    Captain sweatpants throws the shocker!

    Colin Varanyak is on fire, I share a Brian Foster quote about buying more time as an over 30's pro BMXer, the Supreme S&M Dirt Bike is now on eBay for $18,500*, and I get all choked up toward the end of the podcast! Enjoy!

    What a feeling!

    What a feeling!

    Once again, no guest.  Random ramblings and thoughts. And, once again, a podcast episode named after an 80's pop song!

    Morgan Wade

    Morgan Wade

    What can you say about Morgan that hasn't been said already? Morgan exploded on to the scene in the early millennium and has maintained a solid career in BMX for over 15 years now.  X Games medals, Nora Cups, video parts, etc... there's very little that Morgan hasn't conquered in his career.  Even with all his accolades and accomplishments, Morgan refuses to slow down and continues to bring his riding to, quite literally, new heights! This interview comes hot off the heels of a stellar year on the bike having just medaled in this year's X Games and winning best trick at Battle Of Hastings.  Even though once labeled as a "loose cannon", Morgan is extremely calculated and - dare I say - brilliant when it comes to his style of riding.  He can break things down and explain tricks in ways that I've never heard any other rider be able to do.  Even though I was slightly unprepared for this interview, I really love the way that it turned out... and I hope that you like it, too!

    Todd Walkowiak

    Todd Walkowiak

    Coming from the legendary P.U.S.H. trail scene in Pittsburgh, PA, Todd Walkowiak made a big splash in BMX when dirt jumping was at it's peak.  Todd's riding was technical, creative, and consistent which brought him to the top of podiums in various dirt jumping contests around the world.  Todd is also THAT GUY that is seemingly good at everything he tries and, even though he's talented and smart, he's incredibly humble, saying "If you're prepared then things are easy...".  Listen to find out more about one of my favorite riders of all time, Todd "Barspiniak" Walkowiak!

    Ryan "Biz" Jordan

    Ryan "Biz" Jordan

    Hailing from Lynn, Massachusetts, Ryan "Biz" Jordan has had a BMX career that has spanned over two decades... and shows no signs of slowing.  From the trails to the rails, there's very little that Biz hasn't conquered during the course of his career.  Biz remains, to this day, one of the most gifted (and underrated) all around BMXers of all time.  At the age of 38, Biz has most recently put out a hard-hitting street part in Mike Mastroni's "Headlights" video.  Biz is very current in BMX media therefore I didn't want to try to create a story where there wasn't one or try to delve into BMX philosophy.  This is simply two friends sharing some stories, talking some shit, and having some laughs.  Enjoy!

Love hearing Chris’s thoughts and stories

I’m JUST NOW getting into podcasts and I’ve known about Palaver for a while now but just started listening to it. I really like getting to hear the stories Chris has about many riders and hearing the pro guests tell their stories as well. All these guys are from when I was riding and brings back so many good memories from my time. Thanks for doing this Chris, even when you don’t have a guest, hearing you ramble and talk about crazy scenarios is funny.

Good dude.

Got to spend some time on the track, trails and b-cube with Todd when I was a youngster. I always admired his attitude toward everyone.

Feeling the fandom

Doyle is clearly one of the nicest people ever, and it shows in his interviews. This was my 2nd, and it did not disappoint. Really got deep in some of his questions.
