Don of the Streets just happened and I noticed Scott's luscious chops in a clip and had to get them on camera to recap his experience at the contest. Scott is the man.

Humble, hard working, and kind. Bruce Crisman is the best! I'm very grateful I got to sit and chat with him and I think this is one of the best episodes so far. From childhood to retirement, we cover it all and it's very interesting especially if you were into BMX in the past 25 years. Thank you for liking and subscribing! Share the show with your freecoaster homies. https://www.instagram.com/brucecrisman/ ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ MEDIOCRE AT BEST https://shopmediocre.com/ Want to be featured on the show?

Hey guys! Hope everything is going well for you this week. This is an interesting episode for sure. Ralph is a human like the rest of us and has been through some real tough times. His message about iron deficiency is something I'd never heard about but we think it's pretty important and if it can help just one person it's worth sharing. Rest in peace to Eric Schalles. Life is short and you should hug your homies. Toward the end we get a peek into what's going on with the bike shop and with Animal Bikes! Hope you enjoy this. (We had to use zoom and I think my audio sucks a little bit but you'll have to forgive me) Anyway - support Ralph's companies! https://animalbikes.com/ https://www.grovestreetbicycles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/animalbikes/ ______________ 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?

You may already know this man. He's pretty involved! I really like his riding and his photography but come to find out he's even cooler of a human being. He's making a living in LA doing photography, travelling riding and shooting BMX with Cult, and being a fungi throughout all of it. Super interesting conversation that I hope you enjoy.

I really enjoyed this conversation. Calvin's life is a movie. I tell him in the podcast, he denies, but then he proceeds to tell insane stories that would only happen in movies. He's the filmer and editor for Kink BMX and he's been an absolutely savage pro rider for longer than you've had chest hair. I hope you enjoy dis here episode and have a wonderful rest of your week. https://www.instagram.com/calvinkosovich https://www.youtube.com/user/calvinbmx ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP code Kanode for 15% off https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ Want to be featured on the show?

Firstly, love to Alex Hiam. He's in intensive care, battling brain trauma along with lung implications and other minor impacts according to the GoFundMe. If you want to chip in here's the link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-alex-hiam-after-a-devastating-injury-overseas Aaron Maxwell has been to hell! I empathize a lot with his story both from seeing it from the outside but also knowing what it feels like to be heavily addicted to drugs. I am so happy he was willing to share his story and I hope that it helps one person out there find the courage to ask for help. He's a bright and light person to be around and this new and improved version of him is incredible. Proud of you Aaron. Thank you. Watch his video parts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNQ-VzH0RYE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REl5HZXxFgE&t=1965s ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by: BURN SLOW https://burnslow.co/ DANS COMP code Kanode for 15% off https://www.danscomp.com/ UNITY RIDE SHOP https://www.unityrideshop.com/ Want to be featured on the show?
