Kanode Knows – Ralph Sinisi

August 12, 2024

Animal Bikes boss man Ralph Sinisi sits down on the Kanode Knows Podcast!

It’s a new week and that means that it’s time for a fresh round of the Kanode Knows Podcast from Bobby Kanode. This week he gets on a video call with the one and only Ralph Sinisi to talk Animal Bikes, the Grove Street Bicycles shop he also owns, along with his whole story in BMX which covers a TON of history. If you want to know what it’s like to own a BMX brand, this is one you won’t want to miss.

“Hey der boys! Happy to share this one with you. The legend himself joined me for a conversation about how Animal started, how Animal is still alive, and everything along the way. I think Ralph’s had about as big of an impact on the BMX that we know and love as anyone else in the world. I feel grateful to have him in the game.” – Bobby Kanode

Check out PART TWO below!

“Hey guys! Hope everything is going well for you this week. This is an interesting episode for sure. Ralph is a human like the rest of us and has been through some real tough times. His message about iron deficiency is something I’d never heard about but we think it’s pretty important and if it can help just one person it’s worth sharing. Rest in peace to Eric Schalles. Life is short and you should hug your homies. Toward the end we get a peek into what’s going on with the bike shop and with Animal Bikes!

Hope you enjoy this. (We had to use zoom and I think my audio sucks a little bit but you’ll have to forgive me)

Anyway – support Ralph’s companies!

Animal Bikes – Past, Present and Future: Part 2

October 2, 2015

Man, Epic TV are really taking their time to release these sections! Finally, we have part two from the Past, Present and Future feature on Animal Bikes where Ralph Sinisi talks a little bit more about the past of Animal, then jumps into future projects they have going. Since this was filmed a while back, we would imagine there’s a more specific plan in the works, but it will be good to see Animal getting a jump start again. Take a look!
