June 10, 2018

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!

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…

“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!

Brian Kachinsky sits down for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast!

Joe Doherty has been super busy pumping out these interviews for The BMX In Our Blood Podcasts.

Scotty Cranmer even hopped in on this one! Hit play, give it a listen! Brian is one hell of a guy on and off the bike and a perfect example of what Pro rider is! Stoked n this.

“It’s not too often you talk to a total freestyle badass that is incredibly motivated to give back to the BMX community. Brian Kachinsky is just that person. He and Van Homan have created a three stop amateur BMX freestyle series that started in Maryland, continued in Pittsburgh at The Wheel Mill (where this interview took place) and will wrap up at the Four Seasons park in Milwaukee on March 24th. Please take tips from Brian in this interview and give back to BMX in any way you can. Doesn’t mean you have to put on an event, just create an atmosphere that promotes the sport. So thank you Brian along with Van Homan for doing such great work while continuing to ride like the pros they are. You can support their efforts by going to events and following them on IG at @uncoveredbmx or on their website www.uncoveredbmx.com
Also, as mentioned in the intro, don’t forget to check out www.digbmx.com for the 1st installment of the Under Your Influence series with the Halahan boys. It is so incredibly good. I can not wait to see the next two!

From privately held manufacturers to a corporate monster, JPR has been part of it all. In addition, his own endeavors with Mental Jimmy’s, Caste shoes, Faction magazine and more make you wonder if there is anything he hasn’t tried. If you ever wanted to know more about UGP, S&M, Schwinn, FBM, Shaun Butler, the Foster brothers, the 6 degrees of Magoo, to owing Stew Johnson a tube and tire….listen close.

Robbie Morales “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast

February 28, 2018

Robbie Morales sits down for an interview on “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast…

Here’s another interview Joe Dohrety knocked out during his time at at the FloriDeah Swampfest for The BMX In Our Blood podcast. This time around Joe sits down with Robbie Morales to talk about everything from how he got into BMX all the way through starting Cult on through what he has going on today, riders injuries, life in general and more. You already know this is one that’s worth listening to!

“Ok, I’m a little biased but for good reason. Robbie “Robo” Morales is the real deal. Has he been perfect? Admittedly, no. Who really is? Robbie openly talks about exactly this in the interview. What Robbie has been is an accomplished trail rider, racer, street rider, marketer, company owner and dedicated sponsor to his riders over the years. Having grown up around Robbie I have seen the sincere, the passionate, the obnoxious, the skilled, the fun loving…the everything that makes Robbie who he is today. Everyone learns as they go and Robbie has learned more than most of us in BMX, sometimes the hard way. Bottom line, I want people to get to know the Robbie I know. A mature man that owns everything he has done, perfect and not. I loved taking this interview on and digging into the mind of a passionate BMX lifer that has much left to give. I hope you feel the same by the end of the listen.
Find Robbie at @cultcrew on IG or through the www.cultcrew.com
And please, the next time you see Robbie or contact him on social media…thank him and tell him what an integral part of BMX he has been. We couldn’t and can’t do this without people like him!” – Joe Dohrety
