In this special audio podcast episode, Kyle steps completely out of his comfort zone and into an archery range for a first-ever lesson with Jessica Reveal—an accomplished archer, hunter, and the niece of BMX legend Harry Leary.
What begins as a simple archery lesson quickly turns into an honest, thoughtful, and sometimes funny conversation about family, mentorship, safety, learning through failure, and what it was really like growing up with one of the most influential (and infamous) figures in BMX history.
Kyle mentioned wanting to learn archery during a conversation with Linda, who connected him with her daughter Jessica. The two meet at an archery range where Jessica teaches Kyle the fundamentals—stance, safety, nocking, drawing, aiming, and release—while sharing stories about her uncle Harry Leary along the way.
