Talking With The BMX In Our Blood’s Joe Doherty

Brant Moore hit us with a link to an interview he did with Joe Doherty to discuss what he’s been doing with The BMX In Our Blood Podcast, along with a bunch of questions to get to know Joe a little better since it’s a bit of a role reversal since Joe is usually the guy asking the questions. This is an interesting listen, so hit play and take it all in!

“The BMX In Our Blood took over the BMX podcast scene over a year ago and in that time, Joe Doherty has interviewed many many names in BMX both huge and small.
With that, I noticed that no one had interviewed Joe and naturally wanted to make it happen.

This past weekend at The Wheel Mill Next Generation Jam, I had the opportunity to make it happen. We talked about how the podcast has affected him as a person as well as his outlook on the value he tries to bring in doing it.

This hour went by so extremely fast and we had to get out to the jam, so its not as long as it could be; which only means there will be a follow up!“

John Lee – The BMX In Our Blood Podcast: Part 1

Leave a Comment

Here’s a fresh episode of The BMX In Our Blood Podcast to check out! This time around Joe Doherty caught up with John Lee to talk about being the nicest guy in BMX, FBM, recovering from a crash that landed him in the hospital, riding, family and more! John is a pretty low key, behind the scenes guy, but he’s always been doing amazing work! This is a super good listen, so hit play and enjoy!

“FBM’s John Lee IS the nicest guy in BMX! Part one of this interview is loaded with emotion as well stories of overcoming trauma through his caring friends and family. There was so much important content to this part 1 podcast that we decided to quit at midnight and finish it up in a few weeks. The questions from you listeners are ready to go!
John Lee is arguably the most inspiring BMXer I have had the opportunity to interview. If you don’t know John or know him but want to learn more, it’s all in here. I was so taken back by his emotion as he talked about his family and friends being there for him from the time of his accident (which he describes in detail). What a great way to kick off the podcast after a month of reflecting, healing and refocusing my personal goals in podcasting.
You can find John at fbmbmx.com or on IG at @popboy905

Matt Coplon sits down for an interview for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast…

The latest interview from The BMX In Our Blood podcast has arrived. This time around Matt Coplon from Profile Racing sits down to talk about everything from how he got into BMX and his job at Profile Racing to what he’s into these days when he rides to being vegetarian and straight edge, music, writing and much, much more. Matt is one of the best dudes in BMX and this interview kicks a ton of ass. Definitely give this a listen!

“Episode 40, the one I stressed the most for but also looked forward to because Matt Coplon is so well read and knowledgeable in so many areas of life, many of which I’m not familiar with. After all that stressing we found that neither of us had all the answers and just more in common with our passion for BMX. So enjoy the podcast and a couple songs by Matt and his past bands, Reversal of Man and Light Yourself On Fire. You can also find Matt at www.proficeracing.com or through IG by his name. Enjoy the interview and the week!” – Joe Doherty

Here’s one we had a feeling was coming! Joe Doherty caught up with Steve Crandall for the latest The BMX In Our Blood Podcast! This is a super good interview discussing everything FBM and more! This is an hour and a half of great stories, perspective and more! Get ready for part 2 soon as well!

“Steve Crandall, an interview I’ve been looking to do since I started the podcast last October. Drove down to Richmond, VA and was treated to a taste of Steve’s Richmond life. In Part 1 you will hear much about FBM’s history as well as Steve’s history with BMX. Be sure to turn up the volume when walks a bit away from the mic to tend to dinner among other things, those are more moments you will want to hear. FBM is a lifestyle as much as it is a brand. Steve and his FBM crew of riders and employees show that consistently with FBM events and being active with the community. Beyond that Steve talks about his announcing job with Vans and how honored he is to do it. Always bringing the stoke, that is Steve and always will be. you can find Steve at:

The legend Garrett Byrnes sits down with Joe Doherty for The BMX In Our Blood Podcast…

‘

We’re always stoked to check out The BMX In Our Blood podcast, especially this time around! For the latest interview, Joe Doherty sits down with the one and only Garrett Byrnes to talk about a TON of different topics that actually will take two parts to share it all. This is part one, and well worth your time! Hit play and enjoy!

“Garrett Byrnes. I went into this interview like most interviews, interested in the life of a BMXer but not knowing much beyond the person in the photos, documentaries, video parts, etc. This is the reason why I do it. The payoff was huge with Garrett. This is the 1st time I have split a podcast into two parts because there is so much about Garrett that I would love for you all to hear and not feel rushed. So enjoy and remember what is most important in life, you.
Special thanks to Matty of www.crustbikes.com for the interview location and thank you Garrett for trusting me with your story.
As always, support those that support Garrett and the sport

The BMX In Our Blood podcast caught up with Mark and Mike Potoczny!

Here’s one we’ve been waiting for! The BMX In Our Blood Podcast finally caught up with Mark Potoczny and Mike Potoczny! These two brothers have done so much for BMX from throwing massive jams at their trails (The Welcome Jam) to Mike’s heavy involvement with the The Wheel Mill, traveling a ton, hitting up events all over the place and much, much more. These two guys are what BMX is all about. Hit play to listen to these guys talk about growing up and living together, traveling, what they’re up to these days and much, much more. This is a real good listen, so take it all in!

“The Potoczny brothers, Mike and Mark…or is it Mark and Mike? Plenty of joking around about two of the legends of the Pittsburgh scene that continue to make their mark on the East Coast. Both have traveled extensively internationally but love Pittsburgh and will always call it home. Stories from the early days of racing South Park to creating one of the best indoor wood jump lines in the Country at The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh where Mike works while Mark works as an accountant gathering financial information from all of their friends. Seriously, these two were a pleasure to talk to and it makes my day to have met siblings that are so tight. Enjoy and thank you for listening!
