A mountain bike pioneer in the 1990s, Tippie was at the forefront of the freeride movement, introducing a new genre of mountain biking uninterested in race results, but pushing the limits of what was possible on a bike. Brett became one of the world’s first fully professional freeriders and has seen the sport grow beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.
Freeride is a mountain bike discipline encompassing almost every element of mountain biking you can imagine: speed, style, jumps, drops and so much more. And Brett was right there at the beginning.
An infectious character, Rob and Eliot have been determined to welcome Brett to Just Ride since the podcast’s inception – and of course, he didn’t disappoint. Chatting to the guys in Whistler, Canada, Tippie provided his typical energy, three wigs, a test on British Columbia animals and a glimpse into the deeper side of life.
Sober for 14 years, Brett spoke about addiction, happiness, and his current life working with his sponsors and in the media. He also told the guys some jokes. A lot of jokes.
