Usually, I give a bit of the introduction bio for our guest here, but when it comes to Kevin Martin, who has been involved in major parts of the BMX scene for most of his life, I am going to leave you with a couple of lines from the stories he told Jon and I. The first is "They stuffed the engine with sausages". The second is "We created a public access show called 'Shut Up & Drink" and it won awards".

If you love BMX this is a must listen!*
