I think the death of Radar aka Truck was what really pushed us over the edge to make a start by recording a few episodes. Please excuse this first one if it’s bit rough but at least it’s up! They will get better we promise! But either way it’s started now! Hope you enjoy this episode and hope we don’t ramble too much and Levi doesn’t talk about downhill for too long haha. Enjoy! Special thanks to Oscar from
