Back in 2013, former U.S. National Park Ranger Robert “Mac” McIntosh noticed a major problem that burdened park rangers in Mongolia. Without reliable and fast transportation, rangers could not pursue or keep up with illegal poachers, miners, campers and other spoilers of the environment. His solution was the birth of Rally For Rangers!

Every year, the foundation finds riders to buy motorcycles and ride them over 1,000 miles to deliver them to park rangers around the world. Seven years and over 120 bikes later, they've successfully combined the passion for protecting the environment and the passion for motorcycles. Co-founder Tom Medema joined the RTM hosts via Zoom to talk about the importance of the mission, what it takes to ride and the Rally For Rangers documentary film.

Curvy Surfer Girl Is Bringing Body Positivity To The Sport — Founder Elizabeth Sneed Joins RTM

Curvy Surfer Girl Is Bringing Body Positivity To The Sport — Founder Elizabeth Sneed Joins RTM

It's probably not much of a surprise to learn that sports like surfing have big body positivity issues. Elizabeth Sneed recognizes this fact, and that's why she started the "Curvy Surfer Girl" brand. The brand's goal is to make surfing more inclusive for women of all body types. After moving to Oahu back in 2017, Sneed fell in love with surfing but she was disheartened by the lack of diversity. "Curvy Surfer Girl" has quickly taken off in popularity, proving that it's not just people with the so-called "desired" body type that want to be out there surfing. We are so in love with what Elizabeth Sneed is doing that we just had to talk to her. So our RTM hosts spoke with Sneed via Zoom to talk about what got her into surfing and where she sees her brand going in the future. Check out Curvy Surfer Girl on Instagram and TikTok!
