Josh 'Loosedog' Lewis is one of the founding members of 50to01 and has been a big part of creating a focal point for a style of riding that has become synonymous with 50to01. We sat down last week to find out more about Josh. How did he find his way from racing to creating video. What lead to him making a living from it. How did 50to01 get started and where it’s going next. Josh’s path shows that following what you’re passionate about really can lead to some pretty amazing things. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Josh Lewis.

You can follow Josh on Instagram @loosedoglewis.

Find 50to01 on Instagram @50to01, on YouTube here and at their website 50to01.com.

The book that Josh mentioned is 'The Rise of the Superman' by Steven Kotler which is available here.

Supporting Partners

We Are One Composites

This episode is supported by We Are One Composites. We Are One have been big supporters of what I’m doing from the start, and for that I’m really grateful. They also make amazing carbon fibre wheels which are hand made in Canada. I’m running their Faction 29er rims on my bike, and they look and feel amazing. They’ve managed to find the sweet spot between stiffness and compliance, making a wheel that tracks, but doesn’t feel harsh to ride.

They’ve got a whole line up of products, so there is always something to suit your needs. Head to weareonecomposites.com and check out what they have to offer. If you’re tempted, then as a Downtime listener, they are offering you 15% off rim-only products during August. All you need to do is enter the code ‘wesupply2021‘ at the checkout.
