Imprimatur BMX – Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold

The latest Imprimatur BMX Podcast has arrived. This time around Mike Hinkens caught up with Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold to talk about everything from when he got into riding to starting The Daily Grind, filming, traveling, what he gets into outside of BMX from being a dad to construction work he does, talking about his perspective on being straight edge and more. Jon has been crushing it for a long time now, and it’s rad to get to know his story a little better!

“In this edition of the ImprimaturBMX Podcast Mike Hinkens sat down with Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold of Daily Grind and had a quick conversation about the life of an “average” life-long BMXer, running a small BMX brand, and the Straight Edge lifestyle (both on its own and in connection to BMX culture).” – Mike Hinkens
