In this episode is a first for the boys as they packed the camera and their bike bags, then flew into Adelaide to film the latest podcast at Pirate Life Brewery.  As guests of the Sam Willoughby track building crew, Recreation Living, the morning of the podcast recording Khalen and the old guy test rode Australia's latest SX track build to give it the BMX, Beers and Bullshit seal of approval.
Then with the backdrop of one of Pirate Life's conference spaces, there was a line up of 3 Australian Olympic BMX racers on the couches (Anthony Dean, Brian Kirkham and host Khalen), along with the SW91 track builder (s) Trent Lupton, and main test pilots Max Cairns, Jake Svens and David Gosling. This track is being built, and ridden along the way and we chat about how the f*#k you get a $6M project off the ground and what hurdles and challenges the crew have overcome during the build. What changes were made from the plan and when it's likely to be up and running for the SA BMX community.
Then the boys that repp'd Australia at the O-Show chat about life during their careers, and what they're doing now days. A real insight into what it's like to represent your country and whether the sacrifice was worth it. Compulsory watching for those new to the sport to learn about the history of BMX as it entered into the Olympic era.
Massive thanks to Pirate Life Brewery for giving us a cool spot to record, and supplying the beers to lubricate the chat. And to Trent from Living Recreation for the weekend and sneak preview of the SW91 track

The Boys have had a break to reassess their BMX racing goals and aspirations after the head of Podcast High Performance called a meeting and opened several spreadsheets. As the Boys sat with the heads down, being berated for their pitiful download percentages, they silently vowed to return as fitter, stronger, and nastier BMX podcasters.
This week they get the alloy and carbon bats out and take a big swing at BMX race development in Australia, or lack there of. KY discloses that he rebuked a generous salary package offered to be state coach. Saying that you can't buy my love that cheaply. Salty reminisces about his first Aussie title in 1984, and is worried that the current administration might travel back in time and tap a phone call when he says something about the shit track in Malaga that was all concrete and tarmac. Pissed that Tyrone Butt wearing pink race gear beat him at a club night before the big one at Byford.
We chat about that MC Pistol Pete and our old mate the Wildman. Plus Salty adds up the death count from last week's Queensland State Titles, where the loser was the QAS as they watch the Ipswich ambulance fleet's depreciation cop a hammering from all the extra miles they did carting out the bodies from the Hacksaw Ridge BMX track. 
The Boys are on the Soapbox and rambling. They get the felling there will be another meeting called and their beer funding might be in jeopardy.  

The Boys have Anthony Dean on minutes after announcing his retirement from Pro BMX racing. He recaps his Pro BMX career and talks about what it meant to him to represent Australia at two Olympic games and the struggles of taking on the world from Downunder. From the distance us Aussies have to travel, to the selection process that riders have to endure just to earn a sandwich and a cold bottle of water from the high-performance esky. It wouldn't be BMX without controversy, and there's plenty in this episode. Grab a beer, sit back and listen to Deano's story.

This week the boys tackle the big issues. Global warming, border closures in Australia and of course, who's coming in hot for the 2021 Elite World Champs. Plus, they drop the news on who their first guest will be! Tune in to see if the boys got any stats right, and if AusCycling has started to share the show on their social media. BMX, Beers and Bullshit. It says it on the tin, though contents may have settled during transport. 

It the post Olympic BMX show! Who won? Who lost? Who's dropping their resume off to Starbucks to start their career as a barista? KY and Salty break down the semis and finals in the racing. Then look over the top of the spine at the cool kids in the park and marvel at the glittering GOLD that Aussie Logan Martin won and wonder how much the sprinkle of high performance coaching landed on that polished Hyper frame. Look out, Khalen is driving the bus without a license and no one is safe. 

The Boys rip open a couple of cans and discuss what went on in the motos today at the O-Show. Who made it, who's heading back to the village in search of love. 

The 2020/21 Olympic Games have begun, the BMX athletes are in the village and in this episode Khalen looks back his pathway to competing at the 2012 Games in London. Giving his insight into navigating the qualification process, and lifting the lid on missing selection in 2008, and his career turn around to be selected for 2012. Did the Games change his life? Did it bring fame and fortune?

Then the Boys turn their attention to the upcoming event in Tokyo and check in on a bunch of current and old school crew for their predictions of gold, silver and brown medals. Then they take a punt and look at a couple of Aussie online betting agencies to see if they got it right.

Then they closeout with looking at what went so wrong for Australia to qualify only ONE male rider for racing when the previous three O-Shows have seen 3, 3 & 3 go. 

Cover the young one's ears as this episode has a language and content warning with words starting F, C and acronyms AC, CA and BMXA. 

A short intro to the hosts of the BMX, Beers & Bullshit podcast where you'll hear the boys chat about what the show is about (the title should give you a good hint) and a little about their BMX backgrounds. 

Plus what future podcasts will bring.
