It has been a minute since Shad Johnson has dropped a new Snakebite Podcast, but today he has a banger for you to check out.

KC also talks about his transition to life “after BMX” where he has followed his other interests like fishing. This one is over 2 hours long, but it’s a damn good listen. Hit play and take it all in.

“Mid-shool stalwart and KINK BMX legend KC Badger and I talk about the Arizona scene in the late 90’s, his years on Kink, the Mountain Bike Vs BMX Bike debate, dead bodies at the trails, Fly fishing, and much much more.” – Shad Johnson

Mike has a million amazing stories and this covers a great ones. Take a listen!

“For our latest DIG BMX X SNAKEBITE podcast I was super excited to sit down and talk BMX with long-time friend and legit legend, Mike ‘Rooftop’ Escamilla! We cover his early days, filming for his break out part in Dirty Deeds, the unspoken ’rules’ that crept into late 90’s riding, what it takes to film a video part, and so much more! If you know Mike you know he speaks openly and this episode pulls no punches. I think you’ll like this one! – Shad Johnson

May 18, 2018

Snakebite uploaded this gem from 2002…

Talk about a flashback… Snakebite uploaded this Animal Bikes video from 2002 that features riding from Shad Johnson, Rich Hirsch, Lou Rajsich and John Bristol. We can’t remember exactly what this was for, but either way it’s jam packed with some damn good riding that will bring all of the Mid Schoolers to the yard. Take a look!

Snakebite BMX – Sean Burns Podcast

September 27, 2017

Shad Johnson has just released that latest Snakebite BMX podcast featuring the one and only Sean Burns! This one covers a ton of ground from how Sean got into BMX, riding for Metal Bikes, moving on to start Bone Deth, how he gets girls for the Bone Deth videos, riding, traveling, filming and so much more. If you have the time, hit play and take it all in!

“I sat down with Sean Burns on an extremely hot day in Austin back in 2016 to talk about his early days riding trails, his Metal Bikes days, how to land flat on big gaps and what it takes to run Bonedeth!”
– Shad Johnson

“We’ve been huge fans of this guy since ‘way back when’ here at DIG. At first we were drawn to his riding style and his wild / funny antics, and then it was his stories and contributions to our print mag over the years that kept us even more stoked on him. Nowadays we admire more than ever for not only still killing it on his bike (despite having a riding style that really takes it toll on the body), but for having the energy to shout down the racists, fascists and homophobes online that unfortunately (still) pollute pockets of the BMX world like they unfortunately do in the rest of the ‘real’ world. This interview was conducted way back last year and for endless reasons has taken us forever to publish. We hope you enjoy.” – DIG



Chase Hawk Podcast Interview

February 19, 2017

Now this is a great way to start your Sunday morning off right! Here’s a fresh podcast interview with Chase Hawk to check out! Snakebite‘s Shad Johnson and DIG’s Rob Dolecki sat down with Chase to fire out a bunch of questions for him to answer from getting his start in Racing to what he has going on these days (well, as of last year when this was recorded). This is a great listen, so grab yourself a cup of coffee, kick back and enjoy!

“Shad Johnson and Rob Dolecki sat down with style G-O-D Chase Hawk on a rainy day last Spring (2016) at his townhouse in Austin for Chase’s first podcast. He covers a lot of ground, including his first exposure to BMX at 9th Street, his racing days, witnessing the explosion of the Austin population and riding scene, stealing sandwiches from Wawa during summers staying in Bethlehem, taking everyone’s money via Cee-lo on Road Fools, his Born and Raised comps, how Cult grew so fast, the Joe Rich influence, wrapping up the soon-to-be-released etnies video ‘Chapters’ (Chase’s part is going be an epic one), witnessing an intense beat-down in South Africa, and just a ton of good stories!” – DIG

Snakebite – Aaron Ross Podcast

October 30, 2016

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/290166803″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

The latest Snakebite Podcast has arrived. This time around Shad Johnson sits down with Aaron Ross to talk about a TON of different topics for nearly two hours. This starts off with his days of getting started with BMX and his love for crazy colors and goes from there. If you have some free time, hit play, kick back and enjoy!

“Welcome to our latest DIG x Snakebite podcast and this time round it’s Arron Ross, someone who has undoubtedly made a mark in BMX and as we remarked in our recent DIG 99.5 print interview, is someone who by standard BMX Pro terms is somewhat of an unusual case.
“He exploded into BMX some fifteen years ago and took over through his self sustaining fission energy. With radiant bikes that mirrored his personality, and the extrovertness of one thousand trails riders combined, Aaron hit his stride in the rare period where Props, magazines, AND web videos and social media held competitive ground. He became street riding’s closest thing to a celebrity; an enigma in an otherwise closed off micro universe. To say that Aaron “likes to talk” is indeed an understatement.
” – DIG

“Well it turns out he can keep talking an talking and pretty much every bit of what he has to say it is well worth listening to. Enjoy and our apologies for the random sonic boom noise throughout the conversation. Your guess is as good as ours. Here’s what Shad Johnson had to say about their conversation in Austin, Texas earlier this year.
“We went about this podcast with Aaron a little differently than usual. We had so many people write in and ask questions that we decided to start with those and see where the conversation lead us after that. We go over his early years riding and his ongoing love for the BMX race track, how he got on FBM and what it was like to make the move to Sunday, his thoughts on filming video parts and why he those loves florescent bikes so much.” – Shad Johnson

“Blueprint” – Shad Johnson & Ian Munro

October 7, 2016

Another section from the “Blueprint” video from 2001 for your viewing pleasure! This time around we get Ian Munro and, the man behind the filming and editing, Shad Johnson‘s section! This has a bunch of gold from the streets and a number of different skateparks.

“It is kinda weird writing about your part in the video you made. I always was hoping for a full part but filming duty and me over analyzing my riding kept the clip count lower than i hoped for. Then came along Ian who i had grew up knowing from riding in central Oregon. Ian had just moved to California and was sitting on a bunch of clips. It seemed perfect that we share the part since we had grown up shredding the same stuff.” – Shad Johnson / Snakebite

Dave Voelker Podcast

June 26, 2016

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/270001622″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”600″ iframe=”true” /]

The latest Snakebite X DIG podcast features the one and only Dave Voelker! This starts out with a little story on his blown out knee to a lot of history and more. If you have an hour and a half to spare, this is definitely one to listen in on!

“One day late in 2015,​ and after BBQing and riding the legendary Dave Volekers’ backyard ramp in his hometown of San Diego for about an hour, I sat down with him and pressed record for this latest DIG X Snakebite podcast. We discussed the worlds first ever street contest, his Dyno days, coming out of retirement to ride in the X Games, caring more about true soul riding more than competing, and so much more. Dave’s true passion for riding has always seemed shine through since his first legendary video and magazine appearances in the eighties right through to today, and I felt so privileged to share the stories some of those experiences first-hand with Lord Voelker himself!​” – Shad Johnson
