Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Pink Bike podcast. I'm Mike Levy,

your usual host for these things. And if you open up the Pink Bike homepage right now,

you're probably going to see a bunch of enduro bikes, some trail bikes, maybe a few cross-country bikes.

It was Whistler opening weekend, so you're definitely going to see a few downhill

bikes.

One thing you're not going to see much of, though, hard tails.

And every time we mention riding a hardtail, we get a bunch of pinkers asking for

way more of them. So here we are.

We're going to do an entire podcast about hardtails, despite the fact that my intern,

Mike Kazimer, absolutely hates them. I don't know what that guy's problem is.

If we had an electric hardale, maybe he'd like it. I think he would. I think that's the key.

Has he tested an e-bite cartel yet? I don't think so. Okay, well, we'll have to... I think that would

make him even matter than normal. Yeah. Perfect. Caz isn't here, so we're going to beat up on him the

entire podcast. Yeah. Well, he's going to join us. He's going to join us for our hardtail discussion, which will be great to have him on board

for that.

But first, we've got Tom Bradshaw here.

Tom, if you don't know Tom, Tom's from New Zealand.

He's a relatively new hire.

And he just did this silly 30-day.

I'm going to ride a hardtail because I don't like myself

much challenge that we posted a video of. Tom Bradshaw from New Zealand, I want you to give me

three words that describe that month of riding a heart tail in the Ced Sky corridor.
