Matt Coplon – The BMX In Our Blood Podcast

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

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!

Trey Jones sits down for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast!

The latest interview from The BMX In Our Blood Podcast sits down with the one and only Trey Jones to talk about a TON of topics from Jesco Jones’ dating status, if he will be changing his name to Trey Cranmer, a lot of talk about mid school BMX, what he has going on with Shadow Conspiracy, Subrosa and Vans these days and more. This one is 3 hours long, so it’s the longest interview for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast, but it’s a real good listen! Hit that play button and take it all in.

“Trey Jones is one passionate and determined 25 year old. He has already put down two major BMX events with Swamp Fest 1 and 2 as well as being sponsored by two major companies for over ten years combined, Cult and now Subrosa. Trey is proud to call Central Florida home and equally as proud to be a Lynyrd Skynyrd listening redneck that drives a 1979 TransAm as though he is Burt Reynolds. In the interview we cover the good, the bad and more good as we discuss the ups and downs of Swamp Fest and the responsibilites of being a pro that sometimes involve having some thick skin. I found Trey to be enthusiastic, proud, passionate and ready to talk at length on any topic…and so we did! Follow Trey through @treyjonesucks on IG, www.florideah.com or through his sponsors…

Tom Dugan sits down with Joe Doherty for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast!

Man, Joe Doherty has been super busy recording these podcasts! Here’s the latest for The BMX In Our Blood podcast where he sits down with Tom Dugan to talk about everything from how he got into BMX all the way up through what he’s working on for projects now, with everything in between. As always, Tom has a ton of crazy and funny stories, so this is a super good listen. Hit play and take it all in!

“Sometimes you meet people in BMX that are so crazy on the bike and off that you can only assume how the conversation is going to go and just hold on tight. As Gary Young said, Tom (or Tommy as the girls say) is a free spirit. He ended up being so awesome to talk to. As it usually goes, the guest figures that 30-45 minutes is the limit for what they have to talk that may be interesting. I’ve never had that problem with this podcast and Tom was a believer when two hours flew by. It was super cool to have Gary Young surprise us by joining in as well! Anyway, Tom is a solid guy with amazing skills and no fear. So good to watch! Look for Tom on June 9th when the XGames Real BMX show airs on ABC. It is produced by Stew Johnson and judged by podcast guests Scotty Cranmer and Trey Jones (coming up next) while hosted by another past podcast guest, Chris Doyle! Pretty cool, can’t wait! As always, please find this podcast through these podcast apps – iTunes, Tune In or Stitcher OR through the www.thebmxinourblood.com site where you can support the show through donating or buying merchandise safely.
