Unbound 200 - Part 1 - McElveen | Skarda

June 13, 2022 • Season 1 • Episode 2

Welcome to Episode 2, Pt 1 of OffRoad Inroads presented by Maxxis Factory Racing. In this episode we’re diving into the racing at Unbound Gravel, the second instalment of the LTGP and world-famous 200 mile race in Emporia, Kansas. The race lived up to it’s name with epic conditions and grueling racing for every athlete out there. Based on the sheer amount of insanity that occurred, we elected to split this episode into two parts to give our interviewees the chance to adequately colour our discussions.

Based on a common thread among the feedback from episode 1, Lespy and Haley give you a rundown of their own races out there before diving into conversations with pros Payson McElveen and Alexis Skarda. We talk potatoes, crashes, jabronis, and a few tips on how to join the "No Mechanicals Club". No holds barred, folks. It’s a good one!
