Kanode Knows – Catfish, Morgan Wade & Koji Kraft

January 30, 2024

Catfish, Morgan Wade and Koji Kraft drop in for an interview on the Kanode Knows podcast!

The latest episode of Kanode Knows from Bobby Kanode has arrived. This time around he had a little over 2 hour conversation with Catfish, Morgan Wade and Koji Kraft talking riding, traveling, shows, plenty of wild stories and much, much more. When you get 3 legends like this together, you know it’s going to be pretty hilarious. Take a look!

“Catfish, Morgan Wade, and Koji Kraft walk into a condo…

Catfish is the best BMX personality in the game, a world-class announcer, and pretty legendary biker. Morgan Wade needs no introduction with several x-games medals and the fact that he can say he’s done a 27 foot 1 handed invert. Koji Kraft is an OG legend.

Life ain’t real. Enjoy!

Vert Mission 2019

May 29, 2019

It’s not every day that we get a Vert video to check out. The crew at Our BMX dropped by the Vert Mission 2019 contest that Mat Hoffman threw in San Diego. Here’s a video filled with highlights from the riding to some insight from a handful of familiar faces discussing the current status of Vert from its popularity. It’s not as common as it used to be due to the lack of the number of vert ramps, but it’s safe to say it’s alive and well. Just watching this contest, it would be awesome to see more of these happening since it could very well re-energize this side of BMX. This contest looked awesome.

“A vert event is few and far between these days, but it just so happened that Mat Hoffman decided to throw his Vert Mission event in San Diego. An X Games qualifying event, Vert Mission, gives the top three riders their time to shine at the biggest event in the world. I went out there the day before the event during practice in hopes of filming a “favorite rider” video with DMC and Hoffman, but also had the idea to get the opinions of the dudes riding the event on the state of vert riding… So here’s their answers mixed in with the contest footage and some random banter in between. In no way do I think vert is dead.” – Our BMX

Scotty Cranmer – Game of B-I-K-E: Team Edition

May 27, 2016

The latest Game of B-I-K-E from Scotty Cranmer is a huge list of riders from some of New Jersey’s finest, some of Chicago’s finest, Sean Ricany and David Peraza. This is a very diverse group of guys and things get wild. Hit play and find out just who took the win!

“During the same night we filmed the Epic Game of add on we all wanted to keep the fun going so we decided to play a Game Of Bike with a twist! We took the same concept that I came up with for our Wheel of Misfortune series and applied it to the GOB! We had 4 team captains pick 3 riders each just like school dodgeball and then the captains had to name their teams! We had 16 riders total in this game and it was insane! So many laughs, so many tricks, and so many crashes! One of the best moments was when Ricky Hoffman decided to attempt a 360 for the first time in 4 years! Watch the video and find out who’s team gets the win!”
