Foil Drive Podcast | Ep 01 | Why Does Foil Drive Exist? - Meet the Founders

Watch the video podcast on YouTube: Foil Drive Podcast | Ep 01 | Why Does Foil Drive Exist? - Meet the Founders

Foil Drive Founders Paul and Ben sit down with the very first Foil Drive owner Sykesy to discuss the guys background, where Foil Drive came from and the real reason why it exists. It's been a massive first two years and we are so stoked how far it's come and how many people have jumped on board and supported us. 

Join the Foil Drive Owners Group on Facebook

We are planning to make these podcast pretty frequently either with Foil Drive ambassadors, riders, customers, dealers or just general foil frothers as well as more chats with Paul and Ben for further insight and behind the scenes of everything that makes Foil Drive tick.
