RIDE BYND
RIDE BYND is more than just a podcast about motorcycles — it's a celebration of the passion, creativity, and untold stories of the people who ride them. Hosted by the co-founder of VΛHNΛ, Ben Giese dives into deep conversations with athletes, artists, adventurers, industry icons, and trailblazers from all walks of life—exploring the experiences that shape their journeys, both on and off the bike.
The motorcycle is our connection. The stories are what take us BYND.

Sammy Halbert — The Cost of Speed
Sammy Halbert is a flat track racing legend — a fierce competitor shaped by victory, tragedy, and resilience. He rose through the ranks quickly and found success early, but his story is marked by deep loss and powerful turning points, including the passing of his brother in a racing incident and the horrific crash years later that forced him to reevaluate his entire relationship with the sport. In this episode, we explore his rise, the emotional weight of those moments, and what keeps him lining up today — racing not for the spotlight, but for the pure love of the sport that has given him so much meaning and direction in life.
