Stew Johnson – Palaver Podcast

August 16, 2019

Here’s one we’ve been looking forward to since Chris Doyle let it out that he was working on an interview with Stew Johnson for the Palaver Podcast. Today is the day that the interview dropped where it turned into over 2 hours of amazing stories and conversations covering Stew’s history in the industry and his film work, along with a lot of other things he gets into like making the “Real BMX” videos happen for the X Games. Stew isn’t a guy who likes to get in front of the camera much, but he did a great job with this. Hit play and take it all in!

“For this interview, I sit down with legendary BMX video maker, Stew Johnson. Stew is responsible for some to the most influential BMX videos of all time and has a career that has spanned nearly 25 years. On a personal level, Stew’s videos had a direct impact on my riding, the way I dressed, and the music that I listened to. I think the same could be said by countless riders from my generation. Stew still continues to push BMX in a positive direction through video; he produces X Games “Real BMX” on ESPN; a show that highlights street riders and filmers and shows what goes into filming a street video part. Watch/listen and find out more!” – Chris Doyle

This is nearly 2 hours long and it’s a real good listen. Hit play and take this all in.

“A natural on a BMX bike, Jerry Bagley rode a wave of success as a top ten dirt jumper at a time when BMX dirt jumping was at its peak.

True to his nature, Jerry doesn’t hold back his feelings, and speaks openly and honestly about the payoffs and pitfalls of his professional BMX career. Enjoy!

Chris Doyle coming through with a fresh round of the Palaver Podcast where he sat down with Kink BMX Team Manager and all around good dude, Jay Roe to get to know him a little better. This one kicks off with some pretty surprising history that Jay was actually a really good hockey player when he was in high school and that’s pretty mind blowing that even I had never heard about before. After that we get a look into more of the BMX side of his life, what his job is like, travelving and much, much more. This is a super good listen, so hit play and enjoy! Once again, REAL stoked to see Chris uploaded this to Youtube.

“Jay Roe left behind the possibility of playing collegiate (or possibly pro) hockey for a life of shipping orders, planning road trips, and 15 passenger vans – a dream job according to him. He is, perhaps, one of my most interesting friends and has a unique/refreshing perspective on BMX and life in general. We cover his life as a BMX TM, his diet, and of course… his… blanket? Listen to find out more about my friend, Jay Roe!” – Chris Doyle

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!
