#TheRideCompanion #mountainbiking #mtb

All right so we’ve we’ve tried to do this a few times we’ve tried to release our exclusive news it’s exciting as well and kind of messed it up but not messed it up but like we’ve not quite done the thing properly the clip whatever it is

So I figured let’s just talk about it this podcast is the one this is the one to do it we’re sat together we’ve got this opportunity and Now’s the Time to do it we’re Midway through sports news what better to announce yeah something that’s really going to pull us

All together as a community all together as a community make all of the stuff we’re talking about now better dud play along imagine if as as a sports fan you could literally just go on a site sign up and then you just make your sport 20% better 20% better and 20% more exciting

Exactly so we’re launching a fantasy Mountain bik platform which is insane called the race companion thank the race companion that’s comp we teased it quite a bit now haven’t we yeah a little bit I think we have teased it a little bit a few people managed to find the Instagram

Account but yeah at the race companion where you can keep up to date with some news but obviously the main thing to do is head to the race companion.com where you can sign up for Early Access Early Access indeed and access to what Davey access may I ask the fantasy sports

Platform what is a fantasy sports platform so you can play along you can build a team it’s like a traditional fantasy Sports website so you can go on you can build your team up and you can play against your friends you can play in the global league for some pretty

Epic prizes dud this sounds this sounds like it’s going to cost a lot yeah it it should cost a lot yeah but the best thing about it OE go on it’s free to play that’s right it’s free to play mate and you can win sick prizes and stuff so

Yeah so this just to give some context to this uh came around a while ago really we’ve been working on it behind the scenes for about six months give or take yeah so yeah we had um you know this pink bike did fantasy and we had a fantasy league on

There which ended up somehow being the biggest league on pink bike and then when pink bike didn’t do it uh for whatever reason I don’t know uh someone’s built one that we now work with and we B Curtis yeah big up Curtis we’ve put our Twist on it big up Curtis

We’ve put our Twist on it we put our branding on it you’ve done some sick branding for it we’ got some of our sponsors involved but Ely the main thing is every episode of the podcast we do when it’s when we can yeah we’re going to do a little segment called the race

Companion abut we’re going to do some picks we’re going to do some stats we’re going to talk downhill we’re going to be better at it than we are today I’m really excited for it because it’s like a posit I just feel like it’s going to

Make this Race season what we need is a bit of positivity we do need positivity we need Community positivity Absolut companionship priz and you can you can go on there you can create Leagues with all your friends so you can play Just against friends or you can play in the

Global league so so just to refresh my memory from the last time I played fantasy yeah which was on pink bike in our R companion fantasy league on the race companion you’re going to be given what a sum of pretend money a budget a budget and then you have to build your

Team okay and each Rider will individually have a different price yes so the better Riders will be more expensive but then the game really is to find the hidden gems isn’t it it’s to find the ones that are maybe you know making big progression through the season yeah Preston Williams might be a

Good shout I don’t know but he could be great example he’s not going to be too expensive but yet there’s a probability that he’s going to win one like it I like it know we just throw out there it’s yeah so it’s it I’m trying to think

Of examples from last year that were like yeah wild cards good good yeah uh oh yes yes she um for sure yeah great example would have gone you would have made really good points on that great points and then the more points you accumulate the closer you can get to

Winning prizes for each individual race yeah yet to be secured and also a prize at the end the big prize the overall the overall the big prize yet to be secured but there is going to be an epic prize yeah there going to be a day with us the

Podcast but there’s also going to be other games on there so we’re going to work with crank Works to put a crank Works downhill race series together dude the possibilities are endless the possibilities are endless yeah so it’s going to be fun it makes biking more fun

Chat on there with your friends and hang out so yeah St I’m up for it it’s good I think like I think there is a difference when you have a horse in a race there is a difference yeah I tell you what I notice it the most if um like when

Bren’s not racing all my all my childhood growing up we’ve always had that reason to watch the race and like and that and burnard and like when I have friends in the race and they’re doing well it’s really exciting isn’t it yeah way better so now we can just have

Fantasy friends and we can all have fantasy horses in the race all have hes in the race so yeah Stokes I’m really excited about it I mean it’s been a lot of work believe it or not behind the scenes but these things are not easy to build apparently so I’m really ex

Excited to First build our team we should build our teams on air oh I like it shouldn’t we we should do it whe whether it’s with a in a podcast or whether it’s a separate video it would be quite fun or we could come in with

Our teams and discuss them and why we’ve chose them that’s true and then we could have the companionship maybe comment 1 below or yeah whatever I think I need to I think I need to be like w it’s difficult isn’t it to have like friendship band list yeah I don’t I

Think I it’s more fair for just I have to just pick yeah yeah the budget makes it good anyway the budgets for sure yeah so um yeah I’m stoked man I’m really excited it’s going to be fun it’s going to be a fun thing that we’re going to grow organically with the companionship
