​ Rich Payne and Fergus Ryan are back in the Dirt Shed, and they’ve got a bone to pick with Owen Coutts from GMBN Tech! We dive deep into Owen’s controversial take that riders should slow down rather than rely on body armour and full-face helmets. Plus, we’ve got the latest mountain bike news, a crash story, an Enduro legend retiring, and a fresh round of Hacks & Bodges.
