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.
Sean Burns is a BMX legend. Roof drops, broken spines, Bone Deth, horror movies, mental health battles—you name it.
In this episode, we talk about how he started, what almost ended him, and why he’s still here creating weird, brilliant stuff. From his new short film Mr. Entity to dealing with PTSD to duct-taping umbrellas to tripods, this conversation is exactly as chaotic and honest as you’d expect.
If you know, you know. If you don’t… you will.
Tyler Fernengel is one of the best bmx riders of our generation, and has one hell of a story. We talk a lot about mental health, addiction, and how to live a peace-filled life. He's committed to daily YouTube video releases on his channel so get over there and give him a follow if you haven't already: https://www.youtube.com/@UCThvcMqGIO2IW72JZaRtfIQ Tyler's such a good hearted person you can feel it through the screen. We're lucky to have him! Mediocre at Best 2 DVD is available for purchase now:https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GG45NWRA6R47JLeave your address in the notes.

Ricky Lopez is a sales rep for Afterhours Distribution and knows a thing or two about this industry.

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.

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 Taubin
Vic Ayala's wife has a GoFundMe Vinnie asked to share, go support:

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.
