What is up Gypsy Gang, we are back for another episode of the Gypsy Tales Podcast. My guest today is the man, the myth, the legend; Can Zink. Fresh off his 2023 winning run at Rampage, Cam dropped into the studio for an awesome conversation.
A true legend and pioneer of the Mountain Bike world. He was a promising junior racer before turning his attention to the new Freeride movement, and for the last 20 years he has been at the forefront of innovation in his chosen lane.. Cam is also a die hard moto fan and rider, and as a mountain biker my whole life, this really was a bucket list episode for me!
We talked about his early career racing Mountain Bikes, the infancy of Freeriding, how Motocross has always been a part of his career, how to focus and be in “the zone”, risk taking and much more.
Cam is also a business owner in the industry now after a thirst for creating the perfect grip. They now make some the best grips, pedals, seats and tailgate pads on the market over at thesensus.com or @SensusGrips on YouTue or Instagram.
