Theo Erlangsen could be the most positive person in mountain biking and, with very good reason. On this episode of The Ride Companion Theo Erlangsen joins Olly and Davi to talk about growing up in South Africa, discovering mountain biking and how DarkFest changed his entire career. Theo also talks about living in a van for most of the year, what it means to be a 'freeracer', the differences between Red Bull Hardline and World Cup downhill, YouTube and of course the Monster Energy girls summit and much much more...
