The inaugural Red Bull Hardline B.C. brought some of the world’s best downhill riders to Cypress Mountain for a race that left little room for error. From changing North Shore conditions and brutally technical sections to flats that cost riders their runs, the track kept fighting back. We sit down immediately after finals to break down the racing, Asa Vermette’s winning run, and the moments that shaped the day. Beyond the results, we get into what it’s like to see this track up close, how the...
With the 2026 World Cup downhill season wrapped up, A.J., Mike Ferrentino, and Pete look back on the final two rounds in Whistler and Lake Placid, sharing their experiences and discussing some of the stories that stood out. We get into how the racing has changed with limited practice and the end of protected-rider status, and what that means for riders trying to find their pace under pressure. A.J. shares his perspective from behind the camera at both events, from the spectator atmosphere in ...
Whistler just hosted its first-ever UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup, and a few hours after the final runs, Pete Roggeman, Mike Ferrentino, Uncle Dave, and Deniz Merdano sat down to unpack the weekend. We talk about how the new track actually rode, the roots and line choices that punished small mistakes, the huge gaps in the results, and the pressure of racing a World Cup on home soil. We also get into Asa Vermette’s win, Vali Holl’s continued run of form, some spectacular crashes, the ju...
Your kid wins a World Championship, and the whole world sees the highlights. What they don’t see is what happens behind the scenes: the nerves, the travel, the quiet moments between the races, and the reality of watching your child take risks at the highest level of the sport. For this episode of the NSMB Podcast, I’m joined by Ron Goldstone, father of two-time Elite Men’s Downhill World Champion Jackson Goldstone, just days before Jackson races the first-ever World Cup Downhill race where he...
A World Cup downhill track looks like pure speed on race day, but the real story is the years of scouting, digging, carrying rock, and second-guessing every corner so the world’s fastest riders can push the pace and the sport forward. I connected with Marty Gautry, Whistler Blackcomb’s bike park trail crew manager, to unpack how Whistler’s trails evolved from early, make-it-work machine builds into the modern “science” of jump shaping, landings, and high-traffic maintenance. Along the way, we...
A World Cup downhill doesn’t land in your backyard by accident. Wendy Robinson of Whistler Blackcomb joins us to share how Whistler’s first UCI Mountain Bike World Cup came together, from the earliest rumours to the decisions that made it real. We talk through how the 1199 Stevie Smith Tribute Track came together over the years: scouting an alignment in the Creekside zone, inviting elite athletes for track walks, and adjusting features, transitions, and line options based on pro rider feedba...
What if the trail that scares you most is the one that finally sets you free? We sit down with illustrator and writer Cy Whitling to chart a life that moved from a Christian nationalist upbringing in northern Idaho to the loamy corners of Bellingham, where bikes, art, and community remapped everything. Cy shares how a humble hardtail, a generous shop mentor, and a dog-eared Kona catalog cracked open a worldview built on fear. College layered in skiing, search and rescue, and daily contact wit...
Precision isn't just a goal for Abbey Tools founder Jason Quaid—it's a religion. From humble beginnings as a welder crafting nuclear-grade pressure vessels to becoming the creator of the cycling world's most coveted tools, Jason's journey exemplifies how passion and craftsmanship can transform an industry. The story begins with a simple phone call and a modified lockring tool that would become known as the "Crombie Tool." What started as a favor for a fellow race mechanic quickly evolved int...
