In the days prior to the COVID-19 pandemic lock-down, mountain bikers from all over the world converged in Sedona, AZ for the Sedona MTB Festival. At the Festival, I was lucky enough to sit down with a couple legends of the sport.
Richie Schley is one of the pioneers of freeride mountain biking. Richie has graced the cover of countless magazines showing what is possible on a bike.
I have known Richie for several years now and surprisingly I didn't meet him while riding. I met Richie paddle board surfing in southern California.
In this interview, I get to know a bit more about Richie and he gives an insight on the sport and what he wants to be known for when he finally retires....his answer may surprise you.
You can follow Richie on:
Also go to Redbull TV to watch Richie in "The Moment" which shows how in the backwoods of British Columbia, Canada three crews of adventure seekers were quietly changing the course of a sport and carving their paths in history. It was all happening unbeknownst to each other, the cycling world and themselves.
