This episode is about grassroots riding, racing, and some key things for the progression of your riding. I yarn with Ben about his development as a mountain biker and how that has shaped what he tries to give back to the community. Based in Alexandra, Ben now rips at Matangi Station and helps with a club race series for the community through summer among other things.
