    Nov 5 2024
    Today, we’re joined by one of 2024’s breakout stars, Lachie Stevens-McNab. After narrowly missing the win in Poland, claiming third in Leogang, and finishing just 0.06 seconds from victory in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Lachie has become one of the year’s most talked-about riders.

Despite setbacks from serious back-to-back injuries, he’s finally hitting his stride this season. Hear how Lachie pushed through challenges, how Loic Bruni’s influence shaped his path, and what it took for him to break into the top tier. There’s plenty to learn from this laidback rising star.

  • From Beginner to World Cup MTB Racer: Sian A’Hern’s Journey
    Oct 29 2024
    Today, we’re diving into an incredible story of resilience and drive with YT Mob’s own Sian A’Hern. From a total skeptic about mountain biking to racing at Nationals - and then World Cups - all within a couple of years, Sian’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing; she’s faced multiple injuries, each time coming back stronger. We explore her mental strategies, the tools she relies on to stay focused, and how she’s overcoming the feeling of getting too comfortable since achieving her dream of making it onto a factory team. Sian’s outlook on life and bikes is contagious, and there's a lot to learn from her story. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Sian A'Hern. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Sian on Instagram @sianahern.
