Steve Geall is a legend of the UK BMX and mountain bike scene and we're stoked to have him on The Ride Companion this week! During the podcast we discuss how Steve discovered BMX in the late 80's and competiting in the early competitions to became a National Champion. Steve talks about falling out of love with the BMX, buying his first mountain bike, turning pro on the Giant team and racing the first world cups. Steve also talks about being a stunt man on 101 Dalmations, why he still loves riding dirt jumps and all aspects of mountain biking and much more....
