Ricky Lopez is a sales rep for Afterhours Distribution and knows a thing or two about this industry. If anyone has a pulse of what's going on, it's gotta be Ricky who calls bike shops all day every day and seems to have the memory of an elephant.

Simple Session is almost here! If you're considering going, you definitely should. More info here: https://session.ee/Risto Kalmre is a BMX rider, entrepreneur, and creator/founder of Simple Session. That's actually pretty insane! I can't imagine the amount of work that goes in to making Simple Session special every year for 25 years! I am grateful for the chance to talk with him and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching/listening my dudes. See you at the Mediocre II premiere and Street Fighter 7 Jam here in Phoenix on March 22nd. ______________Kanode Knows is supported by:BURN SLOWhttps://burnslow.co/DANS COMPhttps://www.danscomp.com/UNITY RIDE SHOPhttps://www.unityrideshop.com/Want to be featured on the show?

Pretty hyped on this one my dudes. Vinnie always seemed super intimidating from watching him as I grew up. Turns out he's pretty dang nice and had a lot of good memories to share about the golden age of Animal and Skavenger, riding with Edwin, traveling, making enough money to live off of from BMX, and more. oh he also lives with Will TaubinVic Ayala's wife has a GoFundMe Vinnie asked to share, go support:https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-beths-brain-tumor-recovery

Two incredibly out of my weight class legendary bmx figures sitting with me on my couch and recording a conversation to share with you, the nerds. I'm very grateful they were up for it, and I had a blast recording. Hope you get a kick out of some of these stories. https://www.instagram.com/catfishvsthug https://www.instagram.com/texasmwade ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ Want to be featured on the show?

I like Cory. His riding is phenomenal and he's a fun dude to be around. We go way back and it was very fun to reminisce about the early days in Phoenix all the way through his latest Manifesto part for Fiend. Note: we're gonna probably have to do a part 2 cuz I want to know about his work! We didn't talk about his business at all. https://www.instagram.com/corywiergowski/ ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ Want to be featured on the show?

Super grateful that Tate was willing to hop on here for a very interesting conversation about how his brain works with the tricks he's doing, the things that he's balancing in life, and his opinions on various things within the BMX world. https://www.instagram.com/tateroskelley ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ Want to be featured on the show?
