Kanode Knows – Johnny Raekes

March 6, 2023

Johnny Raekes sits down for an interview on the Kanode Knows Podcast!

The latest episode of the Kanode Knows Podcast from Bobby Kanode has arrived. This time around Johnny Raekes sits down for an hour and 45 minute interview. As many of you know, Johnny has been crushing it on a BMX bike for years now, riding for brands like Fiend, along with his newest sponsor Odyssey (Watch his Johnny Raekes Welcome Video if you haven’t yet!). Although Johnny has been putting out wild videos and everything, we didn’t really know a whole lot about him, so this interview was a real interesting listen hearing his story from sponsors to filming, travel and much, much more. This is a good listen, so get on that play button and get to know Johnny!

“Johnny Raekes is a professional BMX rider from Washington who rides for Fiend BMX and recently added to the pro team for Odyssey! We watch his Odyssey Welcome to Pro video together and catch up in general. Really enjoyed talking to him and hope you guys enjoy listening.” – Bobby Kanode
