Ed Masters on The 2022 Season, Team Dynamics, Rule Changes, & More
from Bikes & Big Ideas
Ed Masters is always good for an entertaining story — and his recap of his extremely wild Vallnord race run from earlier this year is reason enough to tune into this episode. But Ed also has a whole lot of insights to offer into what makes a race season come together; how he approaches race day — on both the Enduro and DH bikes; the delicate balance of risk vs. reward and where to push the limit; and the importance of consistency and stability for a successful team. So we get into all of that, plus the upcoming management of World Cup DH by ESO and the pending rule changes; some of our favorite moments from the 2022 season; mentoring up-and-coming talent; and much more.TOPICS & TIMES:Hitting the reset button after 2021Goal setting for 2022Finn Iles’ Mont Sainte Anne runBernard Kerr & Pivot Factory RacingThe “extra 0.5%”Race tacticsFearEd’s wild Vallnord runRisk vs. reward & taking chancesESO & the 2023 seasonUp-and-coming riders on PivotTeam dynamics & staying looseRELATED LINKS:BLISTER+Blister Summit 2023Become a Blister MemberBlister LabsThis Week’s Gear GiveawayBlister Mountain Bike Buyer’s GuideOUR OTHER PODCASTSOff The CouchGEAR:30Blister PodcastCRAFTED Hosted on Acast.
