When 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.

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.

Mark lays out where TLAS is going before launching into an interview with Rose Grant. Mark talks with Rose about her trajectory from a collegiate soccer player transitioning to distance running and not touching her bike for a decade. Rose gives us the lowdown on how returning to the bike and rising to the pro ranks happened so quickly, with the birth of a child and injury sprinkled in along the way. Tune in to here how Rose overcame setbacks and grew stronger in the face of adversity to rise to her level of dominance today.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This 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) EPISODE

Matt 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:

Kelli and Ben get on the mic to talk about one of the easiest to make and hardest to resist recipes yet: chocolate covered espresso beans. Tune in to hear how to make them, what they are good for, and a reference to a smattering of other times that Kelli has talked about caffeine. As usual, a rambling Ben tries to do Kelli's job and promote her business.
