In this episode we get to catch up with a legend in BMX Eddie Fiola.

Edward Lynn "Eddie" Fiola[1] (born Sep 28, 1964) is an American former professional freestyle BMX rider, and a film stuntman.

In 1982 Bob Morales started up the ASPA (Amateur Skatepark Association which would later become the AFA or American Freestyle Association) and began the legendary king of the skateparks competitions in the USA.[2] Eddie Fiola would go on to win it a total of 5 times along with 4 freestyle Nora (Number One Rider Award) cups including the first one ever to be awarded in 1985 and with having the idea for the potts modification or hollow stem bolt.[3][4] This led to him becoming one of the most famous and highly paid freestyle BMX riders of his time reputedly earning around $100,000 in a year and appearing on the cover of countless magazines.[5][6] Later he became a stuntman in films such as The Dukes of Hazzard, The Italian Job and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Chris Canfield is the owner of Vampire Bike. Chris from Canfield bikes was able to start up Vampire Bike leaning on his genius design and integration of his suspension platform. He also added to this by creating a bike that is a 3 and 1 bike that allows you to transform your bike to match the demand of the current trail you are riding in real time. Sounds interesting?? Tune in to hear how this is done. If you are interested in purchasing these bikes you need to hurry and get on his website to watch for the release news letter. There will only be 100 of them available in 2025.

Tyler is the host of a podcast called Type Two Fun. Type two fun are activities that are not enjoyable in the moment, but become rewarding and fun to think about later on because they push you out of your comfort zone, challenge you, and often involve overcoming difficulties or discomfort, leading to a sense of accomplishment when you reflect on the experience. He has had some extraordinary guests and it was a great chat getting to know Tyler and some of the experiences he has had on his show.
