Kanode Knows – Catfish, Morgan Wade & Koji Kraft

January 30, 2024

Catfish, Morgan Wade and Koji Kraft drop in for an interview on the Kanode Knows podcast!

The latest episode of Kanode Knows from Bobby Kanode has arrived. This time around he had a little over 2 hour conversation with Catfish, Morgan Wade and Koji Kraft talking riding, traveling, shows, plenty of wild stories and much, much more. When you get 3 legends like this together, you know it’s going to be pretty hilarious. Take a look!

“Catfish, Morgan Wade, and Koji Kraft walk into a condo…

Catfish is the best BMX personality in the game, a world-class announcer, and pretty legendary biker. Morgan Wade needs no introduction with several x-games medals and the fact that he can say he’s done a 27 foot 1 handed invert. Koji Kraft is an OG legend.

Life ain’t real. Enjoy!

Catfish Is Getting Thicc

March 15, 2021

It has been quite a while since we’ve seen an edit from Catfish. As it turns out, he’s been living down in Las Vegas for the past year, and still getting in a ton of sessions. Here’s a mix of footage that we’re assuming was filmed over the past few years, with a lot of clips that look like they were filmed in the past year, put together for your viewing pleasure. As always, Zack delivers with creative and original riding with plenty of old school tricks mixed in to make for an interesting watch! Take a look!

“Today marks my 1 year anniversary of living in Las Vegas. It’s safe to say it’s been an insane year for all of us. It’s also safe to say that BMX helped me get through it. Depression is real and even clowns like me feel it. I’m glad I’m still here. If you’re reading this I’m glad you’re still here too. You’re not alone. We all have felt it. I’m blessed to have so many friends irl and on the interwebs to make smile and make me smile. Thanks to everyone that i have met in Vegas. Thanks to all of y’all that follow me. Thanks to the creator. Thanks to 6dogs for the energy. You will be missed. If you’re having a rough day, know you’re not alone. If you need a smile..watch this edit and watch a thicc boi fall on the ground a lot. If that don’t work..DM me…we gone get you right. Times is tough but we tougher. I love all of y’all. Thanks to everyone that filmed me for this edit. Massive shouts to Dk bicycles, Tall order BMX, Ethika, Etnies, Gucci, and my family. Now go make someone smile today. I’m not fat, I’m thicc.” – Catfish

2020 9th Street DIY Skatepark BMX Jam

October 5, 2020

There haven’t been a ton of jams going off this year, but we’ve seen a handful go down the past few weeks. Here’s a highlight video from the 2020 9th Street DIY Skatepark Jam that went down out in Ohio. It looks like there was a real solid turn out and a ton of great riding that went down. There’s definitely a few tricks we didn’t expect to see in this. It looks like everyone had a real good time (except maybe the guys that took some heavy slams) and they even managed to get Catfish on the mic for a little bit. Take a peek!

“Best of the best from what might be Ohio’s biggest BMX event in over 10 years!!

9th Street DIY is an amazing do it yourself skatepark in Canton Ohio where so many people have lent a hand in creating the masterpiece in this video. Everyone threw down and no one got majorly hurt. Expect the full raw highlights tomorrow or Tuesday!!

A huge thanks goes out to Gage Sharp, Tristan Newbury, Kevin Bumlife Stovall, and everyone else involved to make this jam what it was including Brimstone Bicycles!!!” – Brant Moore

Catfish – Webisode 3: Russia

January 13, 2016

Ever wondered what a Russian BMX contest is REALLY like? Well, let Catfish show you how things went down at the XSA Invitational this past summer… Absolute madness.

“I went to Russia for the first time in October. I was hired to announce the XSA invitational in Sochi. It was hands down one of the craziest events I have ever worked and I can’t wait to go back. This one is more lifestyle as its hard for me to film and announce the comps. Shout out to XSA for bringing me over. Kevin, Pat, Larry, Fudger, ALEX at XSA for making it happen..and all the new friends we made. Hope you guys like this!”
