Paul Basagoitia Launches Rise and Ride Podcast

Providing valuable insight and guidance into overcoming life obstacles, each Rise and Ride guest brings unique experiences and perspectives to the show. In the premiere episode, Rise and Ride goes deep into the world of spinal cord injuries with action sports mega-agent Tarek Rasouli, while exploring the intricacies of executing massive competitive events like the RedBull District Ride. Paul and Tarek examine the evolution of slopestyle mountain biking over the years and discuss Tarek's take on the top freeriders in the sport.

“I want to share how others have navigated challenges, helping to reveal their vulnerabilities so that we can all be motivated to learn, grow and conquer our own barriers,” said Basagoitia, a Crankworx Joyride champion and spinal cord injury survivor.

Episode two goes straight to the top of the podium in today’s slopestyle competitions with 13- time Crankworx champion Emil Johansson, fresh off his latest Crankworx Joyride victory.

While many guests in the initial episodes stem from the cycling world, Basagoitia’s goal is to expand the guest list to athletes in other disciplines as well as musicians, actors, and more.

A premium audio and video studio production, Rise and Ride releases bi-weekly and is available on popular platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
