Brian Kachinsky recently got himself a sick new sponsor, Primo.  Check out this heavy videopart they just put out.  

 Our 2 wheeled maniac from Chicago just launched his new website

www.Briankachinsky.com. It's a great site, showcasing his talents and style.

He had this to say:

"The main goal of this site is to appeal to BMX riders, but I also

wanted something to go beyond that.  As I work with the City of Chicago

and other people outside the industry on projects, I wanted something

that would introduce who I am instead of sending them countless links

to different things spread across the web. This is a "one stop shop"

basically to find out more info on me and the people who support me."

What kind of rider releases a video part this good, online, with this many gap to rails, in his 30th year living? BK. The same guy who embarrassed an entire nation of hockey playing Canadians (who sent Jason Enns as their proxy) on Road Fools almost a decade ago spent 2012 effectively saying to our nation’s BMX youth “yeah, you can nollie smith a flat ledge but I can nollie to switch pegs a 12 stair first try”. Except he’d never actually say that because he’s the nicest guy on the planet and he’s probably laid up with your neurologist right now.

Transworld's The Friday Interview: Brian Kachinsky

How does one become a pro BMXer? 

It’s funny you mention that because it’s really unusual to be from Wisconsin and be in the position I am in … There was a pro from my area that I sort of grew up with, his name is Dave Freimuth. He was ten years older than me but he’s still one of my best friends. I looked up to him growing up because he was local but also known all over the world. I obviously loved how he rode, I loved his skills on a bike but I loved his lifestyle and everything about it … I grew up playing ice hockey, that was my main sport. BMX was always my hobby but a hobby that I loved and was passionate about. After high school was over I didn’t really play hockey as much and I went to college at UW-Madison and started competing all over the country. I won a major event that sort of forced me to go pro when I was in my sophomore year.

When some of the biggest BMX riders come through Chicago they often stop at your private facility, The Bakery, to ride with you. What made you want to create your own unique place to ride?

Someone actually asked me that earlier today. They were like, “So wait, you use this facility to basically promote your competition?” And I was like well yea, because technically they’re my competition but — especially my sector of BMX, which is street riding — we’re all friends. We’ve been on trips with each other and we’ve traveled the world together … So I was like why don’t I take advantage of that and have some of these guys come visit me and ride my spot that is basically my paradise that I built. The selfish component of that is that I have a place to ride 24 hours a day, anytime I want, rain or shine. A lot of hard work went into building it and making it happen.

A new competition format debuted at this year's event which consisted of a combination live jam and filming contest.  Each team featured three riders plus a videographer.  Throughout the week the riders filmed on the course and collected some amazing footage.  Two live jam sessions also took place, which impacted overall scores, but the final produced video held the most weight.

When it was said and done, the judging panel deemed Team Kachinsky the winners because they had the best overall crew vibe, their riding was the most creative, and the production quality of their video was unsurpassed.  Nice work, fellas!  To get the full story, click here.

Each of the Team Videos will premiere later this week on RideBMX.com, so stay tuned...

Peep BK's promo video here and be sure to check out his new indoor BMX spot, The Bakery.

Huge congrats to BK and the other American podium finishers! To find out more click here. And to stay up on all BK happenings, be sure to connect with him on Twitter and Facebook.

BK's most recent visitor was Arnette teammate Corey Martinez who not only rips, but is hands down one of the raddest dudes in BMX. Check out Corey's "Baker's Dozen" edit featuring 13 bangers served up fresh for your viewing pleasure.

Tired of getting kicked out of spots and suffering through brutal Chi-town winters, BK decided to take matters into his own hands.  With help from his extended crew of friends and Nate Wessel from 4 Seasons Skatepark, BK and company designed and built a rad spot specifically geared toward authentic BMX street riding.

As BK puts it, “I love riding and have always dreamed of having a place to ride where all of my favorite things are in one place, and now that dream has come true. It’s a place to ride that’s out of the unfavorable weather and at my disposal 24/7. With the help of Wessel, Povah and many of my friends I was able to make it a reality and I’m really happy with the outcome. Now when my friends come to town, we’ll have a place to ride that’s not restricted to whatever might try to stop us from riding.”

Although The Bakery is not open to the general public, BMX riders from around the world can stay up to date on all park happenings by visiting the official website, Twitter page and Facebook.

Expect a lot of great content to be cooked up at The Bakery in the coming months as some heavy hitters will be making the rounds including Aaron Ross, Van Homan, Arnette teammate Corey Martinez, and many more.

BMX has allowed me to live inside the history books that once just 
weighed  down my backpack as I rode my bike school.  A few years ago 
on an Etnies trip we hopped a fence and rode a bank-to-rail in front 
of Hitler's former airport in Berlin. That was crazy. I've also got to 
pedal down the same streets that Manuel Noriega once marched his army 
down in Panama. I've manualed through Red Square in Moscow,  done a 
barspin in front of the former KGB headquarters and past countless 
memoirs of Stalin.

This video is a brief glimpse into an experience that goes beyond 
words. Riding in Saddam Hussein's palace was insane. These brief 
minutes of riding through his former empire made things more vivid to 
me than any history book or Discovery Channel program ever could. I'm 
thankful for the experience and hope you enjoy.

The other day I found myself passing through Chicago again, and every time I do, I make an effort meet up with DK's Brian Kachinsky. The funny thing is, he's always traveling when I come to town, and we never get to meet up. I run into him more in other parts of the country throughout the year than in Chicago. I guess that's just the life of a pro BMXer, but Kachinsky's is more like that of a celebrity. He's always on the go, traveling on some of the most unique and coolest trips that go down in BMX. And as luck would have it, we finally did get to meet up on my last pass through Chicago.

Of course, Brian just got back into town and was already packing his bags to fly out to Calfornia the next day. He was off to stay at Rooftop's house and get out of the snow. We didn't have much time to shoot photos, but he had a minute to grab some coffee and catch up. He told me about some of the wild trips he's gone on lately, in addition to the whole etnies team change. This is our conversation.

ESPN.com: Shortly after coming back from your Iraq trip for "Bike Over Baghdad," you flew down to New Orleans just to ride an abandoned Six Flags Theme park. What was that like? Who all went and did you find much to ride?
Kachinsky: Aaron Ross, Jeff K., Walter Pieringer and myself went on a spur of the moment adventure that couldn't have gone much better. It was fun, scary and interesting all wrapped up in two action-packed days. The result will be in an upcoming issue of Ride UK. It's going to be awesome. Keep your eyes out for it.

You've been busted before riding and fined pretty heavy for riding a spot in the past. Were you scared that you might get arrested or fined riding the Six Flags park in New Orleans?
Nah, I'm over it. I'm just going to keep riding my bike, having fun and hoping that I don't make anyone mad while doing it.

You just left for California to kick it with Rooftop and Kat Von D. How's it going? What are you guys up to? Are you planning on getting a tattoo while you're out there?
I'm just out in California avoiding the worst part of the Midwest winter. Rooftop was nice enough to let me crash at his place. No Kat sightings so far but I've met her before, she's rad and very down to earth. Tattoos? Nah, tattoos are not my cup of tea but well-done tattoos do look pretty rad.

There were just that big shake up with the entire etnies team for 2011. What are your thoughts about it all and are you excited about the direction things are going?
I think the etnies team for 2011 is awesome! That being said, I thought the 2010 team was amazing too. Things change and what goes on behind the scenes is really none of my business so I stay out of all that. I am stoked for trips this year with the crew and being able to wear some of the best shoes out. Thanks etnies!

What's your number one goal for 2011?
My goal is to get rad at least once a day. So far so good!

Now how much are you looking forward to the Simpel Session event?
- I have been looking forward to this event since I left Tallinn last year. This contest is always an exciting one because the riding is always insane and it's in an amazing city/country. Simpel Session never disappoints.

How many times have you been before?
- I think this will be my 4th time to Simpel Session. Each year keeps getting better.

Does your bike have some new sponsor stickers for 2011 that you want to show off in Tallinn?
- At the moment I have the same sponsors I had last year. DK, Etnies, Action Village and Arnette are all helping me have a great time in 2011. I'm pumped.

What was your first impression when you saw the 3D drawings of the Simpel Session course for 2011?
- My first impression was overwhelmed. The course looks insane this year and looks like a lot of people are going to be going really fast. Shit's gonna get crazy.

When are you getting there?
- I think I'm getting there the night of February 2nd. I'm flying all the way from Los Angeles this time. I've been staying out here with Rooftop this past month to escape the cold Chicago winters. It will be a long full day of flying to get there but who cares... it's Estonia!

Are you spending some extra time in Tallinn? and if so, what have you planned on doing besides riding the contest?
- Yeah, I'm planning go to Finland or Latvia for a few days after the contest which should be a lot of fun. There are indoor parks in each place and I have friends in both. I figure, if I fly halfway across the world I might as well take some time to sightsee and chill right?

Who are you looking forward to see at the event?
- Everyone. I'm stoked to see guys like Sergio and Ruben who are teammates of mine but I don't get to see them as often as the other guys. I'm also excited to see anyone else who lives outside the US because chances are I haven't seen them for a while. It's always nice to catch up, ride bikes and maybe have a beer afterwards.

Who do you think will make a podium spot for sure?
- There are never any guarantees at something like that but I'd say Drew B. and Garrett both have a great chance. They both ALWAYS kill it.

Will you be nervous when you drop in for your run in front of a few thousand screaming girls?
- Haha, nah. It's not the first time. haha.

Are you ready for the after-parties?
- Oh man. Nothing can prepare you for that. Should I practice?

If the right obstacle is there, what trick are you going to try for the first time in a contest?
- I'll have to see the course in person before I can tell if there is something new I can do on it. There are a few things I'd like to try though and if everything feels right, it would be the perfect time to try something new.
