‘Yeet’ & Greet Podcast.
We started sitting down with the younger racers, turned on the microphones, and it was so fun we decided to share. Channeling a little Shawn Spomer, “Hello Mountain Bikers”, please enjoy our version of the Inside Line…
Yeet & Greet - Tobin Walker
Tobin Walker is one of our top Junior Expert Racers, Coaches and Mentors. Tobin had a great interview all about riding, racing, and heading to his first World Cup!

Yeet & Greet - Nolan & Torin - 12 year old shredders!
Nolan and Torin are dedicated members of the GGR team and the mountain bike community. Nolan was one of the original recruits to the team. The first thing people notice about him is his smile - he is one happy kid. He brought in his buddy Torin - a shredder with a quick wit, huge personality and a million questions. Both boys are always up for riding their bikes, digging, and generally being outside!
You can follow them @emafraz and you can’t really follow Nolan - but you can follow his older brother!
Yeet & Greet - Cleo, Charlie & Emilie - U10 Medium Sized Downhill Shredder Ladies
Cleo, Charlie and Emilie are the medium and smaller sized shredding ladies on GGR. With 28 combined years of age, 18 of that biking, and 9 years of racing, they have packed in a ton of experience they share on the podcast. Wether you need snack ideas, tips on being a good teammate, handling stress, victory, defeat, and why join a race team, they have you covered. They were super fun to talk with!

Yeet & Greet - Andrew Cavaye & Eric Olsen FANATIK Enduro Team Season Recap
Local Enduro Pros Andrew Cavaye & Eric Olsen join for a recap of 2021! The boys are heading to EWS next year - in the meantime they are filming, riding, training, and helping out GGR as coaches. It is no surprise that there is a great deal of brand overlap between the FANATIK Enduro Team and who help Galbraith Gravity Racing. The vibe same vide permeates the shared effort to have a great time riding bikes! So thank you to all the sponsors that keep Eric and Andrew on two wheels - they are sharing that knowledge with the kids, so by extension you are helping the team - Thanks!

Yeet and Greet - Eric Olsen Enduro Racer and MTB Coach!
Local Enduro Pro Eric Olsen joins a race dad for great conversion. Eric says, “I haven’t found a better way to make friends than riding my bike.” He takes us through wearing the USA Team Colors, why mountain bikes, how yelling at people is great way to make friends, and generally shares his love for the sport. Eric is a great mentor to the kids, and for anyone thinking of starting a bike company, Eric somehow managed to get a company in China to make him some prototype frames - stick around the story! Sponsored by Forbidden, Fox, and FANATIK Bike. If you want to get some great cornering practice in - come ride with Eric. . You can follow him @eso.photo on Instagram. Thank you to the sponsors that help pros like Eric ride with the team!
Yeet and Greet - Jonah Brinkerhoff JR EX Enduro Racer
Jonah Brinkerhoff is a Jr Ex Enduro Rider that volunteers to help get the younger racers, CAT III and CAT II racers up to speed. Laid back - he helps the kids keep it fun and fresh on the trail.
Yeet and Greet - Brandon and JT - The Fisher Twins
Brandon and JT Fisher are Jr EX Racers and Ride Leaders with Galbraith Gravity Racing. These two super fast twins share some great qualities, and you have to know which one is running a coil or air to tell them apart. At the same time, one leans Enduro, the other Downhill. They help our team Groms have something to aspire to, they keep it real for the younger racers, and always set the stoke level at 11. Sponsored by Transition, We Are One Composites, WTB and Fox, you can see them on the mountain all the time working towards dialing in speed and technique. You can follow them @jtmtb04 and @brandonfish3r on Instagram. The boys give some insights on how to spot a race dad (hit a little close to home here), the best things in life are simple - $12 Sleeping Bags and Costco Pizza, setting up suspension, and making sure you are a nice person. Send It Boys! Stoked to have you on the team!
