Andrea and Matt finally got the 'Rona this week, so no recording happened. Here's your throwback to November of 2020.

The donor names were still unhinged. Kenny had just purchased his first e-bike. Andrea was hunting. Matt was shitting on 27.5+ wheels. Not much has changed except for the bikes in the stable. 

Here's a fun story about this episode- We did our usual audio stuff setup and a test recording. Sounds good, lets rip... then the actual episode recorded through Matt's computer microphone. Seriously... when we say that stuff works, we change nothing, then it stops working, this is the shit I'm talking about. We're using an entirely different program next week, so hopefully the technical difficulties will be history. 

We're short and sweet this week- Be sure to send us any questions or discussion topics you want to hear using our JRAShow.com web form! While you're there, check out the new insulated bottles. 

This week, Matt finds stink-less two stroke oil. Andrea celebrates her 24th birthday, gets back into the bike shop, and gets her garden started. Kenny found some sheep on his XR400 moto.

This week's episode sounds a little breathy because I (Andrea) tried a sound equalizing filter. It's got some compromises... like making breathing noises louder. 

This week, Matt talks Enduro, Andrea was almost eaten by a mountain lion (again?), and Kenny did moto stuff as usual. They're heavy on the new shit and light on listner content, so head over to the JRAshow.com website and fill out the contact form with anything you want them to discuss! 

In this week's episode, Matt raced the Salida Enduro and then it's the usual moto and hunting talk. 

New Shit: 

• Kenny drops a bomb about the Delta/Dimension stem recall. Spoiler alert- they're lying when they say that "no injuries have been reported." Oh yeah, and if you came here just for this, it starts at about 22 minutes in. We've been sitting on this a while, and everyone needs to know.

Welcome to a thrownback from 10 years ago! Amazingly enough, the bike parts have changed, but the advice hasn't. The sound on this one is a little echo-y since at the time, we recorded ourselves sitting around a single microphone at a kitchen table. It's still got all the JRA you crave, though. 

In this episode, the crew makes a pretty amazing prediction when it comes to fork lockouts followed by paying the Wolftooth tax, advice on 1x10 chainline and gearing selection, Andrea's gravel racing plans, and how Kenny lost a KOM. 

In this week's episode, Kenny may have bought a new (to him) motorcycle, and Andrea may not have crashed it yet. Andrea talks brain drugs and goats, and Matt is putting his Epic Evo on a diet.

Yeah, it's been a week. This episode is basically unedited, so you get to hear the UMs and stuff that's usually trimmed out.
