The Melon Mukbang with Jono Jones & Ben Deakin

It's a full house in the new studio!
Jono Jones and Ben Deakin join Olly and Davi after a long day of filming the new Melon Optics photochromic lens launch video. During the episode the lads talk about the hilarious days filming at Rogate Bike Park, Jono talks about racing the Red Bull Cero Abajo in Mexico, his boxing career, quitting banking to help build the Mavrix video game with brother Matt Jones and Deaks shares his number one piece of advice after 460 races. There's also talk about Rob Warner's secret hair transplant, Domini's pizza, sea level and loads more...

It's low energy episode due to the long day but we hope you enjoy the hang!
