Chad hits the nail on the head about BMX media. The model of just reposting stuff from companies that pay you with a little bit of random other stuff here and there just doesn't make sense in 2022 without also creating original stuff to create value. It also creates a skewed image of what BMX actually is to people on the outside or people who aren't clued in when they visit a page and its mostly stuff that is essentially an ad for the companies that can afford it without even being labeled an ad. Adam 22 and TCU did more for BMX in the hay-day of TCU youtube channel than BMX media has been able to do since. Videos with different pros all over the place constantly. There were instagram slams, games of bike, just random sessions, TCU Tv with so many different people, and so much organic content that it created value while also showcasing BMX at the same time. I would LOVE to talk to Adam sometime about that alone.
LETS GO! DOPE INTERVIEW!
we need the steavie churchill interview hes been inactive for a bit
Ayeee Ayeeee ! ! From a Prince into a King ! ! AMAZING Conversation. 👏🏽👏🏽
Bro was so real for this interview... this channel needs more authenticity
thankful he brought up the family stuff, I found out later in life that I was adopted as a baby too and it is the craziest thing to think about. never knew anyone going through the same thing as me and it was cool to hear a similar story 🍻

Dude, shut up.
Pretty wild having a similar story as chad!! Birth mother was a drug addict, kept my brother who was a year older than myself. Also have a sister In Brooklyn that I have never met and another sister a year younger than me who was adopted by another family but that adoption was an “open adoption” meaning they can change the name and everything. I been trying to find her for literally years and I have had no luck so far. We all have a crazy wild story! Much love chad!
yo that's a banger! ecpetially part about all the work that goes behind the scene
Thanks for still doing BMX interviews!!
Great conversation. I had the conversation the other day about how BMX needs to not be so core for its own sake!
Solid interview chads the man!
Dude is an absolute legend💯
Yessssirrrrr 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 back to the BMX shit keep it going! Interview Charles Littlejohn!

Finally you doing more BMX content. Bring on Mike Aitken to the No Jumper podcast! There's also something to be said about the riders that have a racing background like Aitken and Kerley. The bike control from racing translates in ways that nothing else can.
His split part with Theotis at ranch is still one of my favorite videos
Awesome interview🔥🔥🔥 Need to bring in a T. Bracken's or a G.Hill. Harry Leary is still doing it. My years were Schofield, Bailey, B. Johnson etc....
A staple in BMX fr🔥
Love the BMX content but the interview we really need is a part 2 with the 🐐 Edwin and Hoder. That first interview back in the day was hilarious, Edwin just won the Nora cup legend award, had been goin crazy in the Graff scene, hoder still a beast. I think a pt 2 is well deserved.....tap back into ur roots, alot of the come up fans still here🦾🦾

This interview made you one of my favorite riders. Yo. You gotta lead this BMX shit I think you're a good ambassador to the sport.

Never thought I’d hear a bmxer talk like this fr valid prospective 🤞🏿
13 year old me would be so happy right now lmao idolized this guy for a few years
Chad is a GOAT!!! Great human! Big fan
Fire!! CK a young legend 💪🏾🔥💯
I remember the camp woodward days watching this dude on TV. Him and Sean Ricany
Glad to see this fr him and sean ricany were tight on premium a while back
favourite rider since for more than a decade
Been here since the come up days
I remember watching him fresh from being a racer and Jamie bestwick teaching him flairs at Woodward waaaaaaaay back when he was a little kid
This was awesome
Best bmx podcast.
40:20 i’m 43 and I still ride BMX I’ve still got the Bmx bug in me and want to do stuff on my BMX 👍🚲💨
I always see him and his crew in downtown San Diego!
I just had to comment that this cat has got the dopest nose wheelies on bars and he's just a great bmx rider for real. His balance is a superpower.
Forever one of our greats 💪

A really great way for BMX to grow and do better in the ways that were talked about just before the one hour mark is for people who are widely respected/accepted by bmx as a whole to just talk about it the way they did here. The more people who talk about it the better. BMX fucked up by not realizing that youtube could've been an avenue for SO many people to make money from a massive corporation called Google which could've means less reliance for riders on money coming from the industry. So many people had an attitude like Nah man I'll just go work a full time job I hate then talk shit on the internet about a dude who became extremely successful by just being himself.
San Diego legend!
The nose manual manu ginobli. Kerley’s top tier
dope asf do some more BMX fam

Honestly Adamlz is probably the only biker to go as far as he has in my opinion 🤷🏾♂️ but I fw chad so ups to my him
chads shoes game is crazy
A real one! 🤍
BMX CONTENT LET'S GOOO
I use to watch chad and Sean on fuel tv. The camper Woodward show lol
What they are talking about is rather depressing, real talk though. Chad is at the top but there are not many people at the top, He obviously can look up to Garrett but doing that would be just copying Garrett and not showing his own identity, what he was trying to say that there is no future for him by just trying harder tricks, It was just a way for him to announce he is not at the spot to learn crazier moves. Now that he is a Dad he knows He can't get hurt, that realization when you are perfoming at the top and contemplating if you have the ability to go further is depressing, He knows its time to direct his career more into business and influencing other people than putting him out there to get hurt.
Awesomeness
