    Scoring a big win was once all you needed to do to secure a pay cheque, but things are a little different now.

    Over the years, mountain biking has diversified massively. From the original Repack mates’ races to the Olympics Games. From balancing on North Shore skinnies to hucking off cliffs at Red Bull Rampage, along with every other type of riding in between. Each of these different aspects of the sport has been thrust into the spotlight thanks to the events it spawned.   Hosts Rob Weaver and Tom Marvin rope in MBUK editor James Costley-White to give us a rundown of the events they think helped to define the disciplines and riding categories that make up mountain biking as we know it today.   Learn more about your ad choices.

    Many riders will take their ultra-capable trail bike for granted, but there was a time when the do-it-all full-suspension machine didn’t exist… or at least, not as we know them today. Trail bikes have come a seriously long way, but how did they get to where they are now and which bikes helped inspire them?   John Oldale from Marin Bikes joins Rob Weaver and Tom Marvin to talk through some of the bikes they feel contributed to the rise of the trail bike, inspiring how they evolved and also, how they’re ridden.   Learn more about your ad choices.

    From time to time, a rider will get between the tape and change the sport forever.
