Kanode Knows – Justin Kosman

May 13, 2024

Justin Kosman sits down for an interview on the Kanode Knows Podcast!

It’s that time of the week for a fresh episode of the Kanode Knows Podcast from Bobby Kanode! This week he sits down with Justin Kosman to talk about Justin’s work from photography to videos and even gets into the business side of things which people looking to get into that type of work will enjoy. Justin has done a TON of work inside of BMX and outside, and you probably have seen something he produced over the years. Plenty of great stories in this one. Kind of funny, I almost died when Justin took me surfing once years ago, haha. Either way, check this out!

“Last year we recorded an episode with the one and only Justin Kosman but he surprisingly had internet from 1997 and it didn’t work out. I was struggling to get an episode scheduled this weekend with Mother’s Day and reached out to Kosman as a hail mary and he was down! I’ve been looking up to this man and his ability to make money with his photography and videography for a long time. In fact when I was in business school, one of my assignments was to find a mentor in the industry I wanted to work in and Kosman accepted the job. I never did much with it but if I ever had questions he was super helpful to answer. So this episode feels a little bit like I’m sharing a session with my mentor to the internet.

You know his work even if you don’t know his work. The Hunt, Vans Illustrated, Red Bull projects, product catalogs, work for Vans BMX, and much much more.” – Bobby Kanode

Directed by Justin Kosman
Produced by Jerry Badders

“Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, and the first name in BMX, announces the industry’s most anticipated video of 2016, ILLUSTRATED. ILLUSTRATED marks another astounding milestone for Vans, marking the brand’s first-ever, feature length global BMX video since the company’s inception in 1966. Directed by respected BMX photographer Justin Kosman, and featuring groundbreaking full parts from some of the biggest names in BMX, ILLUSTRATED gets up-close and personal with the multifaceted Vans pro BMX team as they circle the globe in search of never-before-ridden terrain.

ILLUSTRATED is about paving your own path; a unique ride through life, both on and off the bike. With style, precision and drama at every turn, each rider demonstrates their own chosen direction as they journey across the globe establishing their craft as creators of one truly original art form. In the end, we are graced with a showcase of cinematic adventures, written in scratches and skid marks on walls and rails around the world. This is their piece, their extension and their illustrated reality – this is ILLUSTRATED.

On June 2, Vans will present the world premiere of ILLUSTRATED at the iconic Austin venue, The Mohawk, during the 2016 X-Games. Chronicling another first in Vans’ history, the Austin red carpet premiere will be webcast live on RideBMX.com. Hosted by BMX personality Steve Crandall, the global webcast will feature live interviews with the Vans BMX team, exclusive unreleased bonus content, and the first official screening of the video in full form. The Austin event will cap off with live performances by heavy metal band Sword, alongside a DJ set by Vans skate legend John Cardiel. Following the premiere, ILLUSTRATED will make its international debut across the globe with stops in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and Mexico.

To learn more about the video, tour dates, locations and ticket information visit Vans.com/ILLUSTRATED.

BMX riders adopted Vans in the late ‘60s because of their reliable construction and rugged waffle outsole. The “Off The Wall” philosophy of BMX led to Vans signing on the first officially sponsored BMX athletes in history, Bob Haro and Greg Hill. Decades later, Vans’ checkerboard flag continues to be a global mainstay in BMX and the first in the sport and as the leader in BMX footwear and apparel.”
