  • The Shaping and Evolution of Mountain Bike Racing ​ and Events, a Tribute to Ed Zink
    Channel Mastery Podcast, Episode #108: The Shaping and Evolution of Mountain Bike Racing ​ and Events, A Tribute to Ed Zink www.channelmastery.com Kristin: Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Channel Mastery podcast. This is a very special episode today in honor of Ed Zink. I am a 25-year Durango, Colorado resident, and Ed passed on October 11th from complications of a heart attack. Too young. I have the honor today of having Gaige Sippy, who is the current Director of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, another longtime Durango resident, and Ned Overend, world champ mountain bike racer of the cross country variety and many other accolades. I know many of you know Ned. He is also a sports marketing and product development support person at Specialized. Hopefully I introduced you correctly, Ned, because you have a lot of titles. Ned Overend: Those work. Kristin: Okay, great. Welcome to both of you. I'm so grateful to have you on the show here today to talk about Mountain Bike Specialists, to talk about how Ed Zink created community and created massive impact through community to really grow cycling, mountain biking, trail advocacy, so many things. This is really just an episode to honor an incredible independent bicycle dealer in Ed Zink, And that was only one thing that he accomplished, but it is a central hub of, I think, the wheel of all of the impact that he created. With that, I wanted to just turn the microphone over to Gaige and to Ned to each individually give their background on who they are, when they met Ed and what capacity they shared part of their life with Ed.
