Adam Roye is the man behind the graphics you know and love in BMX from Cult, Empire, and BurnSlow. He's a man of many emojis and he has a great eye for what doesn't suck. This is our first ever conversation and I'm glad to be able to share it with you guys. If it's past 5pm, crack a beer and listen.
Steve Croteau is the founder and owner of PeepGame LTD. He's a staple in the BMX world and whether you love him or hate him he's been involved heavily for as long as I can remember. I was stoked to have him come over to the place I was crashing at in Venice beach and record this episode! From his early BMX days to how he started PeepGame to how he's got a vision for the future of Peepgame, I enjoyed every second of this conversation. An intense guy with intense passion for what he does, Steve is about as New York as anybody I've ever met from New York.
JJ Palmere is a professional BMX rider, entrepreneur, and recent Arizona transplant. He's super chill and is growing to be a dear friend of mine. Been spending a lot of time together working on videos for PlantsBasically and riding BMX together on Sundays. In this episode we talk about his move to AZ from San Diego, a brief history of his career in BMX, his blooming supplement business, and much more.
Troy Blair in the Arizona BMX Full Length Video Lightworks. It's wild to think of Troy as one of the O.G's since I still remember first filming him at ASU campus for Mediocre at Best 7 years ago like it was yesterday.
Hayden Shimmell in the Arizona BMX Full Length Video Lightworks. Hayden has such a weird stringy poppy beautiful style and worked pretty damn hard to film this section. He was one of the later additions to the roster, and he rose to the occasion. Shout out to him, and his mom for being our number 1 fan.
Just a raw amazing day in downtown Phoenix with the whole arizona scene and plenty of homies from out of state. This day was so rad. If you want Clay and Robbie to put on another event smash that like subscribe comment button.

Full Length BMX Video filmed entirely at night in Arizona by Bobby Kanode Featuring Full Sections from - Joey Motta Troy Blair Drew Hosselton Eric Bahlman Brian Grant aka HORSE Hayden Shimmell Travis Cordova Jeff Wescott Cody & Dawson Clark and Nick Bonnell
From 2013 to 2016 I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be the filmer for Subrosa Brand. When it was all over I was left with a hard drive full of good times, and last year I chopped this video up to "clean out my closet." I can't say enough good things about all the boys, and I had the time of my life. This is kind of the DVD that never happened.
On this day of giving thanks, I'd like to celebrate the family that is the BMX scene in Arizona. Thank you to everyone involved for putting up with me. *heart signFeaturing:
