Lean Into Your Life (AND the Downhill): Christsonthy Drellos, Blue Sky MTB

Today we’re going to try to break this arctic freeze streak we've been stuck in lately with a blast of FIRE from my guest, Christsonthy Drellos of Blue Sky MTB.Christsonthy is the powerhouse mountain biking coach and instructor that Trish and I went on and on about back in the September 16th episode, when we recapped our amazing Vertical experience. If you are even vaguely interested in mountain biking OR fly fishing, I recommend you go back and listen to that one, so that I can make sure you come with us and amplify the fun for next year’s Vertical event!And if you are slightly MORE than vaguely interested in mountain biking, you will love this conversation with Christsonthy. She is a certified mountain bike instructor and coach, and a positive force of nature.Like, every sentence on her website ends in an exclamation point, and she’s smiling ear to ear in every picture you’ll see.But that is entirely her persona - she and Blue Sky MTB bring the fun, whether to her base in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, or her winter home trails in Knoxville, Tennessee.Christsonthy drops some great technique tips and gear recommendations, and her laugh is infectious, so drop on into this episode and get airborne with Christsonthy Drellos of Blue Sky MTB! And of course, make sure to follow Christsonthy @blueskymtb.A sampling of the things we talk about (come on over to the Guides Gone Wild website to see the rest!):Vertical Kingdom Trails - Sidewinder Trail (side note, we all need to tell Christsonthy to do some POV videos on her favorite Kingdom Trails for YouTube next summer so I can replace this bruh video with her!)What is enduro racing?Transition Women’s Weekend East - Angi WestonHighland Women’s WeekendVillage Sport Shop (Lyndonville, VT)Appalachian Mountain Bike Club (Knoxville, TN)Ergon GripsSwiftwick Socks
