It looks like TJ Lavin has kicked off another Podcast / interview style show to get to know different people a little better, this time with his buddy Forrest Griffin. This time around TJ and Forrest kick things off with a story about TJ getting into a heated moment at Starbucks for petting a dog. After that, he gets the one and only Matt Beringer to talk about BMX, working in his garage as a machinist making bar ends, and probably pretty surprisingly to 99% of you, coming out publicly about being gay to the BMX community. Matt has kept this part of his life to himself and out of BMX for many years with only his closest friends and family really knowing, and there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re stoked for Matt feeling like he’s in a good enough place to let everyone know. This one is just short of an hour, but it’s a really good watch!

Hell yeah, Matt! Stoked for you. Still one of the best to ride a BMX!

“This week, we have a very special guest with Matt Beringer. Matt is the most hardcore guy in BMX and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Matt also reveals something about himself that very few people know. TJ also has a story about his morning at Starbucks.
