X Games Real BMX 2023 Best Trick – Live Stream Replay

July 17, 2023

Check out everything that went down at the Real BMX 2023 Best Trick contest!

This past weekend the X Games went off in California, and they did things a little different. They threw the Real BMX Best Trick contest, but didn’t tell anyone where it was going down until the event was live. The best trick contest went down live at the very well known Rincon spot with 10 heavy hitters like Garrett Reynolds, Nathan Williams, Brad Simms, Colin Varanyak and Jordan Godwin ready to throw down on this legendary spot we’ve all seen in countless video parts. Hit play to check out everything that went down and who took the win!

“Watch the spoiler-free full competition of Real BMX Best Trick at X Games California 2023!

Check out a behind the scenes raw cut as well below!

“An hour long session with ten of the best riders in the world at one of the most notorious spots in Southern California. Man, X Games really did it with this one and as you’ll see from this video, it was one of the wildest street jams I’ve ever witnessed… I went into the event a bit groggy from the previous #bmxday jam, but my goal was to get a behind the scenes look at what was going through the rider’s minds before, during, and a bit after the event, as well… Enjoy!

Kanode Knows – Johnny Raekes

March 6, 2023

Johnny Raekes sits down for an interview on the Kanode Knows Podcast!

The latest episode of the Kanode Knows Podcast from Bobby Kanode has arrived. This time around Johnny Raekes sits down for an hour and 45 minute interview. As many of you know, Johnny has been crushing it on a BMX bike for years now, riding for brands like Fiend, along with his newest sponsor Odyssey (Watch his Johnny Raekes Welcome Video if you haven’t yet!). Although Johnny has been putting out wild videos and everything, we didn’t really know a whole lot about him, so this interview was a real interesting listen hearing his story from sponsors to filming, travel and much, much more. This is a good listen, so get on that play button and get to know Johnny!

“Johnny Raekes is a professional BMX rider from Washington who rides for Fiend BMX and recently added to the pro team for Odyssey! We watch his Odyssey Welcome to Pro video together and catch up in general. Really enjoyed talking to him and hope you guys enjoy listening.” – Bobby Kanode
