GrindWorks BMX

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 next chapter in his BMX journey: a brick and mortar storefront.

This podcast was recorded over two discussions about nine months apart. It's a long one, but worth the listen if you have any manufacturing, machining, and other industry-based interests.

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. Feel free to drop a comment with feedback and any other suggestions for us.

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...

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. Feel free to drop a comment with feedback and any other suggestions for us.

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 joke, and then forgot to tell it, so expect a part 2 at some point ion the future.

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.
