An audio journey through the Traka documenting the first collaboration between MET Helmets and Portal. Recording during the 560K Adventure, we embedded ourselves with Portal's Patrick Stangeby and John Roberts to explore the thinking behind the collaborative helmet design and follow their riders as they navigate the Catalan countryside, finding shades of comfort in the discomfort.

The PORTAL × MET: TRADE WINDS HELMET is available in limited numbers on portal-brand.com

The episode is best enjoyed with headphones. Marked explicit for occasional swearwords.

Host Danni Shrosbree speaks with riders who have just come off the course from all the distances. Recorded live in Girona featuring pro American gravel racers Skyler Taylor and Maude Farrell on their first experience of this iconic European gravel race, alongside Kyle Madden of Away Message, Luca Montoya of Unknown Route, and Steve Willis from London’s Benchmark store, who completed the 560 km distance.

Some raced the Traka. Some endured it. Not all of them finished.

For the second episode, recorded inside the TUBE – MET's in-house wind tunnel – host Danni Shrosbree speaks to Kate Waugh, an Olympic triathlete, 2025 T100 World Champion, and new to the MET athlete team.

It's a conversation about racing bikes, yes – but also confidence, mindset, injuries, getting into cycling and doing things your own way. Smart, honest and refreshing – just how we like it.

In the first-ever episode live from the TUBE, MET's in-house wind tunnel, host Danni Shrosbree speaks to UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Florian Vermeersch in the run-up to Paris-Roubaix. The former Roubaix podium finisher talks to Danni about being current Gravel World Champion and what it's like being on a super team with a generational talent like Tadej Pogačar around.
