friendly rider show you a line or tow you into a feature? Mountain bikers are awesome! Thank you all! MTB Tip of the Week: Be prepared! Know the location of where you're riding.

Fun on a mountain bike often includes new and difficult features, but how do we know when we're truly ready to 'send it' on that tough slab, jump, drop or gnarly trail? MTB skills are important, but more than anything, riders need the supreme confidence which comes from a quiet and insightful mind. Join the guys for a candid and honest conversation about tuning into intuition, paying attention to signs, 100% commitment, self-worth, approval and doing things for ONLY the right reasons. We are all more than worthy already so our bikes should only enhance our joy. This episode, Dan and Sage discuss the surprisingly complex emotions of mountain biking decision making. Live in the moment, trust your abundance and let go of thoughts that do not serve you. Flow on the bike, Flow in life! MTB Gratitude of the Week Dan: 4th Street Cafe - Dan appreciates this diner for all the pre-work meals he and Sage have had there. Talking bikes and life over a meal and a cup of coffee is better than therapy! Perfect start to a day! Gratitude to the 4th Street Cafe and gratitude for friendship! Check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/p/4th-Street-Cafe-100088899905568/ Sage: Dan pulling Sage off a wet jump trail. Sometimes the signs are as obvious as your friends telling you something may not be a good idea! Sage really wanted to ride a jump trail even though it was wet, and conditions were less than ideal. Maybe it would have been fine and maybe not. But Sage appreciates Dan making the call based on his intuition and moral compass. Gratitude to friends and the guidance they often provide. Together, "we got this!" MTB Tip of the Week Ride with Intention - Ride the bike, don't let the bike ride you. Work the bike at all times but especially in wet conditions. When you ride with intention, you will be instinctive and purposeful in your actions. Push into the ground, know when to get heavy and when to get light, when to brake and when to roll. Trust your skills, eyes up, stay present, react and flow!

An e-bike certainly means more laps, more jumps, more drops and more trails, but what are the downsides for us traditional mountain bikers? Can an e-MTB be used as a tool for progression on your mountain bike? Dan & Sage are excited to demo Specialized Turbo Levo e-bikes for 3 days of riding! The guys use these modern marvels to session jumps and unlock MTB skills! Day 1 we went to the Trexler Nature Preserve and sessioned the Return of Brian's trail and Jack O Diamonds. Day 2 and 3 we headed to Mt Penn to hit the Skyline jumps. The progression we experienced over those 3 days was incredible!!!
