Gary Young sits down with Joe Doherty for The BMX In Our Blood Podcast…

Here’s the latest from The BMX In Our Blood podcast! This time around Joe Doherty caught up with Gary Young during a visit to The Wheel Mill. This interview covers A LOT of ground from how Gary got his start up through what he has going on these days from being a Pro to balancing things out with being a good dad and everything else he has going on. We’ve been HUGE fans of Gary for years and years, so this is an awesome listen! Get on that play button!

“Gary Young! The man behind the amazing professional BMX freestyle athlete that you all know and love. Listen in as Gary tells stories about everything from word traveling to his humble beginnings in San Diego. Definitely one of the nicest pros you could meet. I was very fortunate to have Chris Doyle, a good friend of Gary’s, available to sit in on this one and add to the experience for the listener. I believe even Chris learned a thing or two about Gary! The three of us also talked about the role being parents have in our lives as we each enjoy this role. As always, thanks for listening and supporting the podcast through IG and the www.thebmxinourblood.com

Shook “Scared To Look”

March 26, 2018

The Shook “Scared To Look” DVD from 2003 has resurfaced!

It’s always rad being reminded of a great video from the past. Ryan Howard uploaded the full Shook “Scared To Look” DVD that was originally released back in 2003 online for everyone to enjoy again. It’s crazy to think this video came out 15 years ago already, and we have a feeling a few of you checking this out might be younger than this video. Either way, this video that Chad Shackelford produced featuring Josh Suhre and BJ Gruitza, along with riders that went on to be Pro or crush it in the industry like Tony Neyer, Chase Hawk, Quinn Semling, Kevin Porter, Dave Jacobs, Karl Poynter, Chase DeHart, Vic Ayala, Brian Foster and many, many more. It’s pretty insane how stacked this video was and still is to this day. If you haven’t seen this, or it’s been a while since you have enjoyed it, this is a video you won’t want to pass up. If you prefer Vimeo, it’s also available that way below!

“Tracklist / Soundtrack

Random 1: Les Savvy Fav – We Rock The Party

Mateus Beckmann – Flatland & Street 2018

March 26, 2018

Mateus Beckmann is back with a new mix of clips he has been working on lately…

We’re always stoked to see a new video from Mateus Beckmann. This morning we spotted his latest over on Flat Matters and we knew we had to share it. Here’s a look at Mateus’ latest clips mixing his street and flatland hybrid style that he puts to good use on spots, flat ground and a couple of park clips for good measure. Mateus has a deep bag of tricks and he will keep you guessing what’s coming next from start to finish. The ender is an absolute mind bender, so you’ll want to stick around for that. This is well worth a watch from start to finish. Good song choice, too!
