#140 - Life Update Solo Episode
I haven’t posted in a while — here’s why.From finishing Mediocre at Best 2, to hosting a premiere with 300 heads in the room, to sobering up, getting flown to Spain and Croatia, going through a gnarly breakup, crying in Sprouts, dancing in Greece, and feeling like myself again — this is everything I’ve been through the last few months.I’m grateful. I’m inspired. I’m a little tired. But I’m still here. And I want to keep making stuff that feels honest and fun.If you’re down to ride with me into t...

#139 - Sean Burns
Sean Burns is a BMX legend. Roof drops, broken spines, Bone Deth, horror movies, mental health battles—you name it. In this episode, we talk about how he started, what almost ended him, and why he’s still here creating weird, brilliant stuff. From his new short film Mr. Entity to dealing with PTSD to duct-taping umbrellas to tripods, this conversation is exactly as chaotic and honest as you’d expect. If you know, you know. If you don’t… you will.

Hey guys! Hope everything is going well for you this week. This is an interesting episode for sure. Ralph is a human like the rest of us and has been through some real tough times. His message about iron deficiency is something I'd never heard about but we think it's pretty important and if it can help just one person it's worth sharing. Rest in peace to Eric Schalles. Life is short and you should hug your homies. Toward the end we get a peek into what's going on with the bike shop and with Anim...

I really enjoyed this conversation. Calvin's life is a movie. I tell him in the podcast, he denies, but then he proceeds to tell insane stories that would only happen in movies. He's the filmer and editor for Kink BMX and he's been an absolutely savage pro rider for longer than you've had chest hair. I hope you enjoy dis here episode and have a wonderful rest of your week. https://www.instagram.com/calvinkosovich https://www.youtube.com/user/calvinbmx ______________ Kanode Knows is supported by:...
