Meet the Guest-Next Chapter: Erick 'Big E' Bartoldus

Erick "Big E" Bartoldus began his journey with dirt bikes before transitioning to BMX racing, where his passion and skills quickly set him apart. Touring and conducting clinics with  Todd "TC" Corbitt, he immersed himself in the BMX scene, sharing his expertise and inspiring riders across the country. As the manager of the Power Light BMX team under the GT brand, Erick focused on building the right team culture and environment, emphasizing the importance of developing lifelong friendships and surrounding oneself with supportive people. His leadership style not only shaped the success of his teams but also left a lasting impact on the athletes he mentored, including bringing BMX riders like Jeremy McGrath into the world of motocross.Erick ’s career extended beyond BMX, as he made significant contributions at Answer, recruiting top riders like Ernesto Fonseca, and played a pivotal role in connecting Ryan Dungey with Roger DeCoster at KTM, a move that would shape Dungey’s successful career. His long tenure at Yoshimura Racing is a testament to his commitment to doing things the right way and treating people well in the industry. Throughout his journey, Eric has always prioritized building a positive culture and fostering strong relationships, making him a respected figure in both BMX and motocross communities.Join me for a great conversation with Big E! Coach Robb's Resources (articles, videos, etc.) about health, wellness and performance: ► https://www.coachrobb.com/ ► Resources such as the 2-Week Food Challenge, Sweat Rate Calculator, and Body Measurement Spreadsheet, click here: https://coachrobb.activehosted.com/f/25 Coach Robb's Exclusive Exercise and Recovery Products (designed by Coach Robb):► Energy Fuel (Intensity and Duration Specific Sports Drink):            https://www.coachrobbstore.com/energy-fuel-products/Coach Robb's Suggested Vitamins & Minerals: ► Nutritional Frontiers Supplements (Developed and Recommended Supplements of Coach Robb)        https://www.coachrobbstore.com/nutritional-bundles/Coach Robb's Snacks, Smoothies and Meal Resources:Coach Robb's Healthy Meals, Smoothies and Snack Recipe Books available in print and digital formats on Coach Robb Store and Amazon.► Healthy Meals ► Smoothie Recipes ► Snack Recipes Coach Robb's Educational Bundles:► Nutrition for Weight Loss Educational Bundle     https://www.coachrobbstore.com/product/weight-loss-educational-bundle/► Nutrition for Performance Educational Bundle     https://www.coachrobbstore.com/product/fueling-performance-educational-bundle/
