At one time, Alex Liiv was one of the most prominent street riders in Australia, traveling the world riding for Metal Bikes and then Bonedeth BMX, filming a plethora of insane street clips and video parts. Since that time, Alex has gone through a period of metamorphosis; changing his focus in BMX to one you may not expect. 

An epic conversation, Alex is a real thinker and it was great to talk to him quite deeply about a lot of subjects (although we only scratched the surface!).

Troy Charlesworth has been responsible for a lot of what you've seen in Australian BMX for the past two decades, producing some of the most epic BMX videos, from the Droppin' Clips in 2007, to Tear Da Club Up in 2022. 

He's also filmed a lot of epic video parts for Australian BMX pro riders Boyd Hilder and Alex Hiam, to name a few. We discuss his journey in BMX and being behind the lens for these iconic moments.

Trey Jones is the real deal. A pro BMX rider, Swampfest event creator and organiser, BMX collector and everything else in between, Trey is not scared to get his hands dirty in the name of building BMX in what he feels is the right way. 

This is exactly the chat I hoped we'd have. I hadn't spent much time talking to Trey before this, but I knew we'd get along and even though I respected him before, my respect reached new levels after this one. Trey is switched on and you can tell, he loves and cares for BMX.

Ryan Fudger has cemented himself as one of the most important figures in BMX media, worldwide. Having spent almost two decades working for Ride BMX Magazine (including a role as associate editor), Ryan created Our BMX, an independent media outlet, which includes the successful Unclicked Podcast with Dennis Enarson.

It was great to have Ryan on the Back Bone Zone, as he is a podcast host, you don't often to get to hear his thoughts in a deep way on various subjects, so it was great to discuss many of them here.

Clint Reynolds is one of the most influential BMX riders of our generation within the trail/bowl riding space and I was stoked to catch up with him, to talk about all things BMX, his move back to Austin, TX and a whole lot of cool BMX stories. Clint is a legend, I loved this conversation with him.

Every episode of The Back Bone Zone is awesome, but this one left me in awe. 
Seeing Ross D. Lavender's commitment to making sure Australian BMX history is documented was nothing short of amazing. 

Ross showed me the Unscene BMX archive, which led us into discussing Australian BMX history and everything about it, and what Ross is doing to make sure it is looked after. 

Please visit Ross' website below, or the BMX exhibition he has in Logan, QLD - "Progression Playground".

Buying your first home is a big commitment that is attached with a big $ figure, but imagine bypassing the home and heading straight to the backyard to see if the soil is worth building trails on. 

That's what Josh Cernotta did, and it has led to one of the most amazing trail spots, as well as the most notorious jams in Australian BMX history. 

Find out more about Josh's BMX history, as well as the iconic HVT spot, within this episode of the Back Bone Zone.

Logan Martin is arguably the most successful competitive freestyle BMX rider of this generation, if not of all time.

Olympic gold medalist, multiple time world champion, too many X-Games medals to count, Logan has done it all and yet shows no hint of slowing down.

Behind the gold medals and glory is a family man who is incredibly self-motivated to achieve the 'next level' in BMX... Even if he has to create that level himself.
