What a great couple days with the Road2Recovery Jam on July 25th and the opportunity to record Mike Aitken for #thebmxinourblood I'm pretty sure either of us could have fallen asleep at any given moment as midnight closed in but we got it in! Kind of like right now as I write this! I think you BMX In Our Blood fans will like this one. Lots of fun talk and real talk about traumatic brain injuries and keeping your spirit up no matter what. The surprise call in by Garrett Byrnes was perfect. Always fun and always heartfelt. Anyhow, thank you Mike for sticking it out and coming out to Connecticut allllll the way from Utah with your family! Another big thank you to Fit Bike Co and Odyssey for helping to get Mike and his family out here. It was so great to see Mike and have him there signing posters and shirts. Too many to thank but a really important one is the Trumbull BMX track for allowing me to hold the jam there. Thanks for listening and please subscribe and follow the podcast as I close in on 4 years! Your support has been amazing!

Episode 122 - Mike Aitken

Swampfest was great to me. Not only was the event insane but I was able to spend time with seven different guests that were all amazing! Mark Mulville is the 2nd podcast so far. Keep an ear out for five more! I had a gut feeling about Mark Mulville and what he would bring to the podcast for all of you listeners out there. We didn't just cover all of his amazing video parts from Anthem II to Who Brought The Dicks or his long term sponsor @profile_racing We covered some real life issues of anxiety and depression that is pretty familiar to so many, myself included. We also talked quite a bit about the Casselberry, Pittsburgh, Connecticut and lots of places in between that helped shape who he is today as a rider and a man. Pretty crazy that Mark grew up a couple towns away from me in Connecticut, as a young pre-teen. Mark is also a pretty amazing photographer that loves to focus on the wildlife of Florida, especially gators! I hope you all enjoy this listen, it was beyond my expectations and I am so grateful Mark made the time for our conversation and a couple laps at his trails! 

Thank you Mark!
