The Back Bone Zone

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.

Back Bone Zone episode 56: What a fun episode! I take on the challenge of speaking with someone completely out of BMX, by speaking with an expert in their field - Kieran Walsh.

Kieran is the owner of one of Australia's most prestigious Muay Thai gyms, Muay U, and their head coach. Through going to Kieran's gym, I have learnt a lot about the positive aspects of a very similar sport/culture/lifestyle to BMX.

If you are into combat sports, you will like this. If you like learning about new things, you'll like this. If you like BMX and want to contribute to its growth, you'll learn from this.

An absolute belter of an episode with Dr.Dave Camilleri, a researcher out of the University of Melbourne. A lifelong BMXer, Dr.Camilleri has spent the last few years studying the positive effects of BMX and its relationship to higher levels of creativity and mental health outcomes, releasing the "BMX For Life" Project with University of Melbourne: https://education.unimelb.edu.au/bmx-for-life 

His latest research paper is focused specifically on trail building! "Exploring Creativity in BMX Trail Construction - Stack, Slap, Repeat" (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27538699241273740) which is discussed at length here. 

A massive episode and I learnt a lot and I'm sure you will too.

It's been a break in between episodes and it feels good to be back at it.

It's all covered in here and it was great to jump back into another episode of the Backbone Zone.

 I had to have Dave on again. Dave Paterson, We Make Things' (the parent company of Wethepeople, eclat, Radio Bikes and many other brands) BMX product manager.

I needed to take a deep dive into BMX geometry, the 22 inch BMX, part creation and more. Dave is extremely knowledgeable in all things BMX products and to be able to talk with him about specific things and share in new ideas in a public domain like this podcast was awesome.

Episode 50!! A special one with NORA Cup 2022 trail rider of the year Jay Hamilton. I met Jay last year during my trip to the UK for NORA Cup and all I can say is wow... Jay is a force within the UK and worldwide trail community and his energy for everything trails is inspirational.

This conversation goes through a lot of Jay's life, his thoughts on trail building and so much more. This was an amazing conversation and I'm so thankful to have had it.
