  • What does it take for ex-NFL athletes to redefine a healthy lifestyle and take on something as foreign as riding a mountain bike? Kawika and Amani took a leap this year, and are working to inspire and motivate other athletes post career. In this episode we look at Kawika and Amani's backgrounds and watch them learn to ride a MTB comfortably as they step onto a whole new type of playing field.

    Kawikas crash is a GREAT reminder why I wear gloves on every single ride. 😵

      I think the ground was a little sore after that, too. He's a big guy and knows how to hit 🙂

      I agree. Something special that you guys have created here. Maybe because I’m a mtber. I told my wife that I want the whole family to watch all the seasons with me.

    Huge opportunity for a glove sponsor to step up and say, we’re going to make sure that next season’s riders on FTGU are going to be wearing and protected by our gloves.

    As a big guy (209#s) there is nothing I love more than seeing other big guys on bikes, even though it’s hard I love it & want other guys to love it to ❤🎉

    That was a big "get off" that Kawika had, got up and kept going. Hard man.

    I wonder why they have fairly new MTBers riding trails without gloves, knee and elbow pads.

      Learning how to ride the bike well at skills camp in a safe place and allowing progression towards Leadville is the goal.
