Let's start 2019 with a new OG BMX Street video from our bro Jonas Bader which he filmed together with his homie Raphael Jeroma-Williams over the last couple months in Berlin.
Whilst touring the massive Country that is Australia, I popped into Perth for a month where I followed Ross around to a variety of Bowls and Dams to capture some fast, smooth and stylish riding! It's not until you ride Bowls and big dams that you realise just how much skill goes into riding them.
