“Anything Goes” with TJ Lavin and Forrest – Matt Beringer Interview

Leave a Comment

TJ Lavin and his buddy Forrest have a new podcast called “Anything Goes”… This time around they talk with Matt Beringer who discusses something private that he hasn’t let out to the public before.

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.

As always, send in your questions to TJandForrest@gmail.com.“

Hangin’ with Lavs – Ryan Mills

Leave a Comment

It’s pretty wild how peoples lives can take some serious twists and turns. Ryan Mills was a Pro rider that basically disappeared a few years ago and didn’t really hear anything about him. It turns out he ended up taking a trip down a road with drug addiction that basically destroyed his life. Ryan has been working his ass off to get his life back and has been sober for close to a year now, and he’s been willing to tell his story to hopefully help others that might be caught up in a bad situation. Ryan has been getting back into BMX to help him stay sober, which has been really beneficial for him. TJ Lavin had Ryan stop by to sit down and tell his story for the latest “Hangin’ with Lavs” interview. This is definitely an interview you’ll want to check out.

“Ryan Mills is one of the most talented street riders from Vegas. He’s been through the ringer due to a lot of bad decisions but he’s pulling himself out. Watch, listen, and learn… Honored to have this guy in the chair!“
