GrindWorks BMX

This episode's guest is a film-maker who moved to Binghamton as a teenager and someone who I personally quickly became life-long friends with. From BMX Videos filmed on low-end handycams to advertising to full-on documentary productions, Jon Walley has found his voice through film and sound. He was in town for the final filming day for his new documentary Contact back in August and we got to c...

Alex Capalongo came by to talk about an upcoming jam he is hosting this month in Ithaca, NY - The Lost Bowl Jam. This was recorded about two months ago and then per usual, it took longer than it should have to edit. Feel free to drop a comment with feedback and any other suggestions for us.

James Yusczyk is no stranger to the GrindWorks podcast, in fact he was a part of the last episode we posted as well. But it's been a while (Episode 002) since we did an episode about what's going on in his life and updates thereof. As noted at the beginning of the show, we are going to be taking our webstore down for a while at the end of the year, so if you are in the market for anything, make su...

Andy Rozelle has a new project underway and wanted to tell you all about it and a NWC reboot with a big merch drop coming soon. We also hammered out a definitive(?) guide to "what is street?" in case you cared about the opinion of two washed up bike riders. And a whole bunch of other things as well to fill hours of time. Feel free to drop a comment with feedback and any other suggestions for us. T...

I haven't met many people like Jake The Hippie. He does things his own way and is always having a good time in the process. He has his fair-share or haters out there and he never lets them get to him - in fact, he may just be trolling them. But you'll have to listen to find out.

Tim Hankins is a St Louis local; owner of both Tim's Pre-Owned BMX Shop and Capital BMX Brand; and soon-to-be host of street jams in all 50 US states while living out of a bus. Tim addresses some negativity surrounding himself and his jam series and then discusses his desire to push beyond being "cancelled" and to complete the jam tour before settling back into St Louis to pursue the...

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...

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 motivati...

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...

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...

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 l...

Josh Sorrentino and Kevin Czuba came down to Pittsburgh for a weekend and while they were in town, we recorded this podcast episode. This was over a month ago and I am just finally getting around to posting it. There's a lot going on over here and hopefully I'll be able to update everyone soon. For now, give this a listen and just know that Josh came on with the intention of telling one specific j...

Things have been pretty sporadic lately, but we managed to get Matt O'Connell in the studio "remotely" to chat about bikes and his video project, BitchCranks Annonymous.
