For the latest podcast from Snakebite BMX, Shad Johnson caught up with Haro‘s Brand Manager, John Buultjens, who has been running the show for about 3 years now. Shad and John talk a lot of history from the start leading all the way up to present day with all the ups and downs along the way. There’s no denying that Haro has definitely been back on its game lately and it’s safe to say that John had a big part of bringing the brand back to a core level that it lost over the years. Great interview and well worth a listen! Check it!

DIG just dropped the latest podcast that Shad Johnson did with the one and only Van Homan to talk about a ton of different topics from ay back in the day on up into more relevant topics today. Definitely worth hitting play and listening to this one!

“We sat down with Van Homan while he was visiting Portland late in 2015 and had one hell of an epic discussion. It feels like we covered almost everything and anything ranging from how much of a game changer Standard 3/8’s heat treated axle’s were when they came out, to the classic Trailblazin’ video, filming for both the Little Devil videos, keeping that mindset to keep pushing your riding as you get older, and so so many other things. Van just started talking before we were even ready to go so we just hit record. Enjoy this unscripted and open conversation with a truly influential game changing legend of our time.” – DIG

Shad Johnson – Real Time

August 25, 2015

DIG caught up with Goods BMX‘s Shad Johnson to get his perspective on the perspective of time and age in BMX. It’s definitely an interesting watch and we even get a few riding clips out of him, which kicks a lot of ass, too! Enjoy!

“For some this will seem like an obvious thing to say but sometimes BMX loses sight of where we’re all headed and why we all started doing this in the first place. All too often people are more concerned with “who’s next” or “what’s next” without even fully talking in what’s happening right here and right now… never mind what’s come before. In many ways BMX is now just mirroring the attitudes and approach of the wider society that a lot of us tried to escape from in the first place.

This year marks ten years for Snakebite’s Shad Johnson holding it down behind the sales counter at Goods BMX in Portland, Oregon and around 3 decades for him as a BMXer. He’s beaten the odds to stick with both for way longer than most and he’s gathered some seriously good opinions along the way. Here Shad takes a walk with Chewy and talks openly about the uniqueness of the North West scene, his equal respect for riders young and old, and why we need to give more room to let riders grow, rather than continually cutting them off at the first opportunity. We really should all just slow down and take things in a little more – welcome to episode 2 of Realtime.

July 14, 2015

Make your way over to the DIG website to check out an interview with Shad Johnson, the owner of Goods BMX in Portland, where he gives you 8 reasons why you should not open a BMX shop and 8 reasons you you should probably open a BMX shop. Although there’s a lot of risk involved, it sounds like the reasons you should open a shop outweighs the reasons you shouldn’t.

Snakebite – Ron Wilkerson Interview

June 26, 2015

Snakebite‘s Shad Johnson dropped this rad podcast interview with Ron Wilkerson and Bruce Crimson where they sit around the table munching on chips talking the creation of Abubacas, classic bikes, old contests and more! Some of you older guys will LOVE this one, but I’d imagine you young guns might be a little confused if you don’t know much about BMX History, haha. Either way, hit play and enjoy this!

“From the minute I found out how bad it is transcribing an interview I knew I wanted to do a podcast instead. Last Thursday Bruce Crisman called me and said Ron Wilkerson was in town and I should come over and do a podcast. That was enough for me! I cruised over and we crammed into a room and just talked. Bruce and I talked to Ron about a bunch of things. Hot topics were why he changed the name Wilkerson Airlines to 2-Hip, how the 2-Hip team got kicked off of the Warped tour, the real origin of the Abubaca and numerous stories about the 2-Hip van and Kevin Martin blowing up engines!

This was our first podcast and I really had no time to prepare for this. I think it went over pretty well and I’m excited to do more in the future! If you guy’s here a few breaks in the interview it was just the few times we had to stop the tape due to Ron’s son Zander wanting to come in the room and hang with his dad for a bit and eat chips and salsa with us!” – Shad Johnson
