Palaver Podcast – Jay Roe

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

Kink BMX – Rainy Day Ramp Session In Argentina

Leave a Comment

Check out how the Kink team spent a rainy day in Buenos Aires…

A little while back, the Kink team spent some time riding in Argentina (Video: Kink In Argentina). One of the days was rainy, so the crew made their way to a spot that was covered by a bridge for some riding. Although the setup was a little rough around the edges, the guys were able to produce some real solid clips!

“We spent a rainy afternoon in Buenos Aires, Argentina back in December, shredding some ramps and makeshift setups under a bridge! Riding from Sean Sexton, Travis Hughes, Agustin Gutierrez, Casey Starling, Darryl Tocco and Jay Roe.

Kink BMX – A Day Down Under

Leave a Comment

The Kink team have cracked and decided to give you a V-Loggish style video for you vlog lovers out there. This is more or less just a raw cut from a full day the team spent in Brisbane. There’s a lot of hanging out and laughs, but there’s a little riding mixed in there for good measure. This gives you a good idea of just what it’s like when a team is out on a road trip stacking clips. There’s a lot more than goes into each of those clips that you see in an edited video. Check it! We have a feeling we’ll be seeing a beautifully filmed and edited video from the trip here in the next few days!

“Finally! We proudly bring you some sort of Kink vlog/webisode/day in the life from the inside with the team, on an actual, real day out in Brisbane, Australia. No faking it, no gimmicks…real breakfast making and just an actual rad day on the road with the Kink Team. Enjoy some antics, riding, and commentary from Travis Hughes, Dan Coller, Calvin Kosovich, Darryl Tocco, Jay Roe, and Alex Bolton!

Filmed by the squad, and edited by Darryl Tocco.”

Filmed by Darryl Tocco, Dan Coller, and Calvin Kosovich in the Southwest USA, California, East Coast USA, Costa Rica, Barcelona, and Latvia. This was an effort to not only get the whole team together, and showcase Kink for 2016…but to also take some time to have fun, shed light on the intricacies of your favorite Kink riders, continue traveling, put a bangin’ soundtrack together, and hope that this project gets you motivated to ride each day you click play!

On top of that….We broke our own guidelines to the video…and present you a full scale, real deal, Dan Coller Video Part. Filmed over the course of 2015 and during the filming for Intervention….there’s not many words that can sum up just how crazy this riding is. It is something you need to witness in video…and hopefully catch a session with Dan in person, to truly appreciate and respect. Dan is pushing burly, fast street riding…at a scary pace.”
