But really though what's the most famous 360? Comment your answer. George Boyd is a self employed video editor, BMX legend, and one hell of a nice human. I have been a fan of him since I was 18 so it was special to get to sit and talk with him. He was a part of a very influential group of riders from Texas called V-Club. V-Club made some big waves at the beginning of web videos becoming a thing. Thank you George for coming on the show! Hope you all enjoy.______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP use promo code Kanode https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ Want to be featured on the show?

I'm glad I was able to have this conversation. Preston is the newest pro for Cult and is a hell of a guy. We talk about his history with BMX, what it's like to be a pro rider, what's coming next from him, and much more. I love watching his riding. Doesn't hurt that he's a great human.

Last year we recorded an episode with the one and only Justin Kosman but he surprisingly had internet from 1997 and it didn't work out. I was struggling to get an episode scheduled this weekend with Mother's Day and reached out to Kosman as a hail mary and he was down! I've been looking up to this man and his ability to make money with his photography and videography for a long time. In fact when I was in business school, one of my assignments was to find a mentor in the industry I wanted to work in and Kosman accepted the job. I never did much with it but if I ever had questions he was super helpful to answer. So this episode feels a little bit like I'm sharing a session with my mentor to the internet. You know his work even if you don't know his work. The Hunt, Vans Illustrated, Red Bull projects, product catalogs, work for Vans BMX, and much much more.

Glenn PP Milligan is a name you've heard if you were a part of my generation, the generation before me, or the generation after me. He's made more BMX full length videos than you've made Instagram montages. The best part is he has a great memory and recalls some incredible stuff in this episode. I tried to take it as a learning opportunity to understand what was important for us to remember from the 90s and 2000s, and it was incredible to hear some BTS stories about Dave Mirra and The Gonz. Really hyped on this one. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy he was to talk to and how humble he is considering the tremendous impact he's had in BMX. I also admire how he kept/keeps progressing and doing different shit and isn't afraid of something being goofy as long as he's trying something new.

Ethan Corriere is a professional, wait not professional anymore, BMX rider from Huntington Beach. He's a well established figure in the game. Common Crew to Fit, to now a free agent. He's incredible and one of my favorite humans in the industry. Very funny and humble dude, works at Epic Ride Shop, and is obsessed with weird Japanese cars. He lives in his van down by the river. This conversation is awesome and gets even awesomer when Sauce joins us for the last hour. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed. Thanks for listening! Love you all have a great week. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kanodeknows/support

Chris Childs is a legend! He's a professional BMX rider from Providence, Rhode Island. He rode for DK, Sunday, and currently S&M. Been a fan of his for over a decade and was stoked to get to know him a little better on this weeks episode. Just a solid human who can do the most on a bike. We watch some of his old video parts together and talk about everything from getting on DK and going to Colombia to a little behind the scenes of what it's like to be on S&M today. I messed up the intro on this and can't edit it in time to release cuz I'm on the road so just ignore my mess ups ok thanks. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kanodeknows/support
