WHBP #10 - Divebombers Gonna Divebomb

This week, it's all about racing etiquette. Yelling "inside!" in corners, putting your hands on people, telling everyone around you to hold their line - Greg and mattio have opinions on all of these actions. Racing etiquette is about both safety and respect for you and your fellow competitors, how do we race hard and keep everyone safe, happy and having fun?

WHBP #8 - Never Entirely Appropriate

In a free-ranging, de-bourbonated edition of WHBP, the guys take on the clinchers v. tubulars "debate," undertaking some media criticism along the way. The conversation meanders its way around to the foibles of cantilever brakes in the mud and snow (spoiler alert: they don't work) before concluding with a heartwarming recounting of how a local racing scene comes together at a big regional event. Also, your 30-ish year-old hosts gripe about getting old and feeble.
