Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over

at blisterreview.com.

Okay, today we are talking Blister Labs once again, and joining me today is Greg Vanderbeek,

who is one of the very key people in this whole Blister Labs thing. And in this conversation,

Greg and I discuss his background, both his outdoor background and his engineering background.

And we then go on to talk about Blister Labs and the stuff that we're working on right now,

in particular on the mountain bike side of things.

So Greg sets up and discusses what our approach has looked like when it has come to bikes. And we then go into

specifically what it is that we have been working on on the mountain bike side of things

and where we hope to take that. And so that is what we have on tap for you in this conversation.

Now, just before we get started, I should say that this

morning, Friday, July 8th, we have just opened up registration for our next Blister Summit,

which will take place in Mount Crest's debut this coming February, 2023. We already have a number of

brands that have committed to being here at this next summit, and we are certain that a number

of other brands will be officially committing soon. And so we would encourage you, ahead and sign up for this thing because we do

expect that we will run out of spots this year for the summit. So if you really want to be there,

I would sign up now. We will include a link to the Blister Summit registration page in the show notes of this episode.

We are psyched for this third Blister Summit.

We are going to be doing some things a bit different this year, and we actually know it is

going to be bigger than ever, and I am very confident that it is going to be better than ever, too.

And that's saying something, because last year's was fantastic.
