E105: Bruce le Riche - Quality practice makes perfect

Thursday, February 17, 2022 • Duration 01:02:50

In this episode we catch up with South African rider turned Aussie: Bruce le Riche.

It's worth going back and listening to episode 58 with his brother Brent as well.

We hear about Bruce's time in South Africa, before a false start at riding in the UK, before eventually making it to the USA and riding the NATC championships.

We hear about Bruce building upon his early success to finish 2nd in the 2005 NATC season and how he worked as a coach at the Trials Training Centre in Tennessee.

We discuss the world round in Duluth and we are trying something new with this episode: Bruce is going to take us through what he means when he says "Quality practice makes perfect".

Ladies and gentleman I give you my chat with Bruce le Riche.

E103: Sean Bird - Flying high with current Canadian Champ

Thursday, January 27, 2022 • Duration 41:13

Today we are flying high with the Birdman. Sean Bird is Canada's current champion also does a lot of freestyle work with shows and previous work with the Marvel Universe live & Freestyle Kings.

We chat with Sean about where it all started, and he opens up about the pitfalls of going up a grade before you were really ready.

Sean then had a break from the sport while he focused on his career, but as so often is the story we hear about how he came back and the generosity of a rider to simply give him his bike to ride to help Sean recapture the bug.

Since then Sean has been busy evolving into a freestyle rider and shows with former guest Sam King under Sams company Ride the Vibe, travelled to China for work with Freestyle Kinds and as mentioned the Marvel universe Live before COVID shut it down.

It was a treat to speak with Sam, and here about his plans for the TdN and the year ahead and how he balances training for events vs freestyle shows.

E102: Theresa Bäuml - There is more to life than just trials

Thursday, January 20, 2022 • Duration 37:28

I was really pleased to get to speak with German rider Theresa Bäuml on this episode of the podcast. It's been too long since last chatting with a German rider and this was also an opportunity to get into the women's trials scene with a successful rider across German Championships, European Championships and Winner of a Trial GP event.

And I'm not kidding about that success, Theresa is the winner of the German Championship from 2015 to 2019.

She won the European Championships 2015 & 2016

And she was the winner of the Italian Trial GP in 2017.

Theresa opens up on why her results have dropped in recent years, and you may be shocked as I certainly was, to discover she was diagnosed with a brain tumour that required multiple surgeries and although the worst is behind her she has been left still feeling some after effects.

As a result of all this she hasn't been riding much with COVID as well stifling her ability to ride, but it has given her a renewed lease on life and a perspective that there is more in the world than just trials and that and to really value your health and wellbeing.

I'm still amazed at Theresa's courage and I can wait to see her back on the bike sometime soon.

Ladies and gentleman I give you my chat with German rider Theresa Bäuml.

E99: Michael Lois - Back from the brink and re-discovering passion for two wheels

Thursday, December 9, 2021 • Duration 46:35

Today we speak with Michael Lois. This is the amazing story of how a promising footballer suffered a life changing injury that turned his life upside down. Michael was the 2nd person in his class to commit to a college on a full football scholarship, which for the initiated, means he was pretty good and his talent was recognised early.

Only 5 days after committing and while still in high school Michael suffered a life changing injury which he was brave enough to discuss in some detail.

Michael was no stranger to bikes, but his passion was football however when this was taken away on a fateful September night he used the opportunity to pivot back to his early passion of two wheel and now more specifically trials thanks to some encouragement from his Dad.

Michaels uncle was a former trials rider and as you will hear he now live 5 mins from Pat Smage and makes use of the Smage compound for his training and event gets some training from the entire Smage family as well.

Michael spoke with great poise and was able to reflect on a very turbulent time but how he has come out the other side with a positive attitude and a strong competitive spirit continue progressing up the grades. He's even tried his hand at a Hard Enduro.

Ladies & gentlemen, I give you my chat with Michael Lois.

E98: Paul Arnott - A chat with the man behind The Hell Team & the COVID supply chain disruptions to the trials industry

Thursday, December 2, 2021 • Duration 01:01:15

Today we speak with Paul Arnott, the man behind The Hell Team. Having spoken to Paul about this interview a long while back it was good to finally get around to do it. Paul was our first sponsor for this podcast and had absolutely no hesitation in signing up.

I've dealt with Paul a bit as a consumer from the Hell Team but pretty much everyone in trials I know has dealt with him as well.

We hear about how the Hell Team got started, and the various false starts with being importing thanks to brands not surviving of events life the GFC.

We discuss the hectic life of an importer when you are running world rounds and the crazy story of using a catering oven to do a main bearing when you are out supporting international riders far away from your workshop.

We talk through the people Paul has met along the way and the relationships he has built over time and how those relationships have paid dividends when needed.

I'd also like to take this opportunity on behalf of all the riders Paul has sponsored and supported along the way, in particular helping with Aussie riders when travelling to Europe...I know it means a lot.

Ladies & gentlemen, I give you my chat with Paul Arnott.
