Back to EpisodesEpisode 98 : “Ride for Autism” w/ G Money and Gelindo
Description
In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, the crew welcomes back G Money, who shares powerful updates on life, parenting, and his son Noah’s incredible journey as a young mountain biker with autism. The episode centers around the upcoming Ride for Autism event happening on June 14, 2025, at SkyPark at Santa’s Village, a unique location that’s become a safe haven for families with special needs.
G Money dives into how he connected with Manny and the Mountain Misfits, the SoCal bike group that started the Ride for Autism three years ago. He explains how the event isn’t just about biking—it’s about empowering inclusion, building confidence in autistic kids, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
The hosts explore:
- The emotional and developmental benefits of biking for autistic kids
- What makes SkyPark a truly magical place (yes, Santa is there year-round!)
- Why events like this matter, especially amidst cuts to autism research funding
- Fun family-friendly activities at SkyPark: zip lining, archery, balance bike parks, and more
They also reflect on favorite bike-themed movies (like Rad, Quicksilver, and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure) and share stories about coaching, mentorship, and the importance of making imprints on kids' lives.
The episode is both informative and funny, with warm nostalgia and big-hearted storytelling—all anchored in a message of community, purpose, and play.
