About this episode
The start of the year is always a fun one with regards shakes up in the industry. One such shake up was hearing that Edo was leaving F-one after a very successful couple years working with the brand. Where would he end up going?
It might have come as a surprise to hear he was going to be working alongside the Slingshot guys - but I recon once you've listened to what the man himself has to say you'll understand the decision completely.
A young man at the pinnacle of his discipline meets a young team with a tonne of potential at a brand with a strong heritage - we look forward to seeing where that can go!
