If you want to know what it’s like to own a BMX brand, this is one you won’t want to miss.

“Hey der boys! Happy to share this one with you. The legend himself joined me for a conversation about how Animal started, how Animal is still alive, and everything along the way. I think Ralph’s had about as big of an impact on the BMX that we know and love as anyone else in the world. I feel grateful to have him in the game.” – Bobby Kanode

Check out PART TWO below!

“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!
