Podcast: Lewis Buchanan talks about facing adversity and stepping outside of his comfort zone

In this episode, I got to share a conversation with the man himself, Lewis Buchanan. Lew is an amazingly accomplished rider who has stuck true to his roots and remains very humble despite his success.

This was an important conversation as we dissect and raise awareness around some of the lesser talked about issues surrounding mental health and mountain biking, especially when it comes to the modern-day, online environment a lot of pros and enthusiasts alike find themselves a part of.

As well as this, we chat about his many learnings and takeouts from his long racing background on the world enduro world series and his times between the tape on downhill courses since age 15. We also dive into some of the more recent races and disciplines he has stepped into, including the Red Bull Hardline in Wales and the Valparaíso Urban DH race in Chile.

As a rider who has made a habit of leaning into challenges and stepping outside of the 'norm' both on and off the bike, Lew has an incredible amount of lived wisdom ready for you to absorb.
