BMX, Beers & Bullshit - The Official Podcast artwork

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.38 You Better Get a Lawyer, Son. You Better Get a Real Good One

Jun 03 2024 80 mins

A few weeks back racers and their families, who collectively had spent millions dollars to race the 2024 UCI BMX World Championships, experienced Swiss efficiency and precision at its finest as a quarter of them had their race day cut short and participation ribbons handed out to everyone who bothered to show up to presentation on that auspicious Wednesday afternoon.On half of the

Ep.37 Post Tulsa, Pre Worlds and PEDs

May 06 2024 76 mins

We get together after Tulsa to discuss what went down (a lot of riders in reality), and KY talks about his upcoming shot at the Master's title at Rock Hill and whether it's the real deal. We then dive into what it takes on race week to be successful at the World Championship level. How you make the most of your practice and how to manage race day. This all from a rider that has rac

Ep.36 We've got 99 problems and BMX is all but one of them

Mar 22 2024 70 mins

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

Ep.35 Aussie Nat Champs & Grands Wrap for 2023

Dec 04 2023 75 mins

USABMX welcomes back Khalen with open arms at the 2023 Grands and says we still love you even if your own association wants to collar you for taking a breather on the track in Shepp during practice. Shepp and Tulsa are world's apart in distance, a USABMX and AusCycling are galaxies apart in their attitude and approach to BMX racing. In this wrap episode the Boys try to explain why

ep.34 Izaac Kennedy - The Real Deal

Oct 10 2023 88 mins

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. Izaa

Ep.33 Jayce Cunning - What's Up With BMX Racing In Australia?

Sep 26 2023 87 mins

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 w

Ep.32 Dr Jason Richardson - BMX Racer / Olympic Psychologist / Mental Skills Coach / Speaker

Sep 05 2023 113 mins

There is probably no one else with the combination of professional AND racing credentials than Dr J. As well as a successful career as a Pro BMX racer in the 90s and into the 2000s, he's a psychologist that has helped many BMX athletes reach their personal, and performance, potential. KY reached out to Jason during his career and he recalls how it set him down a better path. We tal

Ep.31 Podcast Podiums & 2023 World's So Far

Aug 08 2023 45 mins

The Boys aligned their busy schedules of FIFO work and SFA work to record a quick synopsis of the 2023 World Challenge Champs so far, and chat about (predictably) the massive chasm between development and the current Aussie elite squad. Plus they self appoint themselves as Australia's #1 BMX race podcast, and how they stay humble in the face of ever increasing popularity.

Ep.30 Getting Old Sucks

Jul 02 2023 71 mins

In your teens you had no fear, in your 20s you have a niggling sense of self preservation at the back of your mind. 30s? You have a mortgage and dependents, and past 40? Well shit just hurts getting out of bed the next day after gates.Welcome to your future if you're a young whippersnapper, if you're as old as the older of the the two hosts, then you're already there.KY throws out

Ep.29 Grass Roots BMX, X Games Gold and AC Love

May 19 2023 81 mins

The Boys are back to chat grass roots BMX race programs and the void that exists where gold could be dug. Speaking of which, we lord Boyd Hilder and his X Games gold medal and challenge him to race because he's too fit for freestyle. Then KY wonders who runs BMX because it seems that smiles were rationed over at the WA national round, or weren't packed by the AC roadshow. We're ill
