Local Legends - Episode 32 with Chris Powell

In Episode 32 of the Local Legends Podcast, I have a captivating conversation with Chris Powell, widely known as Good Flow. Chris's journey into the world of BMX began at a young age, igniting a passion that would lead him to remarkable achievements. From racing at the pinnacle of the sport to transitioning into the 4-Cross (or 4X), Chris's tenacity and enthusiasm are truly inspiring.


In our discussion, Chris delves into the intricacies of his riding and racing journey, recounting his experiences in both BMX and 4X. With a touch of poetic insight, he reflects on the art of skill and flow, highlighting the precision required to compete at the highest level.


But Chris's story doesn't end there. We explore his genuine love for bicycles, including his involvement in assembling bikes for athletes like Olympians Mike Day and Jill Kintner, both of whom are celebrated Redbull athletes.


Balancing his passion for cycling with a demanding family life and a full-time role as the in-house counsel at the local Better Buzz coffee shop, Chris offers how is able to train and managing time and commitments. We also dive into his recent win as the overall winner of the Quick'n'Dirty Summer Series in the men's 16-48 category where he rode the Specialized Diverge STR.


Enjoy my next Local Legend - Chris Powell, aka Good Flow.
