This week we’re sitting down with Manon Carpenter and Tommy Wilkinson to chat all about their new film project, 'Trails on Trial'. Find out how the project came about in the first place, and hear about their experiences as they travelled around the country to chat with trail builders and landowners. With rising user numbers across all outdoors groups, trail access is under more pressure than ever before. Manon and Tommy found some great examples of where mountain bikers have been able to work together with landowners to create incredible trails like those in the Tweed Valley. This is a really positive outlook on what can be done to keep our awesome wild trails up and running, with some really useful thoughts on what all of us can do to help. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode about 'Trails on Trial' with Manon and Tommy. You can watch the film over on YouTube here.

Supporting Partners earSHOTS EarSHOTS Bluetooth headphones have you covered for staying motivated while you train.  Their patented Magnetic ear clip solves the problem of earphones falling out or constantly dislodging and moving in your ear, so you can train without distraction. When riders like Wyn Masters and Sam Blenkinsop are using them, you know they must be good. I have had a set of earSHOTS for nearly a year and I’ve been really impressed. I’ve tried them with a couple of different helmets, over a mixture of terrain including some pretty rough rocky stuff and they really do stay in place.
