This week, I’m joined by Sean Leader. Sean has been a driving force behind developing the riding scene on the east coast of America, and along with Neko Mulally is the man behind Windrock Bike Park. We sat down to find out more about Sean’s own race career where he competed at a high level in many disciplines, we chat about how investing has helped him live the kind of lifestyle he wants, what it took to build the track for the Snowshoe world cup and plenty more.

You can follow Sean on Instagram @seanleader or Windrock @windrockbikepark

The trail tools that Sean mentions in the episode can be found at roguehoe.com
