Such a rad episode. Lots of memories that kinda hit close to home. The getting on a bike and pedaling from the house because that's all you had when you were on your own. I even grew up about 20 miles from where he did and still ride that area from time to time.

Yes Condro!! Always love to hear this man speak. Ryan and his older brother Matt Condrashoff are a wealth of knowledge, and more importantly there’s always an insane story behind how they gained this knowledge haha

Woo you guys that made my day hearing you choppin it up, droppin gems on em!! Some great American storytelling right thurr.

@sspomer Thank you guys for sharing a calm and honest conversation. Everybody’s lived experiences during the last couple years is valid and deserves discussion, not censorship. 🙏🏻❤️

This is probably one of the best perspectives on the entire pandemic I have ever listened to anywhere. It blows me away to hear it here on a mountain bike site rather than somewhere like 60 Minutes. Thank you so much for sharing Kyle. Hopefully Kelly and I will get a chance to say hi at Sea Otter.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to chat Spomer. I’m so sorry for all you have gone through as well and I appreciate you being willing to share. I hope that people are able to come away from this with the understanding that we are all in the midst of such a complex situation and at the end of the day we should try to treat each other with compassion and understanding. Many of us have different life, political, and religious beliefs and that’s one of the things that makes the world so special. As long as we are able...

What did the Best Skier say that wasn't factually true? He nailed it.

Seriously, what did he say that wasn't true? Anyways, thank you vital for being the first cycling outlet that I've seen to have covered or given Kyle a voice. Better late than never I guess. Kyle, you're a hero and are in our thoughts and prayers!

Never forget that this virus came from China, created in the Chinese Communist Party Wuhan lab, funded by the US gov’t. Love you guys. I’m so sorry to hear about everyone’s experiences with this ugly time in human history.

Tough topic, and of course Kyle's personal story and a couple of his anecdotal stories are disturbing. It sucks that these news sources, just really can't be trusted. I've gotten to where I can't even watch the stuff. Cable news in particular is terrible for our society. Full of bias and inaccuracies. I'm proudly pro-vaccination, but it infuriates me that your story has been censored at times. The truth will set us free. GL, Kyle.

Kyle and April! Just finished listening to this podcast. AWESOME! Kyle, I love your critical thinking and willingness to dive in and make sense of all the data that is out there. Too many people read headlines or captions and don't get the full story. I like your approach, your integrity, and your passion. I'm glad Kyle gave an update on how April was doing through all this! She is amazing! So strong! I'm in the medical profession as an eye doctor. Obviously I'm not an infectious disease expert, but I've had my share of education in that area... and...

Damn... Things went heavy real fast... Spomer, sorry for your loss... Kyle, great to hear things have been improving for you.. Both mentally and physically.. I remember someone going off on you calling you an anti-vaxer on your IG and I was like "Did you miss the part where he got the shot?" I was also someone that encouraged you to step away from the social media and focus on yourself.. Keyboard courage brings out ugliness in people.. Keep telling your story.. One sided discussions are rarely productive.

GT called, they want their design back! Mongoose and Schwinn used something similar ~15 years ago too. It's not URT. But I think there's a reason why GT dropped the design as soon as the fsr patent expired. Along with Mongoose. EDIT: just now looked at the Kickstarter... Holy cow, it is an URT!! Color me flabbergasted. Turns out "those that don't know the history are destined to repeat it" is true... (with the links down there I was sure the BB was on a separate link to the rear triangle)

coolest thing to hit the world cup from the states in a long time. that true homegrown shit. gonna be rooting for Neko more this year than ever before.

Wow. Going through the east coast bike possibilities in my head for Neko, FTW came up as a “man, that would rule but obviously would never happen.” This is seriously awesome. Best of luck Neko and Frank.

Great news for Neko, the bike looks amazing and built by a master. Superb video interview and article Vital.

Yes Neko! 🤘

Posted this in the rumors thread also: This neko move is epic, it is real powerfull to be the first follower, props to Isak to pioneer.. It would be cool if this could spark more moves like this! It would be great to see more connection with frame builders and what people can do, not only big business

Hella cool guys, grip it and rip it!

Oh man everything about this is soooo rad.
