146: Is Specializing In One Discipline Killing Your Riding? | Dirt Shed Show
Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: https://gmbn.eu/DSS545
This week on the GMBN Dirt Shed Show, we’re asking the big question: what makes the ultimate mountain biker? Is it the jack-of-all-trades like Ryan Gilchrist and Jordy Scott at Crankworx, or the master of one like Loic Bruni in downhill? We’ll also be looking at the latest MTB news, announcing our Camelbak winners, checking out your Hacks & Bodges, and of course, diving into the Bike Vault!
