Wear clothing from the brand that is Always Building BMX: https://backbonebmx.com Josh Dove is a mate and someone I've known for 10+ years. He obviously kills it on a BMX bike, I've described him as a generational talent in BMX before. Now he's riding for Huffy. As someone who has spent 30 years riding BMX and well over 20 years working in the BMX industry, I share my thoughts it... and what it means for the world of BMX.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic.

Backbone Zone podcast is back after a hiatus and it's being changed up. A lot more focus on why I started the podcast in the first place, to explore ideas and talk abut ideas that perhaps don't get spoken about in BMX as often.  All done off the cuff while I'm at the trails. This one is all about the authenticity buzzword, and reminding people to remember who they are.  I'd love to get a comment from you to let me know what you think of this format. And also any thoughts you have on the topic.  If you want to represent Backbone BMX, then pick up the clothing here: https://backbonebmx.com
