Summary

Russ Pierre is just one of those guys that's a pleasure to sit and chat with. Russ and I met at Freedom Ride back in July and I just knew I had to get him on the podcast. Russ was one of the founders of Upgrade Bikes and witnessed first hand the formation of DMR back in 1995. He has also worked as a professional surf photographer and helped rehabilitate veterans suffering with PTSD. Russ is currently writing a book called The Trailhead Project which documents the effects mountain biking can have on living a healthy lifestyle physically and mentally.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Hooket podcast. But before we

0:07.5

drop in on this episode, I want to share with you some news and we also have a giveaway.

0:13.8

Ooh, I am super excited to have just put out the Winter Defiance Handbook. Winter sucks, right? So let's be honest,

0:23.5

2020 has been unique. It's been stressful. It's been uninspiring and you've been subject to a

0:29.8

couple of dudes talking total waffle week on week. Throughout the year, we've been told to stay

0:35.8

indoors, and Chris stay away from my family and friends,

0:38.3

and potentially lost somebody close to us. And now there's less daylight. It's cold, it's wet,

0:43.7

and motivation sinks to an all-time low. So, I have created the Winter Defines Handbook,

0:50.7

and I want this handbook to help raise some winter stoke motivate you inspire others

and have some fun along the way. The Winter Defiance Handbook contains 250 challenges and is broken

1:02.1

down into seven categories to help you stay physically fit, mentally stimulated, step outside

1:07.8

your comfort zone and plenty of time to get cozy and just chill indoors too.

1:12.6

There's 50 riding challenges, 50 fitness challenges, 50 random challenges, 25 podcast recommendations,

1:19.9

25 book recommendations, 25 must-watch mountain bike and action sports films and 25 iconic movies.

Each week, we're also going to be doing a giveaway that relates to the challenges over on the podcast Instagram at the Hookit podcast.

1:36.1

We've got some special guests stepping into to put out some bonus challenges throughout

1:40.2

the winter months. And of course, the handbook is totally free to download.

1:45.5

You can get it over on the Hookit product's website, hkatoproducts.co.uk, and you'll see a

1:52.9

link at the top of the page to get yours. Then just download it and put it somewhere in the house

1:57.7

where you can't avoid it. Most importantly, though, I want this to be immersive.

2:05.5

I want it to be engaging.

2:06.7

I want to see and hear your progress.
