Quarantine Parks. Private places to ride during Covid-19 times. Part 16: Drew Bezanson's yard (CAN)
Operator-Park: Drew Bezanson
Location: Ontario, Canada
What made you decide to build your own ramp?
Drew Bezanson: I always love having my own ramps to ride. As a kid I had a mini ramp in the attic of my parents garage, its still there till this day. In 2017 I moved into a place that had the space for a backyard ramp and I jumped on the opportunity. I was a little burnt out on riding public parks at the time, having to worry about where people were at when trying to do lines, film, shoot photos, etc. I needed a spot where I could fill my craving for BMX. That is why you haven't really seen any footage come out from the yard. I love when the sessions get wild and everyone is in on it, not asking someone to stop and film something, just enjoy the session.

Name: Pat Casey
Park: Pat's backyard
Location: Riverside, California, USA.
What made you decide to build your own park in the backyard?
Pat Casey: When I turned 18, I decided I wanted to move out. I looked for a place with land, knowing one day I would want a park or jumps in my yard. Growing up, my dad built me a backyard ramp and I knew I couldn't live without one,
In these days of home quarantine, how does it feel to have a place to ride right out of the door?

How long have you been riding a Carbon Supercross BMX bike now?
Camille: I’m on a Supercross since November 2017.
Any special reason for the all black bike set-up?
Camille: I really like a stealthy bike, this one is a nice compromise with the red accents. I feel like I don’t get tired of a black bike.
Drew Bezanson puts a beating on All In Skatepark in Ontario, Canada in this new video from DK! Big tricks, crazy transfers, and much more. Stoked to see Drew healthy and killing it!
Mason Ritter, Leandro Moreira, and Tristen Cooper were in SoCal a bit ago and got the invite to ride the Full Factory ramps. The crew seized the opportunity and had an awesome session.
There's something in the water in Australia that makes you a savage that fears no handrail or anything in life for that matter...Callan Stibbards has been rocking with us for a minute all the way from western OZ, nothing but good times and heavy heavy riding from this mad c--t...
Quarantine Parks. Private places to ride during Covid-19 times. Part 15: The Colony Resort with Clint Millar (AUS)
Name of park: The Colony Resort
Operator(s): Colony BMX
Location: Brisbane, Australia
When did you start planning the miniramp build?
Clint Millar: I’ve first had a backyard ramp back in 1998 and then in late 2012 I decided I needed to have one again. I had the spine mini ramp in my old house from then up to early 2018. That’s when we moved it to my new and current house in April 2018. It’s a work in progress and will continue to be for a while yet. Plenty in the works.
