## A Community-Focused Initiative Aaron shares how their journey began with a simple desire to give back to the hill climbing scene. "We debated this for not very long before we both jumped on board and we started 202 Speedco," he explains. The company’s website, [202speedco.com](https://202speedco.com), is now live and already processing orders. Ryan adds, "It’s pretty cool because when I started hill climbing, getting a paddle tire was like a mysterious endeavor. Now, we’re making it easier for everyone to find what they need." ## The Ultimate Tire In a candid moment, Aaron teases, "Ryan's ordered a tire that’s gonna be the ultimate weapon. I don’t think he wants to let the cat out of the bag, but it is gonna be the best tire ever." The anticipation builds as Ryan hints at a new design that could change the game for racers: "It’s gonna be like a seven hundred dollar tire, but man, is it gonna be cool?" ## Giving Back to the Sport The duo emphasizes that their mission is not profit-driven but about supporting the community. As Ryan puts it, "This community is one we love, and it’s pretty cool to be able to give back to it." They also plan to expand their offerings to include race fuel additives and oils, catering to the needs of racers everywhere. ## Recent Races and Community Spirit The conversation transitions to their recent experience at a hill climb event in Billings, Montana. Ryan describes the atmosphere: "It’s always a really, really good event, and it’s great to see both experienced and new riders come together." However, the day wasn’t without incident. They reflect on a scary moment involving a fellow racer, Tristan, who had a significant crash. Aaron recounts, "It was super scary... his hip was pretty wrecked and his shoulder." A GoFundMe has been set up to support Tristan during his recovery. ## Reflections on Racing Ryan and Aaron discuss the unpredictable nature of hill climbing and the importance of safety. They reminisce about the instincts that take over during a crash, highlighting the bravery required to make split-second decisions. Despite the day's challenges, the overall sentiment remains positive. As Ryan concludes, "Everything was organized, and it was super fun." There’s a sense of camaraderie in the air, reminding everyone why they love this sport so much. For more insights and a deeper dive into the world of hill climbing, check out the full episode!
