Tom Isted is back in The Ride Companion studio! Tom Isted sits down with Olly and Davi to talk about growing up in Cornwall and transitioning from BMX to MTB.

He reveals what his second run at Red Bull Rampage would have looked like and Tom wraps up by talking about his plans for 2025 and much more...
