Happy Cat Facts Bmx Podcast

Dion (@riderinblack) and Reed (@happycatbasket) proudly welcome their best’est riding buddy and Santa Cruz local, Andy Maguire (@freshdogshirt), to talk about their recent trip to Los Angeles to attend Thee Block (@thee_block) Monster Energy Jam.  The guys start off with how Dion missed his opportunity to obtain his “pro card” by pick-pocketing Dakota Roche, crossing his name out, and writing D-Money’s name in with a sharpie pen. They talk about riding the Courtyard in Santa Monica and staying with their good friend, Greg Ohmer (@moon_dood). Andy and Dion chat about getting/feeling old and attending big BMX jams and how they view them from an “older” rider perspective. Andy goes into BMX conspiracy theories connected to this Jam and the mind control properties of Monster Energy Drink - believed to cause young riders to huck their bodies off gigantic street obstacles as a way to limit population growth. Riders Mentioned: Black Mike (@bikermike37) Nathan Williams (@unite

Reed and Milad somehow talk about BMX without talking about BMX.
