Welcome to Get Vertical REAL TALK this is a V-Twin / Harley stunt riding podcast where you can meet some of the most influential heavy hitters in our industry. This isn't just shop talk, I like to dive into the real secrets of our niche.. you know, the things no one ever really likes to talk about. Insecurities, fears, drama and things that aren't usually posted on social media because it's not always the most glamourous. Go behind these guys' helmets and get to know who they really are. Most are much more humble than you think and in actuality this sport breaks you down and strips your ego away as soon as you gain traction. This sport and industry is not for everyone. Only the most mentally tough will survive. Find out who they are on the Get Vertical REAL TALK podcast, the one and only stunt riding dedicated podcast for our scene babyyyy
