Kevin Porter is one of the most influential bmx riders of that past few generations and I loved having a conversation with him for this week's episode of Kanode Knows.

Boyd is so good. I'm tellin ya. A mythical figure. But also just a regular guy like you and me except also not a regular guy because he's like top 5 riders in the world and that's something. I enjoyed talking to him and I hope you enjoy listening! Love you all.

I haven’t posted in a while — here’s why.From finishing Mediocre at Best 2, to hosting a premiere with 300 heads in the room, to sobering up, getting flown to Spain and Croatia, going through a gnarly breakup, crying in Sprouts, dancing in Greece, and feeling like myself again — this is everything I’ve been through the last few months.I’m grateful. I’m inspired. I’m a little tired. But I’m still here. And I want to keep making stuff that feels honest and fun.If you’re down to ride with me into the next chapter — leave a comment and help me shape what this podcast becomes next.Appreciate you.
