For this episode MTB Ben is joined by one of his regular riding buddies, Josh Fleming.

Josh and Ben discuss their shared love for finding features out on the trail to session and build up their skills, helping them progress as riders. Josh shares his theory of mastering the 2-Cs, Control and Confidence and how only through practicing those is he ready to concure more difficult terrain.

They also discuss riding bikes with their boys and how their joy of continued practice and progression on the bike has helped them in their efforts to teach August and Elwood how to ride. They share in the joy their boys have when celebrating accomplisments on the bike.

Finally, Josh and Ben discuss mixed surface riding and Ben's Wednesday Night RAFR's (Ras As F*#$ Rides) which will be making a come back this spring. Partially inspired by Endless Bike Co's sticker "I'd rather be rad than fast", the Wed Night RAFRs are a go anywhere, on anybike, with everyone and anyone style bike ride.
