At the end of 2015, Swiss protection brand TSG opened an office in the US. In 2016 they also add a new US team rider to their roster. From now on, BMX pro Josh Perry will use TSG helmets and protection. Josh is well-versed in the field of safety and protection. When he was 21, Josh was diagnosed with a brain tumor that had spread over large parts of the left side of his brain. That day abruptly ended his “normal” life as a BMX pro. The tumor was removed during a seven-hour operation, returned twice, and was the decisive factor in Josh questioning and realigning his life. His main focus remains on food. When Josh changed his eating habits he realized how much energy and self-healing is possible with the right diet.
