Feb 18, 2026
Ainsley's Angels

Episode 62 brings the heart, the history, and the humor. Rooster and Joe reflect on the 10 year anniversary of Ainsley’s passing, the launch of the “10 Years Later” video series, and the legacy that continues to grow. They welcome special guest Teri Durrin — the beloved “Chair Lady” of Adaptive Star — to talk about her family’s Marine Corps roots, the evolution of adaptive equipment, and a huge announcement: Adaptive Star is officially sponsoring the Ainsley’s Angels Charity Tent at the Marine Corps Marathon. It’s an episode full of emotion, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes magic that keeps our riders rolling.
