This week, JP sits down with Danny Awang — the powerhouse filmmaker behind Scott Bikes, Cam Jones, and one of the creative voices capturing EF at the Tour de France Femmes. Danny shares what it was like to follow Cam Jones during his explosive rise throughout the Lifetime Grand Prix, documenting the highs, lows, and surprising human moments that never make it into the final cut. With a front-row seat to some of the biggest storylines in gravel and world tour racing, Danny talks about the art of staying invisible behind the camera while capturing some of cycling’s most emotional and iconic scenes.

JP and Danny also dig into the deeper story of Danny’s entry into filmmaking — how an early experience with an incredibly accepting cycling community changed his life and set him on the creative path he’s on today. Together, they explore the importance of belonging, the mental side of creative work, and the joy of crafting stories that move people. And of course, the episode ends with the classic round of rapid-fire questions. If you love cycling media, filmmaking, or stories of unexpected opportunity, this conversation delivers.

For the final Bootleg Miles episode of the year, JP dives into the ongoing debate from The Stable Cyclist Podcast and brings in answers from some of the biggest names in the sport: Gravel Hall-of-Famers Selene Yeager and Amanda Sheek, American Crit legend Brad Huff, gravel pros Justin McQuerry, Chase Wark and Dylan Johnson, WorldTour veterans Ian Boswell and Pete Stetina, TrainerRoad’s Jonathan Lee, journalist Ben Delaney, former US MTB National Champs Carson Beckett and Gordon Wadsworth and even the Holy Spirit of Gravel.

Along the way, JP breaks down rural gas station culture, his favorite stops in Minnesota and North Dakota, the genius of the “redneck ice sock,” and the simple joy of a cold Coke or a counter-top treat that definitely wasn’t made in a factory.

We’ll also take a ride out to Olson’s Service in Sentinel Butte, ND — a full-service station straight out of Cars and Route 66 history — and talk about why these places matter more than we think.

This episode wraps up a full season of gravel adventures, filmmaking, racing, and podcasting. Thanks for coming along for the ride — and remember: you are loved.

This week, JP sits down with John Karrasch, better known as FlexFitByJohn, whose gravel tire rolling resistance and speed tests have taken the cycling world by storm. What started as a behind-the-scenes bike fitting career in Birmingham, Alabama turned into a meteoric rise as John became the go-to resource for accurate, data-driven tire performance testing. In this episode, John talks about how his meticulous work with the Chung method built trust across the gravel community, eventually landing him on the Escape Collective podcast with Ronan McLaughlin and establishing him as one of the most respected voices in modern cycling tech.

JP and John go deeper into what it feels like to transition from relative obscurity to becoming a widely recognized figure in the sport. They talk about imposter syndrome, validation from Robert Chung himself, and how to stay grounded when your identity is shifting and your work suddenly reaches thousands of riders. This episode blends cycling science, personal growth, and the human side of going viral — a must-listen for anyone who loves gear, gravel, or a good story of unexpected success.
