Continue reading “Matt Smith, Pt 2: Podcast 058”The Styles for Myles Jam happened on October 8, 2022. The backstory to the jam is mostly told in the first podcast episode found here. Jordan and Kate wanted to do a follow-up after the jam was finished, but it took some time and coordinating before we could lock in a time. Fast-forward to the end of November and we finally sat down to record the wrap-up. For a handful of reasons, mostly discussed in the post for the last episode, this is just finally making its way online.

Continue reading “Style for Myles Jam Wrap-Up: Podcast 057”Sometimes things just don’t go as planned or work out first try. Motivation aside, I’ve been away from home on-and-off for the last month or so, and working extra while I’m around – All while trying to close on a house that has some legal hurtles in the way at the moment.
Continue reading “Delays and Podcast 056”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?
The working title of this episode is “Skateparks Are Like Gaybars” based on an observation noticed during preparing and recording. In it, we dive 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.

Continue reading “The Lowdown, Part 2: GrindWorks Podcast 054”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.

Eddie Olschansky, or Trashfish, spends more time fishing trash out of the river from his kayak than he does on his bike these days. Listen in for how this came about and what he’s doing for his local river in Cleveland.

We also released a new wax, the G Spot, over on the site. You’ll find the link for the wax and some links to check out the podcast on various other platforms as fits your lifestyle after the jump!
Continue reading “The Lowdown, Part 1: GrindWorks Podcast 052 and New G Spot Wax”Whoa – A new GrindWorks blog post! I feel like it’s been forever, but the at the same time the last year has flown by. There’s been a lot of non-BMX stuff at work in my life lately, and the move from Pittsburgh back to Binghamton has not helped with that, but that’s a story for another time (lightly teases a new podcast episode or two).
I posted the design on Instagram a few weeks ago, but we have a new shirt up on the webstore as of last night! Link to the shirt is here: https://grindworksbmx.storenvy.com/products/36091864-pegging-tee

After a long break between the last few episodes, it feels good to have a few on-deck. But due to the urgency with which I want to get episode 050 out to everyone, I’m dropping both episodes 049 and 050 together.
Episode 049 is a solo-cast recorded while driving from Pittsburgh, PA to Binghamton, NY and discusses some supply chain issues with pegs, hints at upcoming jams, and pitches some alternate podcast episodes that may be on the horizon.
Episode 050 is with Derek Nelson and details some of the headaches he has had with the town where his park, HCS, and fabrication business, Spooky Action Industrial Arts, is located. There’s a GoFundMe, as well as several other links below.
Episodes are after the jump!
