Hans shares candid stories of unexpected encounters, from cruising on an ebike with a U.S. President to collaborating with icons like Tony Hawk, Matt Hoffman, and Rodney Mullen, all while navigating the complexities of the TV industry. Plus, we get his unfiltered take on the modern mountain biking scene, his thoughts on the rise of ebikes, and his insights into the current state of MTB media.
