Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: https://gmbn.eu/DSS554

This week in the Dirt Shed Show, Rich Payne and Blake Samson talk about record-breaking WBD racing numbers, the paywall debate in MTB coverage, and what it all means for riders, fans, and the sport. We’ve also got Leadville 100 news, Downeyville results, and Crankworx Whistler kicking off! Plus, it’s a bittersweet one as we say goodbye to Blake in his final Dirt Shed Show after 9 incredible years at GMBN.
