Today’s show is with Aaron Chase. Befitting to his name, Aaron has lived his life on his bike, culminating in a 20 year professional riding career. He started off as a downhill racer but quickly emerged at the forefront of the free riding circuit before settling on mountain bikes while creating a ton of his own content. He spent over a decade and a half with sponsors such as Cannondale, GoPro, and RedBull, traveling the world and doing amazing tricks and stunts on his bike.
During the show we discuss how he got to where he was and how in 2007, an injury that left him with a broken back, almost took it all away. We get into the reinvention of his pro game after having a 7 inch rig of screws and bolts installed into his back (that he later had removed and literally takes out during the show folks!). We talk about how he has used plant medicine to deal with his chronic pain and how it helped him lengthen his career. We talk about hanging it up after 20 plus years and what the future holds. He tells me of his plans to be a part of a new community in the smoky mountains of Tennessee where he will be charged with creating a sweet bike park and driving outdoor recreation.
This was an amazing episode to see how someone took their passion from a young age and made it into their career. If you love something and you are talented at it - never let anyone hold you back!
