The Short Travel Magazine Podcast

Ep. 19 – Nino everywhere, VDP/WVA/PID losing steam?, Canyon is killing it, 3 wheel sizes?

That's right, Nino Shurter seems to be the topic of many videos as of late, and can these multi-discipline racers really do it all? Seems maybe not. Ditching AXS for mechanical shifting, Canyon increasing sales when everyone else seems to be shrinking, crazy wheel sizes at the Olympics, and a bunch more.

Ep. 18 - PFP is fat? Horrible races, MBA Magazine a bust?

PFP is back racing it seems, and a race report of a fat bike competition gone all wrong. Mountain Bike Action magazine has abandonded XC entirely, 1991 memories, and stop with the gift lists!

Ep. 17 - Iceman Ruled, Brandau? Remember her? Silca on my radar.

XC Eliminator racing? Is that still a thing? Are the Black Friday deals worth it? Elite racer Elisabeth Brandau from Germany, what happened to her? Dangerholm has jumped the shark, Silca is cool, all kinds of random stuff...and a quick summary of a great race weekend up in Michigan.

Ep. 16 - Bike Industry Doomed!, Blevins + Greece, Holmgren hot, studs for the win!

Another round of doom and gloom for the bike industry is upon us it seems. Who else is going down the toilet? And what can be done to a bike if a race is going to be muddy? Sram Transmission wheel changes, the World Cup Schedule is weird, old racing stuff is odd, and all kinds of good XC info in this one.

Ep. 15 - Mtb HOF, Wiggle/CRC bankrupt, Pidcock in 25th?

Random XC goodness this week. Ingrid components out of Italy, Supercaliber nonsense? Iceman disaster story, Puck still killing it, Little Sugar 100K, Jose Ulloa gone for 18 mos...and more.

Ep. 14 - Mont St.Anne a wrap. PUCK!!! Talkin’ crap about Trek, Mud Fests.

Lots of racing talk this time. Mont St. Anne is a wrap, great racing. Luca Schwarzpower's test bike is probably the real thing, even some mention of, gulp, Tyler Hamilton...most definitely NOT a XC racer.

Ep. 13 - Snowshoe was awesome! Bike checks suck, Nino #9, and more

Did Rebecca Henderson really graduate from Harvard? Is GCN lying? Cannondale has cool new paint, but I had that same paint 30 years ago, Puck rules, Joland is gonna rule, and more Snowshoe chats.

Ep. 12 - 2001 full of dopers? Flat bar gravel bikes for XC? Mavic are back...

Are XC racers getting older and older? Apple sponsoring a bike team, using flat bar gravel bikes for xc racing...Olympic test event come and gone, Snowshoe is here, can the U.S. riders hit the top steps? and all kinds of other XC related news.

Ep.11 - Mech shifters making a comeback? Baywatch XC? Iceman Cometh again, and way more.

The final fate of the world champ's course revealed, and yes even Baywatch got into the mtb scene in 1993, 3 hour World Cup races, Keegan Swenson doesn't win every race after all, the Olympic test event is upon us and some killer mechanical shifters that might make me ditch my AXS...

Ep. 10 - Les Gets USA Mania, Mona Mona Mona, Yeti C-26/Tomac...

Great weekend of racing in France, even without full participation from PFP, Neff, Nino and a few others. The US ladies kicked butt, Koretzky absolutely killed it, and some talk about a killer new video posted about Tomac and Zapata Espinoza, and the history of the Yeti C-26.
