This week, we’re stoked (and honestly a little confused) to bring on Jarrod Harris—a former comic-turned-bike-park-owner, who went from taking shots off strippers and 6am radio gigs to building one of the gnarliest mountain bike parks in Georgia, complete with mysterious “Trail Armor” that either ruins mountain biking or is the second coming of dirt.
We dive deep into why Georgia’s not all peaches and flat land. Guess what? There’s real riding, way too much rain, and just enough southern spite to keep things interesting. Jarrod spills about the secret origin of his bike park (hint: divorce revenge and annoying horse people), dishes on the struggle of building a legit park, and reveals how a little bit of marine carpet and a lot of stubbornness can outlast even the worst dirt.
Of course, we can’t make it through an episode without juvenile jokes. Rob fumbles talking for the 137th time, Chief admits his bike shorts are basically a portable diaper, and our “trail maintenance” strategy still involves as much bathroom humor as actual trail work. There’s also a debate about which is worse: Atlanta traffic or carpet burn on your elbows (spoiler: both suck).
If you’re new around here, don’t worry. We’re just as dumb as we sound, and if you’re looking for hot takes on wheel sizes, beer spilled on the soundboard, or a passionate case for riding bikes instead of arguing about Trump on Facebook, you’ve found your people.
So buckle in, grab a cold one (or a clean chamois), and get ready for an episode that’s fast, loose, and probably just a little dumber than you bargained for. Let’s get weird!
