This was a fun one for me, Brian and I raced BMX in the same era with much different outcomes lol. Brian became the back to back #1 Pro in 82 and 83 and I ended up selling bikes for a living :). Brian's success was no accident, his older brother Brent paved the way in many ways. Brent also had an amazing career and they were both inducted into BMX Hall of Fame in 1988. The two of them made up the most dominant siblings in the sports history. Brian shares stories from his illustrious career, including his time as a top pro rider, what it is like to win a car while still in High School, the creation of Patterson Racing Frames and the Patterson Factory Team, his retirement from the sport and also how he still supports BMX to this day. Brent and Brian leave a tremendous legacy, and it was an absolute honor having Brian on the podcast. Hope you enjoy!

Gravel Racing Hall of Famer Yuri Hauswald returns to the podcast, to discuss his recent decision to come out of retirement to tackle Unbound Gravel again. This time for a charity endeavor called "Chase the Race", Yuri will start the grueling 200-mile race dead last and try to pass as many racers as possible, all while bringing his legendary stoke to all he comes into contact with. His goal is to raise money for a bike park and bike infrastructure in Emporia, a city that has meant so much to him in his career. We also discuss his 2023 induction into the Gravel Racing Hall of Fame and his storied history with Unbound that dates back to 2013 including the 2015 victory of the Dirty Kanza (now Unbound Gravel).

Yuri's motivations for returning to racing are rooted in his passion for the gravel community and giving back. As he once said "The midwestern hospitality that everyone speaks of is absolutely a thing at Unbound". Hope you all enjoy this one as much as I did.

In this episode we talk to Priority Bicycle owner Connor Swegle. Connor and his partner Dave Weiner are both from the Bay Area. In pretty short order they have gone from a Kickstarter concept to a full blown bike brand. Connor shares how he met his now business partner in college and how they set out with pretty modest goals initially. I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you do as well.
