What's Happening with John Saxton?

Danny Satalia owns and operates a business around the central Pa. area. Every chance to chat with Danny is always a good time and this conversation was long overdue.

This episode is the long awaited kickoff intro for the second season of What's happening.

Eric Martin is an O.G. in the Tn. skate scene and always has a story to tell so we decided to put a mic in front of him and see where it went. 

Morgan has been a proffesional BMX athlete competing in X-games and worlds competitions around the globe for a couple decades. 

The first episode of the new season. With a long hiatus in between episodes we are excited to start back up with some chats, stories and maybe some comedy. 

Dave and Manny are two Skateboard legends that were separated at birth and brought back together through the magic of skateboarding. 

Da Herm is a comedian and owner of Out East comedy club in Nashville, Tn. 

Bo just celebrated his 101st birthday and has stories from a different time. One of the stories being from his time as a POW during WW2. 

The second ramble episode and the first episode of the new year. Welcome to the year that everything turns out great. 

This episode will be the first installment of many. Story time with Mean Gene Rosmarin. Be prepared. 

Noah and is a complete badass drummer as well as spending time as an audio tech out in Vegas working with some pretty big names. From traveling with his band at the time to setting up shows in Mexico with less than desirable work settings you could say he is "Living La Vida Loca"..................Sorry.  

Jamie is a professional Bmx rider and has won more XGames gold medals than anyone that I can think to fact check. 

Daniel and Ryan both have had blue goatees and we acknowledge that fact a lot. They are also pretty good at riding those funny looking bicycles which we touch on a little bit as well. 

Kelly is an athletic trainer with certification in cranial sacral therapy. She has been working with athletes with head injuries in action sports as well as collegiate sports for a long time. In this podcast she tells us some stories as well as how to be more aware of what to look for. 

Downhill Mtb. professional Nicholi is an absolute animal and one of the top athletes in the field of slope style mountain bikes. 

Imagine for your childhood you got to grow up at disneyland and watch it turn into what it is now. Well that is what Nina got to experience. Instead of disneyland it was the premiere action sports/ Gymnastics camp in the world.   

This episode is loaded with stories, history lessons and absolute nonsense. Enjoy. 

Zach is a bicycle historian and a pizza advocate. He would be a pizza historian, but there are never any left overs. 

Jamie obviously needs no introduction, unless of course you aren't familiar with his body of work. In that case I suppose that you would need a quick intro. He's pretty good at riding bikes and he is English. Raymond however is pretty outstanding at riding scooters and from what I understand hails from Cailifornia. We also had a guest appearance by Sam Bestwick as well.  

Robin was wife to the late Kevin Robinson and has experienced just about as much as anyone could in the action sports world. Robin has a unique perspective and stories to tell on all her and Kevin's adventures. 

Scott and Tony are a couple staples in the O.G. bmx community in the New England scene. They have been around and have stories to tell. 

We made it to 1/2 a year with these podcasts and I decided to test my limits of rambling solo for an episode. There is some silly, some serious although not very much and some very random ramblings from myself. Even the serious is peppered with joking so I hope you enjoy. 

Matteo and I were roommates each summer for a couple years and we got to know each other pretty well. He went on to start a successful engineering company. He even has multi color pens and coffee mugs with his name on it. If that doesn't say "you made it" I am not sure what does. 

Raymond is a professional scooter rider/ youtuber. Not long ago neither of those things were real, but Raymond is making it pretty obvious that if you set your mind to something, anything is possible. 

Although Trish is much more than J. A.T. (just a trainer) that does end up being how she is widely known by her fans and athletes which are one and the same. Trish travels the world helping athletes at many different  types of sporting events.  

Bill is the director at the Cormier youth center in Andover, Massachusetts. For decades he has helped the young adults of the greater Boston area become who they are meant to be. 

Steve was a big part of Woodward camp for a long time. This is the first of potentially many story times with Steve coming soon. We got to sit down and hear how things started for him at camp as well as some fun camp stories. 

Hannah is an 18 year old bmx world champion.  At the time of posting this if it were not for the Covid pandemic she would be competing at the olympics this weekend. Find out what it takes to be at the top of the game. 

Leigh was a pro BMX rider that over the years has worn many hats and he has done a bunch of stuff too. He is currently the Mongoose bikes team manager. Leigh has been around for a while and seen a lot during his journey with his bike. Spoiler, there is also an appearance by an unexpected guest. 

Daniel is from Caracas, Venezuela and has been chasing the dream of the Olympic gold medal his whole life. Daniel is one of the best to do it and is always up for a last minute guest to stop by and record great conversations. 

Keith was a staple in the early stages of the BMX community in the northeast. After a long journey to see where his bike would bring him he eventually went on to compete at the highest level in his sport at the X games and invented a trick 10 years ago that very few still do today. 

Josh Perry was an professional Xgames BMX athlete that over the years aimed his focus on nutrition and health. We had a nice chat and this is what came of it. Enjoy. 

Jorge started out in front of the camera being a professional Bmx rider at the X games to the man behind the camera. 

Bmx Professional Nate Wessel is the man behind some of the most impressive skatepark and ramp builds that have ever graced earth. Not only that, Nate is a pretty sweet dude as well. 

Steve Nowak is a Greenville, Nc. O.G. He is a great story teller on top of having a whole bunch of stories. We sat him down in a crowded restaurant just to hear some old Greenville and BMX pro stories. 

Lars Tribus is a 2 time world champion down hill mountain biker with enough stories to write a book. Luckily I got some out of him before that happened so we can all enjoy a little story time with Lars. 

Andy Macdonald is a skateboarding legend and sat down with us at the studio at Woodward camp to talk about getting started in Boston and visiting camp since its infancy. 

Anthony Napolitan is an X Games medalist and World Champion Bmx rider. If that wasn't enough to get you excited he has access to a lifetime supply of hot dogs. Is there a Willy Wonka of hot dogs with some sort of enchanted processed meat factory? Maybe not, but Anthony is pretty cool either way. 

Mike Falcone was a director at Woodward camp for a majority of the early 2000's. Not only does he have the voice of a well spoken angel, he has a lot of stories and a palm pilot to prove it. 

Kyle Carlson is the man behind one of the main bmx web sites on a new technology called the internet. Vital Bmx is a major source of information and bicycle motocross content and Kyle is the man behind the scenes. 

Trevor Howard is a member of the USA gymnastics team and is giving his all to make it to the Olympics. We sat down with him to talk about what it takes to make it to the pinnacle of his sport. 

Beau Lambert is the GM at Rye airfield and such  a wealth of knowledge about the action sports industry. Sit down and see what he has to say. You can stand up if you want. I'm not your mom. 

Skateboarding legend John "The Man" Reeves sits down with us in the studios at Woodward Camp to talk about life and how much fun it is to still be a kid after all these years. 

Don Hampton the Emmy winning director tells how it is. From parenting to traveling the world, riding bikes and filming. It gets real, but we had fun talking about it.  We also had a guest appearance via phone call from the one and only Flava Flav. 

We got to sit down with half of the professional Bmx Vert riders in the world at once. It wasn't even crowded in the room either. They did have a lot to talk about though. 

Paul Hamm stops by and talks about being an Olympic gymnastics gold medalist. He talks about other stuff too.  

We sat down with 2019 Ice cross jr. World Champion Johanny Velasquez just after his 19th birthday to see what the next step is for him. 

This episode is kind of what started this whole thing here when someone interviewed me. I figured to start this series I would post this as the first one so you can get to know me as the host before getting into the rest of the interviews I will be posting. Maybe it will be fun, but who can tell. 

Finally, a podcast with some dummy rambling about nothing and interviews with people more interesting.
