From my experience, there is a safety thing what she is missing. I use a bike antenna to keep the leash away from the front wheel. It is much more safer!

HAHA! PLEASE STOP You have no idea what you're talking about consistency is NOT the biggest problem in dog training!

How do I get a copy?

As a recreational musher, someone who’s comfortable with dryland in the southwest area and new to sled mushing I would love to see/hear more on the mechanics of how to get your sled to maneuver correctly. I try to watch any footage of mushers with lots of turns etc, but they’re more focused on the dog view. These types of videos are hard to find. Sled maintenance too. Im sure dryland beginners could use knowledge too. There just isn’t enough out there like this

Thank you both for the great job once again. Love how the show has evolved and each year is gold. I’m excited to subscribe to the magazine next paycheck and all the new features to your mushing info plans.

Glad wild fire is doing well ! Awful bad accident in 2022 ! So glad everything going well ! Remember that crazy accident !

Thanks for your honesty. I think all the things we go thru and deal with have a way of making us grow and become a better version of ourselves especially when you’re using as a compass to always improve yourself and do right by all living forces around you. I am excited that you have obtained mushing magazine I look forward to seeing the new direction you’re taking it. I know I will learn so mush more about the sport and the dogs and hopefully myself in relation to my 2 mushing sibes By the way, we have a small connection. I am friends with April Cox. She helped train me and my boy Jax up in Chester. Our most favorite memory made. Jax passed from k9 seizures last July but April long distance is still aiding my training of the new puppy.

Oh, my! Well said Michelle. I think you covered the spirit of the journey perfectly. Said in an easy to digest manner that a none musher or recreational person can understand ❤️

Very well said ! Race is never over , until everyone in ! Be safe out there !

Retired emergency physician here. My heart breaks with dog's deaths. Genetics (conduction abnormalities) does come to mind. Also viral myocarditis. Where the affected dogs in the same confines in the past 6 weeks. It is time for space age medical monitoring teams to partner with vet. schools and mushing. There is technology which could be tried. There is NO WAY the mushers have fault in this.

So happy for Dallas ! Such amazing young man !

Enjoying this in East Texas. A little more lore about stops would be interesting. Also more about dog care at stops . Heart broken for loss of dogs and their mushers.

Go dallas

I really enjoyed this series. Thank you for creating it. I learn so much more and remembered things I heard before and forgot. Hope you create more mushing history series.

So I’m hearing conflicting information about what exactly rule 34 actually states. You say feed dress. Ie skinned, but other reports say just gutted. Or removal of the insides not skinned.

I’m so happy there are so many people covering the race. I love getting different perspectives and stories. Love how the coverage is growing. I look forward to hearing your podcast the most. You both are doing an amazing job sharing the race info.

Happy belated birthday Robert

It wasn’t a value last year. I was so disappointed in all the blackouts that happened. So much I cancelled my subscription this year cuz I expected the same thing to happen since so many people are streaming. I can’t afford to buy something and it not perform 😢. I do miss it. I subscribed for many years. I’ll be glued to your podcasts and all videos I can find

I have been an “Insider” since 2013 and I’m actually stunned that someone like you who is such a fan of this race does not subscribe! I agree that the $39.99 for the Insider is WELL worth it. Whats that, like the equivalent of a few movie theater tickets?? And like someone said, it’s two weeks of entertainment. We sit and watch all the newest videos from each day - everything from drone footage over the trail, musher interviews, expert perspectives from Greg Heister and Bruce Lee, checkpoint tours to weather forecasts. We likewise have the gps trackers on our computer/devices pretty much for the entire two weeks! Not to diminish in any way the unique perspectives, analysis and sources that you have, but having the Insider as well makes for fantastic and well-rounded coverage. You should check it out!

Interesting.

how disgusting. Talking about telling them to line out when clearly the dog doesnt know it or is to shut down to do it, your "assistant" is DRAGGING the dog into a position you're saying it should KNOW. The whole video the dog is nervous, and you're just ignoring it. Incredibly forceful and incredibly disgusting. Also 'funny' how every time the dog gets dragged you move the camera to you. This is NOT training. Nothing about this is positive for the dog. I support bikejoring, and do it myself, but this is just forcing.

Merry Christmas from the UK

I knew your story and dont care about trolls

I had no idea about any of this and never heard rumors. Doesn’t change my positive experiences with you at all. Excited to see what you do with Mushing Magazine.

I have a huge team of dogs and would love to build something like this

I have had two face to face meetings with Robert over the past few years and in each of these he was VERY forthcoming about his past failings. In this and in other areas, he was very transparent It is easy to play the "victim" card but Ive never seen Robert do it. He takes full ownership with honesty. This kind of open introspection is a core characteristic for those who make such changes. After he shared his past with me, I sold him a fantastic Seppala puppy and I am guarded about who I let my dogs go to- especially pups from my primary leaders. From all that I saw in that business dealing and in his care of that dog since- Id do it again.

I first met you via fb Im in the uk, I never knew your history I accepted you for the person you are, I can remember watching cell dogs, dont recall seeing you on it. I admire you for your honesty during this video I also have a great respect for people who succeed despite mistakes in their past. You obviously have a meterforical (sp) steel backbone to contine to reach for your dreams, I wish you every success with all your future endeavours

People can be very cruel. When I saw rumors start swirling on FB, I didn't even bother to read the posts because I knew it was just a bunch of trolls with nothing better to do with their lives. Robert, you & Michelle and your family are a bright star in the dark sky. You could have just let the rumors continue but you have owned a bad mistake and continued to build your family up higher & higher rather than hiding. You are a true testimony to the resiliant spirit of mushing. I miss mushing very much. I was only part-time recreational but I loved and still love it even though I haven't been on the runners since 2006/2007. And try finding a copy of Mushing here in Prince George - impossible. Mush on Robert & family 🐕 🛷

Well, that was a very intense and passionate video. I congratulate you on how far you have come. I must also commend Michelle for sticking by your side and believing in you she is to be commended for the wonderful amazing support system that she has been for you I wish you to the best you’re both amazing and you have certainly come along way with full transparency. Your success is inevitable as it already has been. Good luck to you both and your business.

What a story! Thank you for sharing. I'm even more impressed with where you are right now knowing that you've earned it with blood, sweat, and tears! Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing your story Robert, I’m in Northern Ireland and have a small Kennel Of 18 Siberians, some rescues, amateur Dryland musher, I’m 64 and came to Mushing late, looking forward to the new Mushing Magazine!

So thrilled for your future in thus and know this amazing opportunity is in the hands if an amazing folks that will put in the work to tell meanful stories and help the community of dog sports

First~ How’s everything going?, great ! bye,

You have missed quite a lot when it comes to doing this sport. You needed to mention the basic commands your dog needs to know before you hook them up to a line and go bikejoring or mushing sport... Also, your bike is missing the lead holder thingy to keep it away from tangling in the front wheel. It is vital, otherwise, it could harm both you and the dog...

I feel like im watching an Apple infamercial.

Butter knives make good Screw Drivers, and alot of other things you are mentioning. I had never even heard of EDC until you and Robert mentioned it. Thank you! 😁😁😁😁

So that's how some people have done it here! 😮 That's cool! 😁 I always thought people needed to actually go out and manually warm up their rigs. Then I saw otherwise because the engine started and the lights flashed and no one was in the truck and it kinda freaked me out at first thinking it was a "Maximum Overdrive" movie thing goin on, lol 😆

Never thought about it, I just know that you like to wear sunglasses. No big deal to me.

Oakley is an expensive brand but, I heard they are really good quality, too.

What do you think about Garmin Forerunner watches?

I'm surprised that AT&T is still in existence in some places! 😮 They died out when I was in middle school in WA state and I've not heard or seen anything of it or about it since I moved to ID in '15. Apple is so expensive! I've heard the programming is good but, I've heard that Apple everything is not built heavy duty, breaks alot. Rolex is supposed to be very good "Takes a lickin and keeps on ticking".

I have issues with gears locking up because I have never used them and i can never remember how to use them due to memory loss caused by seizures and then trying to get the timinh right due to high functioning Autism. I need a mtn bike without a gear system. Brakes are good to have but, needs to be stronger then the dog(s) to help rhem slow up or stop without getting locked up in the process. Also, handlebars need to stay put and not be pulled out by the dog (s).
