The Zars Brothers

Dirtbag Diaries outdoor podcast mountain biking family Zars

5 years apart, Levin and Tilden Zars are wiry, rugged, and maddeningly strong on mountain bikes. They have scars to prove a childhood of egging each other on, and finesse to prove they’ve never let each other stay down after a fall. Through the ups and downs, the sends and the falls, they share a remarkable sibling bond.
