Episode 4 - Damian Stones - Trusting the process, lessons from McGazza, the power of pump tracks and more!

January 27, 2022 • Jake Johnstone • Season 1 • Episode 4

In this episode, I sit down with Damian Stones.

Damian is a professional MTB Guide, instructor, and pump track builder extraordinaire!

With a long and wide-ranging career and life revolving around bikes, Damian has an incredible amount of wisdom to share, and a deep understanding of the processes behind progressing on a bike.

Highlights of mine include hearing about the making of his multi-sport backcountry adventure films & his days spent building, riding, and learning with the legendary Kelly McGarry (McGazza).

You can find Damian @Damian Stones on Instagram or on his website https://www.damianstones.nz/ where you will find his films 'Butters - skip the gym and go digging' and 'Waiau-toa odyssey' among others.
