BMX, Beers & Bullshit - The Official Podcast Bruce Morris & Khalen Young
-
- Sport
Australian based BMX racing podcast hosted by Olympian Khalen Young and a washed up BMXer, Bruce Morris. Basically a couple of old guys who love BMX and want to share their knowledge and enthusiasm of BMX with the great unwashed. Khalen Young needs no introduction - 2012 Olympian and 2008 ABA BMX - AA Pro #1. To name but two highlights of a stellar BMX career. He started racing in 1989, so has seen his fair share of BMX on the World's elite BMX stage, from WA to London and beyond. These days you'll find him clipping in and lighting up the young pups on the West Coast of Oz.Co-host Bruce Morris's world hit the perfect lip, turning 13 in the year 1980 as BMX started to explode in Australia and has ridden that wave right through to today. He's buried deep in the BMX industry, juggling duties as LUXBMX's race guide, with coaching and racing occasionally. Both boys have seen the landscape change (literally) before their eyes, from tracks that barely rose from the earth, to the linoleum like surfaces the kids demand to ride today. In between them, there's not many people from the world of BMX they don't know, and who they can call up for a yarn.

Ep.36 We've got 99 problems and BMX is all but one of them
Don't be fooled by the clickbait title, everything in the Boy's BMX world is just fine. They just wish it was 1984 still and QANTAS still sponsored the Aussie champs. Clips weren't even a twinkle in Darryn Hill's eyes, and the meat wagon didn't cart off corpses after every crash. Been a long gap between episodes, so lots to catch up on and of course the 4 World Cup rounds. The old guy only mentions his 600mm a couple of times and puts his hand out for funding for a Rock Hill trip. #GFM o...

In this wrap episode the Boys try to explain why USABMX makes every effort to welcome the rider, and fans to their race, the #greatestraceonearth and leave ...

ep.34 Izaac Kennedy - The Real Deal
Izaac Kennedy hit up the Boys and said he had a few things to say, and could he come on to give an insight on what it's like to be in the Australian BMX high performance program under Sam and crew. Of course we grill him on what's the special sauce that has seen him rise to be the fastest elite racer that Australia has currently and how his rehab from the Reno injury is going. Izaac also explains what he feels is lacking in the Australian domestic program and the "pathway" that young riders s...

Ep.33 Jayce Cunning - What's Up With BMX Racing In Australia?
Jayce Cunning needs no introduction to Aussie BMX race fans! He's a crowd favourite, the kids love him and the mums want to cuddle him. Plus he's fast as fuck and he wants to know why AusCycling doesn't get out there and promote the F out of BMX racing as the perfect foundation for kids learning to ride a bike. WTF is riding does under a pool noodle do to promote bike handling he wants to know. Send that kid off a 8m hill and he/she will soon figure out what it takes to manoeuvre around a car...
