Landon broke his back in July 2010 while competing on his mountain bike. After rehabilitation at GF Strong in Vancouver, British Columbia, he did not waste any time returning to activities like adaptive skiing, biking, and surfing. This episode focuses on Landon's deep love for mountain biking, a sport he pursues with blood and sweat. Adaptive mountain biking (aMTB) allows Landon to express his creativity on the mountain while providing freedom, independence, and mobility. Mountain biking is dangerous and physically demanding.

Furthermore, he is part of Bowhead's Sports Development Team, "advocates for equity and inclusion, and simply enjoys sharing our experiences with others." Catch up with Landon this summer when he races in the 2022 Dunbar Downhill Summer Series. It's an event you don't want to miss. Enjoy the episode.
