The Goat Cave - EP 076: Mike Mastroni

Today's guest is one of the most widely known film makers in BMX, not only that, but an incredible rider. He is responsible for some of the biggest full lengths that have released over the years, including OnSomeShit’s “FOOTBALL”, Volume’s “The Finer Things”, and most recently, Ride BMX’s “Headlights”. He has even competed as a filmer on Xgames real street alongside DeMarcus Paul. Now let's talk riding, his riding has always been so creative, and has landed him some awesome sponsors over the years, Proper, Volume, and currently repping Sunday! He is always coming up with ideas for tricks that no one could think of, then taking it a step further and thinking of how it will look best on camera. BMX has taken him so far, all with the help of the sprinter van he built into a tiny home on wheels. Im super excited to nerd out on camera’s, filming, van life, and so much more with Mike Mastroni!

The Goat Cave - EP 078: Calvin Kosovich

Today's guest is an incredible Filmer, and an even better rider. His eye for style doesn’t stop at his clothing, he goes beyond that and brings it to his riding, with his amazing use of spots, and being able to send some of the steepest tooth hangers in the game. Not only is he able to send some of the heaviest moves in BMX in recent years, but he has been behind the lens for some amazing video projects, such as the Vans Shimmer video. After joining the Kink Pro team a few years back, we have all been able to see his true talent, I'm stoked to be sitting down with Calvin Kosovich!
