[@NJdeplorable]

Start sprinkling in riders here and there Adam the ogs will really appreciate this!

[@stg_tmc]

Agreed this is a good idea for sure

[@shaggy1531]

He will as long as the video does Good numbers

[@shaggy1531]

But he's at 10k views after being posted for a day

[@chrisdunlap2520]

DAM haven’t heard catfishes name in awhile

[@NycZooYork]

Even other high profile extreme sports athletes if necessary

[@saucy5116]

A true legend of the bmx scene, Brad is savage on a bike

[@Slim4eva]

I love these specific niche interviews, it broadens people's perception of this thing called life. Thanks yall.

[@ohhellno4934]

yeah when Adam stop the porn talk he can have a good pod

[@Slim4eva]

@@ohhellno4934 ha🤣🤣🤣

[@jacobwilliam3986]

Damn why is this niche to you nephew you need to broaden you’re perception

[@DesperadoDufel]

Appreciate the BMX content. Brads a beast, his shook section was sick. Legend

[@rickydangler]

As a rider still now in my 30's with a son and a family I really appreciate that adam took it back to one of his passions. We get older but shud never let our passions fade away. Passion is what makes life worth living.

[@ohhellno4934]

finally a classic no jumper interview that doesn't have random girls talking about only fans

[@iBIaaaze]

You can see adam is so comfortable w/ bmx interviews, no phone involved. Love to see it!

[@darellspriggs]

I love it. Just an honest conversation with two friends of 20 years.

[@patrickreilly81]

Please interview some more old bmx riders!! This was awesome

[@chrisbeckett7395]

Dakota roach still filmin he gotta be close to adams age

[@TokenAlias]

I met Brad when he rode for Merritt, us meeting was actually super random. He was out cruising, I was out cruising and we just crossed paths. I didn’t bother him for long, I was like 16-17 at the time, but it always stuck with me. He was such a genuine person in just the 5mins we talked/met, encouraged me to never give up on riding and my dreams. Probably one of the best guys to ever ride but an even better human. Got a lot of love for Brad and I’m very happy to see him where he is now

[@lurk9810]

Hyped af on this podcast. Need more riders on here soooon

[@AshawTv]

Need chad kerley interview

[@chryslertechnician3439]

Such a humble dude I met him about 13 years ago, absolute BEAST

[@allennickles3970]

Brad Simms is a beast! Hes already legendary in BMX.. And definitely will be leaving a legacy.. when he ever does leaves! These guys deserve so much more money than they get. So many injuries. And putting there life at risk just for a banger clip! And most of these injuries are life long! They sacrifice their bodies & life for these clips. General public that dont know BMX. Has no ideal how much pain it takes to get a banger clip. Alot of times it's worse than being amateur fighter ..fighting a MMA cage fight you get so beat up trying to push the envelope and get that perfect clip on a trick that nobody else has done! Congrats to Brad! Hes finally getting what he deserves..after years of hard riding 😊

[@yfitzmorris]

Brad is one of the most savage riders ever. A true GOAT. Strength of willpower. Much love to Brad and wish him perpetual success

[@gusrallim]

back to the bmx roots

[@lHATETHEINTERNET]

Very hyped on this been watching all the old tcu bmx interviews recently you should definitely try and get some more of these

[@Gelato3]

I feel like Brads the sort of person that when you stumble across him, that’s it you gonna follow him from there!

[@seg0007]

Adam please start doing bmx content again!!! And Brad love your riding bro u the goat

[@TheTruthHurts.247]

Brads easy my fav rider at the moment. The man’s on a different level.. his core strength is ridiculous. Watching him launch off walls never gets old.

[@stephenmac23]

Yes some BMX content, Ik it won’t be a regular thing but you should get some of the OSS guys on here again like Alfredo or Brandon

[@iPaintCars]

Brad deserves everything he's brought into his life right now and much more to come. Anyone that knows his story and thinks differently is a hater. This guy is a true legend and I'm super happy for him and glad I had the chance to watch him through out his career. It was like having the chance to watch Jordan or Tyson. Same level no doubt.

[@simple-session]

This is awesome! Shout out to Brad and Adam!!

[@LeBeautiful]

That boy niceee

[@darellspriggs]

So great, this is the reason brad is my favorite. Hearing a conversation between Adam and brad is iconic. Brad is a legend and I was shaking my head yes so much during this interview. My favorite interview a a couple years Adam. Thank you for this NJ.

[@titus.o4773]

Just checked out Brad Simms 2021 bmx reel after this interview. Fire tricks and skills. 🙌🏿🔥🚲

[@DesperadoDufel]

Adam u should try to get Edwin delarosa on the pod. We need that....

[@tsunami700]

That's my cousin, I'm Dontay Simms, cousin BEEN killing it

[@dakstew2517]

Good re-listen while I rolled 3 js this cold winter morning

[@Oxalwayswins]

Yesssir back to the roots I love it!!!

[@KD3LL]

Good to see the BMX content come back

[@NycZooYork]

I've got the Stephen Murray video segment with his decked out truck. It was bought with his X-Games + Gravity Games money, seemed inspiring.

[@synthwaave]

I like when no jumper branches outside of the la hip-hop world and focuses on something else like hardcore or bmx/skating. Cheers to keeping shit fresh, Adam22.

[@solsmith2906]

No jumper is originally bmx

[@synthwaave]

@@solsmith2906 I'm aware, but it's certainly not anymore and hasnt been for quite some time.

[@blizzington4528]

That’s what No Jumper started as is a bmx channel

[@stephenfrancis303]

Still killing it was brian foster the blue condor

[@imusic1006]

Yo you should get Kevin Bradley or nakel on tha pod

[@witemic]

Loved this. Thank you Adam for getting Simms on. Tired of old heads saying money in BMX is selling out. "Keep BMX pure". Foh. Purity don't pay bills. Love to Brad and you Adam

[@MrFreerideForever]

"BMX pure" = BMX poor.

[@kylekelley4574]

Thanks for this Adam

[@stephenfrancis303]

[@Bhudanjabs]

Whay he look like Fresh from F&F in the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣

[@twisi6318]

ayyyy B simms haha this the come up type shit

[@Bonky-wonky]

Mountainbiking can be done at a respectable level for way longer. I have multiple riding buddies that are over 50 but still do well and still progress. I even used to ride with a 70 year old guy that still rode some pretty serious trails. Can’t see a 40+ rider do much more than cruise around a skatepark or set of trails, unless his initials are BF…

[@stephenfrancis303]

Brian foster is still killing it

[@Rolbysworld]

fuck yeah more bmx interviews please!

[@fernikidd]
