Bitch Cranks Anonymous: Podcast 061

There’s something special about a scene that comes together and puts out a full length video. Bitch Cranks Anonymous was the culmination of the Buffalo BMX scene working on just that. And now, they are releasing their second full length that transcends the local scene and includes a lot of travel and friends along the way. The video premiere’s at Breaking Free Skatepark in Rochester, NY on Saturday January 27, 2024 at 10:00 PM EST.

I virtually sat on Matt O’Connell’s couch with Matt, Kevin Czuba, and Louis Kaminski to discuss the making of Bitch Crank Anonymous 2 and some of the challenges during the filming and editing process.

Style for Myles Jam Wrap-Up: Podcast 057

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.

Delays and Podcast 056

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.

Defining Success: GrindWorks Podcast 055

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.

Styles For Myles Jam: GrindWorks Podcast 053

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.

TBT – Trashfish: GrindWorks Podcast 051

It looks like we completely missed posting this episode on here when it dropped, and it was a really good episode, so why not throw it back and remind you to check this one out again, or for the first time.

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.

The Lowdown, Part 1: GrindWorks Podcast 052 and New G Spot Wax

Recorded over a year ago, this episode should start to clear things up as to some of the mystery of where we’ve been and what’s been going on. We know there’s more questions, but that’s why this is only part 1…

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!
