EPISODE 100 - New Sound Same Us | Scott Throws Down at US Pro Nats, International Affairs at Gravel Locos, and DJ Hot Takes

What is up party people. Did you hear that? Yeah that’s right, we’re coming atcha with some fresh beats as we enter a new era for the podcast. Episode 100 means it’s time to turn it up a notch and that intro was just a little something our new producer cooked up as one of the many creative ideas they’ve been throwing at us for how we can level up the show for y’all to keep things spicy. Speaking of leveling up, if you’ve been tuning into these episode via YouTube then you’ve gotten a little sneak peak at our latest re-branding efforts WHICH are also dropping today with the launch of our revamped website including a landing page where you can learn a little bit about each of the Bonk Bros, check out some of the marquee events each of us plan to be at this season, and even a merch page that we’ll be continuing to update as new designs come through. Yeah that’s right, new sound and look but don’t worry, we’ll still be the same ol’ Bonk Bros for as long as y’all keep tuning in. We’re talking Scott absolutely throwing down at US Pro Nats (and Dizzle going down - yikes, but he’s all good) with a podium spot in the crit and 4th place in the road race, the international podium sweep at Gravel Locos this past weekend, and DJ’s latest hot take on Alexey Vermeulen deciding to skip Unbound in exchange for being a civilized sibling and attending his brothers wedding instead. All this and more coming right up.
