For this podcast, I sat down in Huntington Beach with Paul Roberts to talk all about the 2025 British BMX Hall of Fame inductees. We take a deeper dive into this year’s class, breaking down the stories and significance behind all 23 inductees for 2025.

After the last Joris Daudet / Chase debate, we received a lot of feedback and messages regarding the subject. Along with everything that was posted online, we decided we were done with it.

Since then, Joris reached out, and we spoke for some time on the phone. It was actually good to talk with him and get his side of the story. Christophe Leveque (Chase) also still had a lot more he wanted to say.

So here it is on this pod, and hopefully it’s somewhat balanced, with respect for both Christophe and Joris.

We also talked about some other things going on in the race world, from drug bans to new DRIVERS on teams, the British BMX Hall of Fame, Illinois, Nevada, and New Jersey Hall of Fames, fast ’80s riders from Vegas, and more. Check it out.

And yes, we are not journalists, as someone pointed out to us after the last pod—just a few old guys who still like to talk about racing, old and new. 

Dr. J stopped by with our longtime visiting Swiss friend, Szilard Szurdok, and we talked about all things Joris Daudet and Chase Bicycles. Check it out!

In this episode, we sit down with Kyle Kellner for his first podcast appearance. Kyle shares how growing up on the East Coast in a moto-obsessed family led him from riding pit bikes at Budds Creek to discovering the BMX track tucked inside the motocross facility. From watching McGrath and Pastrana on VHS to sneaking onto the local BMX track as a kid, Kyle talks about the early moments that shaped his love for two wheels and how that path eventually led him to the team today.

We talk about Alex’s early days — being friends with Brian Blyther, discovering BMX, and riding at two of SoCal’s famous spots: the Azusa track and Pipeline Skatepark in Upland.

We get into Alex’s friendship with Bo Usher, how he got his nickname “Super G” from a visit to the POW House, and meeting Chris Moeller, McGoo, Brad McDonald, Bill Ryan, and a lot of other key people who went on to become major figures in the BMX industry.

Alex talks about the days driving to the ABA Grands and winning the Pit Bike race, working at S&M, selling S&M and later Super G t-shirts at the races, and putting on the Super G Jams at Sheep Hills and Twin Palms.

We also talk about some of the riders who were sponsored by Super G Products.

Alex then shares one of the most difficult times in his life — getting shot while riding his bike, waking up in ICU, and going through the long recovery that followed.

This is just Part 1 of Alex “Super G”’s story. I had a great day hanging out with him, hearing his stories, and feeling his love for BMX. Check it out!

It was great to catch up for a podcast with U.S. Elite Pro rider Cam Bramer while he was out here in San Diego, getting ready for this weekend’s Holeshot Challenge at the State Finals at San Diego BMX.

Cam shared some insight into his BMX journey, starting out at the legendary South Park track in Pennsylvania — a place many of us have raced over the decades — and progressing through the amateur ranks all the way to Pro. This year, he reached a huge milestone, winning his first Elite National main event in Minnesota, in front of his family.

We talked about what it’s like being a current Pro in today’s tough climate. Despite the challenges, Cam has built a solid group of sponsors who support his racing journey. He also spoke about his recent move to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to further his career, his goal of racing more World Cups, and his ultimate dream — qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles and representing Team USA on home soil.

Cam gave some great perspective on the depth of the current Elite class, his mindset, and his drive to win. I really enjoyed this one — Cam’s a great guy, and it’s riders like him you can’t help but cheer for.

In this episode, we talk about the National BMX Hall of Fame, which Dr. J attended last weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We cover the event itself, who was there, and some of the 2025 inductees.

We also dive into the Pump Track World Championships, where Eddy Clerte was crowned UCI Pump Track World Champion. We share our thoughts on the value of a rainbow jersey for Pump Track and what it means as a title.

From there, we move on to the final UCI World Cup of the season in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, with Arthur Pilard and Saya Sakakibara taking the overall titles. Plus, we touch on the upcoming Enhanced Games slated for 2026—and more.

Eddy King is in town (San Diego), and he and his mom dropped by for a catch-up. We hit the record button on the podcast as well.

We talk about San Diego’s deep history in BMX, some of the early tracks from the 70s, and the current San Diego BMX Track (run by Tyler Brown and his wife), which is one of the longest-running tracks in the U.S.—possibly the longest in history.

We also talk about Hall of Fames popping up around the country and ask: why don’t they have one in San Diego or So-Cal?

Other topics include Dirty Fest, the Oakley 50th Anniversary Party that Ebby attended, the NBA Awards, and the upcoming 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles—how it could be the perfect time for BMX history to shine with a side event, museum, or exhibition running alongside the Olympic BMX events.

We also touch on Harry Leary, some Kellogg’s talk, and more. Check it out!

Over in the UK at the moment, so going to knock out some podcasts while here. First up, one of the hardest-working, dedicated guys I know in the UK – and the guy behind the Malverns Classic – Si Paton.
Si came over earlier this week and we spent the whole day talking BMX, MTB, and more, and recorded an hour’s worth for the pod.

We talk about Si’s early days growing up in Birmingham, riding Birmingham Wheels with local legends Anthony Butt and the West Midlands early-’80s BMX scene. Si talks about skating alongside BMX and getting into the MTB scene when it was blowing up in the early ’90s in the UK.

We talk about Si putting on the National Downhill Series for British Cycling, bringing the Malverns back with backing from Clive Gosling and GT, and the ups and downs of running a monstrous event – plus how things are looking for this year’s event, which takes place in a few weeks’ time.

We also talk about the Bob Haro / Gumball 3000 – IKONIX Bike Launch London event he was part of last week. We discuss the possibility of a Frogtown or Dirty Fest–style BMX event as part of the future of the Malverns, and potentially even the British BMX Hall of Fame.

Lots more covered from mid-’90s Crewe BMX track sessions with Coach/Trainer Bob Fields (RIP), US trip to the States with Nigel Page. We talk Steve Peat, Jason McRoy, Dylan Clayton, Paul Roberts, the Mammoth Kamikaze, We Were RAD, the ’90s UK rave scene, and more.

It was great to catch up with Si, and hopefully we can do it again later in the year.

In this episode, Tyler Brown recaps the exciting 2025 UCI BMX World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark. We talk Elite Men, Women, Men U23, Team USA, a little behind the scenes, and a few other snippets. We also wrap up this pod with a little Summer Camp talk.
