@@BlackShinobi. relaaaaaxxx
Need more interviews with pro skaters and bikers
Antwuan Dixon part 2
100%
All the OG No Jumper fans loving this 🔥
This is really a fire interview, I been watching chad since he was on Woodward and I been watching Adam since the beginning of the come up 😅😅 it’s very dope seeing both of y’all prospering
yea cool to see the come up come full circle haha
Yeah same remember when he used to upload the bmx vlogs
i had the exact same thoughts bro
Chad's part in Markit Zero is still one of the best parts I've seen. 8 minutes of insanity.
100% ! when the 2nd song starts uff im fired up every time
really would like to see more BMX than anything else on this page fr. Its what got me familiar w/ No Jumper
Alotta other ppl too .. the come up should return
What a nice guy. Been a Kerley fan for year. He's got some of the best front wheel work in the game.
I remember watching him on that g4 channel way back when at a Woodward camp, glad to see he’s killin it!
FuelTV around 2008
Chad is a powerhouse. Dude is so intelligent and relatable. That was some powerful shit. 🙏🏼
Chad hits the nail on the head about BMX media. The model of just reposting stuff from companies that pay you with a little bit of random other stuff here and there just doesn't make sense in 2022 without also creating original stuff to create value. It also creates a skewed image of what BMX actually is to people on the outside or people who aren't clued in when they visit a page and its mostly stuff that is essentially an ad for the companies that can afford it without even being labeled an ad.
Adam 22 and TCU did more for BMX in the hay-day of TCU youtube channel than BMX media has been able to do since. Videos with different pros all over the place constantly. There were instagram slams, games of bike, just random sessions, TCU Tv with so many different people, and so much organic content that it created value while also showcasing BMX at the same time.
I would LOVE to talk to Adam sometime about that alone.
thankful he brought up the family stuff, I found out later in life that I was adopted as a baby too and it is the craziest thing to think about. never knew anyone going through the same thing as me and it was cool to hear a similar story 🍻

Chad is a legend ❤ I’ve always looked up to him as one of the best to come out of bmx
A interview we needed 💪🏽
I sincerely appreciate this interview. I'm sure the BMX interviews don't get as much views but I know I speak for many riders we absolutely love this content.
Adam, you should do a new Hoder and Edwin interview!!! Statue of limitations should be up by now lol
Fr, that first one was hilarious. Edwins back on the bike, just won the Nora cup legend award, goin hard with BTM, hoder still a beast.....def deserve a pt 2....
Great show. I love that your so successful and still love Bmx. Chads the man
Another of Edwin Delarosa interview !!! Almost 10+ years later
Been riding Bmx since 2012 and also been a Fan of CK since 2012 and I must say I feel every word Chad is speaking.
Such a great interview 🙏🏽💯
Agreed chad is so raw hope there’s more bmx content this is deff appreciated
This is wild. I got into Chad's channel because he had a Larry June song playing in one of his profiles. One of Adam's first guests was Larry June. Full circle.
Thank you for this interview Adam Chad is one of the hardest!
yo that's a banger! ecpetially part about all the work that goes behind the scene
we need the steavie churchill interview hes been inactive for a bit
This was so candid need more real interviews like this and less drama on this channel .
This is the homie right here so fuckin proud of you bro ! 💯🙏👏
hell yeah more recognition for these legenary riders
Dude inspired me to start bmx at age 29...and he reps JETLIFE!! cool ass dude !
I got into him because he's on that JetLife!!!
Chad kerley the certified GOAT
Pretty wild having a similar story as chad!! Birth mother was a drug addict, kept my brother who was a year older than myself. Also have a sister In Brooklyn that I have never met and another sister a year younger than me who was adopted by another family but that adoption was an “open adoption” meaning they can change the name and everything. I been trying to find her for literally years and I have had no luck so far. We all have a crazy wild story! Much love chad!
Thanks for still doing BMX interviews!!
Great interview, love that you bringing attention to the bmx community
dope interview. need more skaters and bmx. they always have a cool story
This format started as TCUTV then became no jumper - there are loads of BMX interviews.
I like these interviews better than the rap and drama interviews
Chad you’re one of the coolest Bmx riders around Much love I hope you have a long successful journey with Bmx
Great conversation. I had the conversation the other day about how BMX needs to not be so core for its own sake!
More of this. BMX needs to hear this.
This was fantastic. Glad to hear this perspective.
Dope interview more bmx interviews nawsayinnnnnn…Yeeeee!
Wow back to our roots . SD legend
Yessssirrrrr 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 back to the BMX shit keep it going! Interview Charles Littlejohn!
im glad adam is getting back to doing bmx content
Awesome interview🔥🔥🔥
Need to bring in a T. Bracken's or a G.Hill. Harry Leary is still doing it. My years were Schofield, Bailey, B. Johnson etc....
His split part with Theotis at ranch is still one of my favorite videos
Dude is an absolute legend💯
Pure RopeGang energy 💕
Best comment
Shout out to Adam for always coming trough with great content
New bangers on my channel !!
Solid interview chads the man!
Chad nose at Van's Waffle Cup Had Me HYPED!!!
Yo, first off. I love seeing the BMX interviews. Second. Chad. You're the fucking man. Mad respect for you. It's really cool to see how level headed you are. Dude has alot of heart. This interview made you one of my favorite riders. Yo. You gotta lead this BMX shit I think you're a good ambassador to the sport.
Love the BMX content but the interview we really need is a part 2 with the 🐐 Edwin and Hoder. That first interview back in the day was hilarious, Edwin just won the Nora cup legend award, had been goin crazy in the Graff scene, hoder still a beast. I think a pt 2 is well deserved.....tap back into ur roots, alot of the come up fans still here🦾🦾
Stevie Churchill is the 1 everyone wants to see
@@jakjohn672 Steve has been in more oss videos than anyone and now he is convalescing!
Give Stevie a platform to speak on why he left his throne
Also seeing chad in here ; props bro goes so hard
Dude, shut up.
I remember watching him fresh from being a racer and Jamie bestwick teaching him flairs at Woodward waaaaaaaay back when he was a little kid
this was fire🔥🔥
13 year old me would be so happy right now lmao idolized this guy for a few years
This was awesome
Never thought I’d hear a bmxer talk like this fr valid prospective 🤞🏿
I remember the camp woodward days watching this dude on TV. Him and Sean Ricany
A staple in BMX fr🔥
Let’s go!!!!!! Love this
My boy Chad ! He was the only Nigga at Serra Mesa rec on his bike not hooping since kids, salute ! 🫡
Pioneer/ legend for sure
Big facts 💯👏.. literally had to be there
Glad to see this fr him and sean ricany were tight on premium a while back
I always see him and his crew in downtown San Diego!
40:20 i’m 43 and I still ride BMX I’ve still got the Bmx bug in me and want to do stuff on my BMX 👍🚲💨
best interview in a minute
I just had to comment that this cat has got the dopest nose wheelies on bars and he's just a great bmx rider for real. His balance is a superpower.
favourite rider since for more than a decade
This good content 🙌🔥
this was a good interview..."in a sense"
Fire!! CK a young legend 💪🏾🔥💯
Chad is a GOAT!!! Great human! Big fan
Been here since the come up days
Bmx racing is the foundation for a lot of successful bikers
Best bmx podcast.
Finally you doing more BMX content. Bring on Mike Aitken to the No Jumper podcast! There's also something to be said about the riders that have a racing background like Aitken and Kerley. The bike control from racing translates in ways that nothing else can.
Fucking dope to see CK on here. Asked months ago who to interview next and CK is on here he'll ya. Demarcus Paul next
I'm waiting for you to be online
Forever one of our greats 💪

Great interview
Random question Watching older (the goblin one) episode before this.
When did Tony the cat pass? Got away from all this for a while, but was a fan since early come up days. Just not a hip hop dude
But rip Tony regardless. Fat bastard was a legend
The nose manual manu ginobli. Kerley’s top tier
Chad dope af bro.
A really great way for BMX to grow and do better in the ways that were talked about just before the one hour mark is for people who are widely respected/accepted by bmx as a whole to just talk about it the way they did here. The more people who talk about it the better. BMX fucked up by not realizing that youtube could've been an avenue for SO many people to make money from a massive corporation called Google which could've means less reliance for riders on money coming from the industry. So many people had an attitude like Nah man I'll just go work a full time job I hate then talk shit on the internet about a dude who became extremely successful by just being himself.
I use to watch chad and Sean on fuel tv. The camper Woodward show lol
A real one! 🤍
My kind of episodes
Tcu TV vibes
