Brraap Life

Nick and Tina, parents of up-and-coming hard enduro racer Keegan Heffelfinger, joined us to share their family's journey into dirt biking, Keegan's growth as a rider, and what the future might hold.This episode offers a unique perspective from behind the scenes as we explore what it's like raising a young racer, the dedication involved, and the excitement and challenges that come with supporting his passion for riding.It's clear that Keegan has an incredible support system behind him, and we loved hearing their side of the story!

Big ambitions start young, and Keegan Heffelfinger is putting in the work! A rider from PA, he is competing in the Super Mini class. He has gained experience racing local enduros and hare scrambles before taking on his first hard enduro at Battle of the Goats this year!After first crossing paths at Locked and Loaded in May, we had the opportunity to connect through Solid Performance, who currently supports Keegan. In this episode, we dive into his journey into riding and racing, the challenges of transitioning into hard enduro, and his determination to keep learning and improving.It's exciting to see the next generation of riders pushing themselves in such a demanding sport, and Keegan is just getting started!Check out the episode and let us know what you think!Dont forget to check out Keegans racing:https://www.instagram.com/keeganheff_10?srtk=MW1meDFzMHNvcXltYQ==

100 episodes calls for something special—and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than sitting down with Pennsylvania rider Thorn Devlin at Solid Performance!Trying to put Thorn into one category is nearly impossible. Six Days, Hard Enduro, GNCC, J Day, local enduro series—if it involves two wheels and dirt, there's a pretty good chance he's lined up for it.In this milestone episode, we go back to where it started: how Thorn first got into riding, 25 years in the AMA and more. We get into the miles and experiences that have taken him far beyond Pennsylvania and the perspective he's gained from experiencing the sport in so many different forms.This one is less about a single discipline or race result and more about what a lifetime on two wheels can look like when you're willing to try a little bit of everything.A huge thank you to Solid Performance for opening their doors to us during business hours and giving us the opportunity to do something a little different for Episode 100!
