Talking BMX with Chris Doyle

November 17, 2022

Chris Doyle sits down for a catch up with Brant Moore!

Here’s a new one Brant Moore dropped from a new interview he did with Chris Doyle during a recent video chat. Check out a little over an hour of conversation covering what he’s been up to lately, getting on the S&M Bikes team, stories from the past and much, much more. As always, Chris always has something interesting to say, so you already know this is a good listen. Check it out!

“Last week there was quite a bit of online excitement surrounding a comment made in a podcast that used Chris Doyle as an example older BMX riders taking opportunity away from younger riders through being supported by a BMX company. While we didn’t want this to be the main focus of this conversation, it is certainly a topic that we needed to be brought up. So Chris and I talked about this for a little bit before moving on to talk about so many great things such as Brian Yeagle, a Section 8 story, Chris and his love for street riding, why he hated Rooftop for a few days, and so much more! This was a great conversation that I enjoyed very much. Hope you enjoy too!” – Brant Moore

Dan Butler doesn’t let his disability slow him down!

We’ve seen quite a few riders that are riding at an exceptional level despite having a disability that would keep most people from being able to do most things.

Here’s a video Brant Moore put together where Dan tells his story, along with some insights from guys like Karl Hinkley to tell just what kind of a person Dan is. Hit play because this is a super good watch and definitely a dude who needs to be on your radar!
