Friction Country and Lieutenant Tangle | E96
It’s peak dust season in Lake Tahoe and the trails are blown out with no precipitation in sight. Pow Bot is using his mountain bike as a drying rack for his wetsuit while Trail Whisperer goes to a Reno Aces game and cringes when he hears Sweet Caroline. The boys talk about new trails like Pines to Mines and Beckwourth Peak, pay respects to the life of Guy Eriksen, name some favorite pre-shred soundtracks, DOPE or DERP blasting that music in the parking lot while putting your ski boots on and DOPE or DERP quitting your job when ski or surf conditions are firing. Pow Bot introduces the concept of “Friction Country” – places that retain their unspoiled character because they are hard to get to and comment on the latest South Park episode about kids terrorizing neighborhoods on e-bikes. And a friendly reminder from Start Haus to get your ski gear tuned now before El Niño arrives!
