Shortly after the Style for Myles jam took place I sat back down with Myles' family to discuss how the day went, thank the sponsors, and talk about what's in store for the future.

2 Months to upload an episode isn't too bad, right? Right??

AV drove out to Albany and kicked it with Matt Smith of The Yea. This is a Part 1 episode, with Part 2 dropping...?

How do you define success? A lot of people consider the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence the default definition. But what if there are other goals and motivations? How do we define and measure success in other ways?

This episode dives into this subject and I discuss learning tricks, school, athletics, work, starting a business, social media, and hobbies. Then we tackle a section at the end that is essentially the Lowdown, Part 3.

Myles "Bubba" Roach, 11 years old, was killed on 10/30/2021 at the hands of a school bully. Since this horrific event, his parents, Jordan and Katelyn Roach, have been working on a jam in his memory and working on setting up a non-profit to "put all brakes on bullying".

This episode is a small glimpse into what happened, how the family is coping with the loss, and how they are using it as motivation to help curb bullying for others and promote BMX and other action sports as a means of averting bullying within their community. They've still got a long ways to go in the fight for justice, getting a formal 501c non-profit established, and getting stronger every day.

A lot of you have been wondering where we are, what we're doing, and probably if we are still here. The answers to some of that are in this episode, with at least another, maybe a third episode to follow bringing everyone up to speed on GrindWorks and myself (AV).

This episode was recorded over a year ago on a drive from NY to PA (excuse the poor audio quality) while I was moving my family back to NY. This was all quiet beforehand and announced on this podcast; problem was, I never posted it until now. Listen in, catch up, and send me any questions you have so I can address them on the next episode.

A lot of you may know the name Trashfish from Instagram more than you know the name Eddie Olschansky these days, as he spends more time fishing trash out of the river from his kayak than he does on his bike; If you're wondering why that is, then listen in! This was recorded just shy of a month ago and I am just finally getting around to posting it due to all the craziness going on over here right now. More on that next episode...

There were other supposed to be links to share with this episode, but my notes I took are MIA at the moment... if/when they are found, I'll update this description.

Derek Nelson took some time to sit down and discuss some of the issues he has been experiencing over the last 5 months regarding the shutdown of his skatepark, HCS, and his fabrication business, Spooky Action Industrial Arts, by the town. Things are moving forward and he has been able to operate SAIA with approval from the town, but the status of HCS as a skatepark open to the public is still in limbo with the town. The links to help out are provided below. If you have ever enjoyed the content Derek has created over the years (Road Fools 13, Tree Bicycle Co edits, HCS videos), been to a jam at the park, or just want to support something rad for the community, please do what you can! I will update the links below as more fundraisers are brought to my attention.

Some long-dreaded updates from while I was driving and couldn't avoid recording this episode any longer. Peg updates, jam hints, future episode discussion, and of course some rambling from while I was driving from Pittsburgh to Binghamton for Mother's Day weekend (awe).
