Summary

BMXing prodigy Kieran Reilly is one of the most explosive comp riders on the BMX park scene today and has been blowing up screens since he was a kid. Search online and it won't take you long to find a video of Kieran Reilly, aged 11, landing a 720 over a spine at Unit 23 in Glasgow, Scotland. Although still dwarfed by his bike, it was clear from a young age that he was a special talent – and one with a penchant for spins, flips and whips.
Signed to Bas Keep's Tall Order team, he made his FISE debut in 2018 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, including a starring role in Drew Bezanson's Red Bull Uncontained 2019-winning team. He signed up for CrossFit awhile back to help him grow stronger and fitter to ultimately accomplish the Triple Flair. Something that had never been seen in the BMX world. Outside of competition runs, Kieran is a prolific YouTuber. His channel is well worth subscribing to and is jam-packed with amazing practice sessions and videos of Kieran pushing himself and the sport to the next level.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Wadcast podcast. I'm your host. That's me, Eddie
0:07.8	I've been doing this show for 10 years now, and it is the oldest, longest running podcast
0:15.8	in the history of the sport of CrossFit. We don't just cover CrossFit, though. We cover
0:21.5	everything from health, nutrition, training, strength, conditioning. Sometimes we talk sports
0:29.7	sometimes we talk sports where athletes use CrossFit as their training methodology and that's
0:36.4	what we're doing today. We're talking to one of the top BMX athletes in the world, Kieran
0:43.5	Riley. Kieran rose to fame recently with a maneuver or trick or whatever you call it called
0:53.5	the triple flare. He's not just a one trick pony. This guy is honestly, if you follow BMX,
1:00.5	one of the greatest in the world, this trick is, I don't know if it will ever be redone by anyone
1:07.1	else. It was all over the internet. You can check it out yourself. Very interesting guy,
1:12.2	and very obsessed with CrossFit, which is really funny to see someone from the world of BMX
1:19.6	get so into CrossFit. He doesn't just use it to help his training. He loves it. It's funny. You
1:27.1	can tell he's got the bug. I had a great time talking to him. I hope that you, most of our
1:34.0	listeners, being from America, I hope we've got a lot of Australian listeners. They won't ever
1:38.5	trouble with it. He is a Jordy. Jordy's someone from Newcastle, England, and they have a distinct accent.
1:44.6	I've spent a lot of time there, so I'm able to distinguish the difference and understand it.
1:50.6	I hope you do. It's a fun episode. He's a really nice guy, nice kid with an amazing career so far
1:59.5	and so far ahead of him. I want to thank you for your patronage. Everybody that's helped out
2:09.2	with the show. I want to thank you for donating to the show because we do have bills here. We have
2:16.7	ads, but we have bills, and it costs money. Sometimes you'll notice we don't have ads. That means
2:21.7	we're making no money, and we have expenses. There's uploading. There's downloading. There's
2:29.9	making the YouTube clips, making the clips for Instagram. There is the engineering work that
