Tough As Nails Podcast

Troy sits down with mid school pro-BMXer, fellow S&M team rider, and Coach/Supervisor of Woodward Copper, Adam Baker. In this interview, Troy and Baker talk 360's, the burliness of BMX, and the riders who influenced them. They talk about the mentality of action sports athletes, addiction and having a plan for when contests come to an end and the checks stop coming. Troy questions the alien origins of new school riders, Baker explains how social media has changed the progression of the sport, and if there was any question as to whether Troy is an old school or a mid school BMXer, this interview definitely tips the scales towards old school.
