Following Your Passion – Pete Scullion - a podcast by Downtime MTB

Pete Scullion is a photographer, writer and adventurer who lives in Aberfoyle, Scotland. Pete spent the last 20 years involved with bikes in some shape or form, but he’s been on a winding path to find his perfect role in the sport. We chat about his journey from racing, through marketing and the media side of things, to the freelance portfolio that he has today. Pete’s story shows that determination and hard work really do pay off. It also shows that there is more than one way to get paid to ride a bike. So sit back, hit play and give this episode with Pete Scullion a listen.

CushCore







I’ve been riding CushCore for over two years now and I love the changes it makes to the way my bike rides. It’s more damped, carries momentum better through rough terrain as it doesn’t get held up so much on square edges, and it has more support in the turns. CushCore really does help you go bigger, corner harder and ride faster with total confidence! If you’re based in the UK then you can purchase them directly from Silverfish over at silverfish-uk.com. If you’re elsewhere in the world, then check out cushcore.com.







Nukeproof







Nukeproof have given their ridewear range a massive overhaul. As part of this, they’ve been really focussed on the environmental side of things, now using Bluesign approved fabrics and OEKO-TEX certification wherever possible. They are also committed to reduce wastage from previous seasons fabrics with their ‘dead-stock line’ which will use the offcuts and wastage to create limited runs of products in high-end premium fabrics.







There are 3 main ranges. First up is Outland, which is designed to work well on the bike, but to not look out of place off it. So it has subtle branding and is perfect for those post ride beers. Then there is the Blackline range, which is designed to perform all day long in the saddle. Finally there is Blackline Race which is what their team riders will be competing in, and is designed to be the ultimate gear for athletes performing at the highest level.







If you want to check it out for yourself, then head over to nukeproof.com to see the entire range.
