ABOUT THIS EPISODEWhen Griff repeatedly failed to learn to bunny hop on his own, no matter how many how-to videos he watched, he took an online course. After a 3 month struggle, he's now a beginner but was amazed at how difficult it was. In this episode, he explains his top 5 reasons why it's so hard to learn. If your expectations are realistic, you stand a better chance of learning what some say is the most difficult skill in mountain biking: the bunny hop.

THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY WAUSAU24. USE CODE RAD20 AT CHECKOUT FOR 20% OFF YOUR ENTRY ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Ben gets David Krimstock on a solid internet connection to get his scoop on how he has packed so much living into the first 26 years of his life. Things all start for David as being a state champion swimmer before age 10, to having a rough go with addiction and drugs that finally takes control after a nasty longboarding accident as his junior year of high school was ending.
Once this happened and athleticism wasn't the top priority, the drug use frequency and potency ramped up rapidly to a climax of IV drug use, flunking out of rehabs, and overdosing in Denver bus stops. The rest of the story is in the show, tune in to hear how David is now racing at an elite level and leading others through the Jaywalker Lodge.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEThis is a special flashback posting for the newer listeners who don't know the roots of the JRA Crew. This show is from April 18, 2016 when the X7 Dumpster fire ignites. Down in the show links we have a download link for a really old episode from August 8, 2013, when the armadillo hate comes to surface. Also, a link to a really cool flask for some very "Excited Armadillos".
ABOUT THIS (the original) EPISODEMatt is antsy and skips right to listener questions. They hammer out the most listener questions they've answered in a loooong time. Those questions include plenty of drivetrain talk, as well as whether or not people should dump their crappy bikes.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Nathan, Auk, and Tani get a long time dream going by getting some of the guys from Santa Cruz on the show. They go through a little bike history about where Santa Cruz Bicycles was first housed and what else was in the building - including the remote barn office. They get a little history of van life, prior to the hashtag and a little personal history on how to get REALLY fast (hint, commute with the TT state champ). The guys get the scoop on how Greg Minnaar pushed the 29er DH bike, and much more. Tune in and hear this great episode.
