Unbound Preview, Pro Nats, Blevins Domination, and Mathieu slam der Poel

Episode 153 - Unbound Preview, Pro Nats, Blevins Domination, and Mathieu slam der Poel

What up party people. Welcome back to the Bonk Bros podcast. We’ve got a jam packed episode for y’all this week with all sorts of topics like Quinn Simmons taking the Stars and Stripes at pro nats while our boy Scottie McG narrowly missed out on his own title, Chris Blevins absolutely dominating the latest World Cup stop at Nove Mesto while Matthieu van der Poel (or should I say slam der Poel) suffered some technical mishaps at his mountain bike debut, then we get into some Unbound preview with a special guest appearance. Oh yeah and DJ’s back so he was able to give us the low down on his own mishaps from last week and provide some updates on how things are shaking out with his recovery.

Speaking of recovery from accidents, this weeks show is brought to you by one of our newest partners, Scarborough Bicycle Accident Law. That’s right, the timing couldn’t be more serendipitous given everything that just went down with Dylan, and fortunately, there are people out there like the folks over at Bicycle Accident Law who are with you on every ride and will work hard to fight for you to get the results you deserve should you fall victim to such an accident. To learn more you can head over to bicycleaccidentlaw.com and make sure to add their contact info to your phone just in case you need them in the moment.

If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at bonkbrospodcast@gmail.com or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Alright let’s get this party started!
