Palaver Podcast – Darryl Tocco

Chris Doyle coming in hot with a fresh Palaver Podcast episode for you to enjoy! This time around he has Darryl Tocco sit down to talk BMX, traveling, his film work and much, much more. This also has Kink team manager Jay Roe on the show. Since all three of these guys are apart of Kink and have travelled around the world together, you better believe this lead to some awesome stories and discussion. Also bonus for this being put on Youtube as well! I know I’m a fan of this. Check it!

“A true renaissance man, Darryl Tocco took an early DIY approach to BMX by highlighting his own scene centered around a small group of good friends. Darryl’s work on both sides of the lens soon attracted the attention of the BMX industry world wide, landing him sponsorship deals with a variety of BMX sponsors.. all while continuing to provide video content for multiple BMX brands. No slouch ON the bike, Darryl has filmed respectable video parts in an array of BMX videos. In 2015 Darryl received a silver medal for his filming/editing work in @xgames real street with rider Colt Fake. Darryl’s clean professional aesthetic on the bike and behind the lens continues to inspire and motivate the BMX hardcores and veterans alike, and promises to do so for years to come!

I’ll be honest, when I saw the Palaver Podcast pop up, I thought “Oh man, another podcast? Who is doing this one…” and as soon as I saw it was Chris Doyle‘s new Podcast, I immediately changed my perspective and couldn’t click play fast enough. There’s been a bunch of podcasts pop up lately, but knowing Chris is behind this one, we’re sure it’s going to kick a lot of ass. To start things off, he sat Kris Bennett to talk to him about everything from where he grew up to how he got into BMX, riding for a brand like S&M Bikes early on, riding contests with super sketchy builds, digging in the woods, a bunch of funny stories from the years, running Square One, his transition out of BMX into the real world, getting into flipping houses and more! This is a super good listen, so hit play and enjoy!

Chris Doyle sits down to talk about who his favorite rider is and why!

It’s that time for Chris Doyle to sit down and talk about who his favorite rider is and why. Depending on when you grew up in BMX, there’s a good chance you might be able to guess who Chris considers his favorite is… But we’re pretty sure most of you wouldn’t guess it first go. Either way, hit play and let Chris tell you who it is!

“Favorite Rider’s Favorite Rider is a new Ride series that sheds light on the influences of your influencers. Dropping every Wednesday at 10am.

This week is Chris Doyle, who reluctantly pays homage to his good friend…” – Ride BMX

Chris Doyle – Feeble Talk

Leave a Comment

Chris Doyle sits down for the latest round of Feeble Talk…

It’s been a while since Ride BMX has done one of these Feeble Talk interviews, but they’ve decided to bring it back and kick it back off with the one and only Chris Doyle. This one is a wild one since Chris talks in-depth about going into Cardiac Arrest and almost dying, which gave everyone in BMX a scare. After that, he talks about a handful of other tops from favorite riders to the X Games and a bunch of questions from the Kink team! This is a real good listen and watch, so check it out! So stoked on this.

“Well, that “short break” we took was a bit excessive, eh?

It’s nice to have Feeble Talk back and we wanted to do something a bit special by inviting Chris Doyle. Plainly put, Chris is an amazing dude to have on the show in general, but his recent and ultra-scary brush with death makes having him in the studio extra special. When I approached Chris about flying in to film the show, he requested that Calvin Kosovich join him, as he played a key role in Chris being with us today.

This episode of Feeble Talk is obviously a heavy one, but I didn’t want to solely focus on Chris’ recent “incident.” After a few tears were shed, we moved onto the more typical stuff…

Thanks again to both Chris and Calvin for making the trek out and being so forthcoming about what went down on that faithful day in Albuquerque.
