We're back with another Podcast in association with the awesome folks at Snakebite and this one is with none other than the legendary Brian Blyther, the man who pretty much brought style with substance to bike riding. We sat down with him at the Haro office to talk about the Pipeline years, riding for Haro through the golden era and then making the jump to GT during the dead years, Ron Wilkerson's blatant abuse of rental vehicles, life as a bike riding cop, his modern day re-connection with Haro, and what keeps him riding after all these years.

Sit back and listen to some great tales from one of the most influential riders of all time and look for more DIG X SNAKEBITE podcasts soon along with our own solo series of DIG podcasts. Just let us know who you'd like to see interviewed by ourselves or Snakebite and we'll do our best to make it happen.

We sat down with Eddie Fiola, concrete ruler and the original 'King Of The Skateparks'. We go over riding in the late 70's to early 80's, Jeff Watson, his GT days and how that ended in the middle of BMX's biggest recession, the movie 'The Hangover' and how Ed Helms used to ride plus so much more. Eddie was BMX's first super star and it was awesome to learn and hear how much he cares about BMX and that getting out on the bike with some good friends is what still inspires him.

We sat down with Van Homan while he was visiting Portland late in 2015 and had one hell of an epic discussion. It feels like we covered almost everything and anything ranging from how much of a game changer Standard 3/8's heat treated axle's were when they came out, to the classic Trailblazin' video, filming for both the Little Devil videos, keeping that mindset to keep pushing your riding as you get older, and so so many other things. Van just started talking before we were even ready to go so we just hit record. Enjoy this unscripted and open conversation with a truly influential game changing legend of our time.

Van Homan  - DIG X SNAKEBITE Podcast

Pete Augustin is one of kind. Inspired in kind by the legendary Dave Vanderspek he was one of the first guys to literally put some 'meat' into the early 'meet the street' contests. Always going against the grain with a gnarly zero bullshit approach Pete has never stopped riding but yet has never really  fitted in. 

Late in 2015 we were over at a BBQ at Dave Voelker's house and luckily enough the legend that is Pete Augustin was there. We were lucky enough to get himto to take a break from seeing friends to talk to about his early days riding in San Diego, his Schwinn and CW years, Mission Trails, The Dirt Bros, bashguards, why having soul is still important in your riding, and interestingly how he sees the 'BMX circus' of the eighties returning to the detriment of how BMX is shaping up today. Pete doesn't hold back when it comes to saying what he thinks. Enjoy the podcast and don't forget to subscribe to this channel on itunes. If you rate and review the series it's greatly appreciated!

Pete Augustin - DIG BMX X SNAKEBITE Podcast

You may not be familiar with the name John Buultjens (or even be able to pronounce it - hence his nickname 'Scottish John') but this guy's story is a true BMX fairytale of sorts. Brought up in Scotland UK he seen his way through some very tough times both on and off his bike before moving to Australia in the 90's where he eventually became involved with Colony Bikes, Forgotten and his own brand Pilgrim. Despite continuing to ride non stop since the early 80's it was in Australia that  he developed a passion as an Old School BMX collector, going to extreme lengths (often financially) to re-create the bikes of his youth. The obsession lay mostly with Haro Bikes and he built a personal collection and knowledge of their 80's bikes that at the time surpassed anything that the brand themselves even had. John even went to the extreme lengths of having look-a-like sprockets and cranks re-engineered for the bikes in Taiwan. It's safe to say that for the first decade of this new millennium John knew more about Haro than Haro knew about themselves. 

John was making connections along with way becoming good friends with Bob Haro and getting much closer with the current owners of Haro bikes.  Eventually the coolest possible opening came his way and John became the brand manager of Haro BIkes - the company that shaped his youth and the one that he obsessed over in later life

We sat down with John at the Haro HQ in California late in 2015 to talk about his his journey to becoming a Haro employee and his renewed vision for the company. We also talk about his violent past growing up in Scotland, riding with so many influential people in the UK during a time when BMX was virtually non-existent and the insane amounts of money vintage collectors will spend on parts. All in all it was an incredible day learning about John and  one of BMX's oldest brands.

John Buultjens - DIG X SNAKEBITE podcast

Keith Treanor has been around. From being a team rider on S&M in the early nineties to his involvement with Menstural Cycles (one of the first spin-off brands from a core bike company). From stand out parts in legendary videos like Dirty Deeds and S&M BMX Inferno (a part which he hated). From being a visitor to an early Backyard Jam in the UK (a trip which had a huge impact on him and those he met along the way) to being a regular focus of UK based print mags the time. From eventually moving from Southern California to Florida and working with UGP, and then at a much later stage moving to OKC and working with Hoffman Bikes and then eventually back to So Cal to work with Volume/Demolition and eventually Colony Bikes where he is today. And somewhere in between all of this he's battled with some serious addiction issues. Yep, Keith Treanor has been around and knows more about our world of BMX than most.

Late in 2015 we sat down with a full room of friends including ,Vince Kroff, Evan Lane, Paul Covey and more and got Keith to tell some stories after a long weekend of riding. We go in to his early days on S&M, filming with Dave Parrick, being a Sprocket Jockey, his battle with alcohol, and how he found his way back to BMX. This is a great listen.

We up with the legendary OG UK vert shredder Lee Reynolds and sat outside his shop 'Hunt & Gather' in San Diego to talk all things Old School BMX and beyond. We covered the US So Cal 'British Invasion' of UK BMX riders in the late 80's, his years on Haro, the Enchanted Ramp, working for for Fox in the late 90's and how an injury helped him become a successful DJ.  Enjoy and be sure to let us know in the comments who you'd like to see interviewed in the future.

Editors note: The UK magazine that Lee and Shad refer to early on in the podcast is BMX ACTION BIKE and we can confirm that the answer to where Ian Morris comes from is WALES.

One day late in 2015,​ and after BBQing and riding the legendary Dave Volekers' backyard ramp in his hometown of San Diego for about an hour, I sat down with him and pressed record for this latest DIG X Snakebite podcast. We discussed the worlds first ever street contest, his Dyno days, coming out of retirement to ride in the X Games, caring more about true soul riding more than competing, and so much more. Dave's true passion for riding has always seemed shine through since his first legendary video and magazine appearances in the eighties right through to today, and I felt so privileged to share the stories some of those experiences first-hand with Lord Voelker himself!​ - SJ​

​​Nina Buitrago​ is perhaps the best known and most respected female BMX rider in 'our' wide world of bike riding. Earlier this year Snakebite's Shad Johnson sat down with her in Austin and talked about pretty much everything, starting with those early days of growing up on Long Island and being mentored up by Manmade's Daren Meenan and street legend Vic Ayala. ​

We follow that with a chat about Nina's midwest days spending time riding the original Chenga and working at Ray's MTB park, and in there somewhere we pretty much talk about everywhere she's lived and all the scenes she's been a part of. We also talk to her about the growth of the girl BMX scene and her endless search for other girl riders in the early days, not to mention travelling, living in NYC during 9/11, getting into fist fights in Paris, and so much more. Nina has not only done a lot for female BMXers but has contributed so much more to BMX in general by keeping the spirit alive of finding new riders and making new friends. Enjoy!​

Editors note: At one point Nina chats about the first time she heard her now adopted nickname (Nina Burrito) at the Brighton Backyard Jam from who she thought was our legendary  DIG photographer Ricky Adam. Turns out it was his video making farting brother, Peter Adam (DIG, Still United etc). The DIG influence runs deep for all the important stuff eh.
