TPM Episode 441: Bas van Steenbergen, Pro Biker

Bas van Steenbergen has been a dual threat on his mountain bike for over a decade.  Part racer and part freerider, Bas has the rare ability to compete at the highest level in both disciplines.  While that's cool, his story is even better. Growing up overseas with his equally as rad little brother Tom, Bas, raced BMX until he moved to Canada and bought a mountain bike. And while he got on a big bike later than most, that didn't stop him and the rest is history.  On the podcast, we talk about the status of the bike industry, sponsorship, Downhill, Rampage, content and more. Little brother Tom van Steenbergen asks the Inappropriate Questions.
