Ask Back Bone – Can I Ride Your Trails?
Ask Back Bone Wednesday is back and the submitted question they picked to answer this week is, “Can I ride your trails?”. The trails in question are the Hillfire Trails that we’ve become quite familiar with from many a Back Bone edit and from their video. Those trails are pretty gnarly and I’m surprised that any kid wanting to ride them wouldn’t already be well aware of the rules and contributions required to do so. I do have a tendency to give kids too much credit though. Anyway, what Rhysty breaks down in this for anyone wanting to ride Hillfire can definitely be applied to anyone wanting to ride any other trails around the world. It’s all pretty standard stuff that probably anyone who visits this site already knows, but feel free to share the video to any of your friends uneducated in the ways of trails who may be interested in getting amongst them.

Back Bone Video Extras
Well what do you know, the Back Bone boys had some extra clips left over that didn’t make it into the video! Just like the video, it’s a mix of everything, but a good bit of the footage is from the trails. And speaking of the video, there are a few copies sitting here on my desk that are looking for homes. Head over to the STORE and snatch up a copy before someone else does and they’re all gone!
Updates are going to be slow around here until tomorrow but I’m psyched to leave you with this look into a day in the life of Tyson Jones-Peni. If I could only figure out how to keep my days consistently like his I’d be set!

Review: The Back Bone Video
Full length BMX DVD releases are becoming fewer and farther between with each passing year, and those with trails in them have become rarer than hen’s teeth. The trails community collectively popped a boner when Back Bone announced that they were going to be releasing a full length DVD. Anyone that knows anything about Back Bone knows that Rhysty and the crew are all about trails. Sure they have a few street guys on their team, but they also have the most impressive roster of Australian trail riders that has ever been assembled. After three years of accumulating footage, Back Bone tasked Brendan Boeck with the job of combining it all into one epic team video simply titled “The Back Bone Video.” Both the team and Brendan more than came through, and the result is 57 minutes of pure Australian bicycle motocross.
I couldn’t be more stoked to announce that we have The Back Bone Video available for pre-order in the store. They’ll be landing here early next week, and we’ll be shipping them out as soon as we get our hands on them! You can also expect a full review as soon as I get eyes on it. With full sections from Tyson Jones-Peni, Russell Brindley, Chris Harti, Benn Pigot, Jack Gruber, Will Gunn, Zac Miner, Jack O’Reilly, and even Ol’ Rhysty himself, there’s absolutely zero doubt that it will be fucking awesome! Peep the promo below and then get over to the STORE to lock down your copy.

Dane Searls Memorial Jam 2014
Back Bone’s yearly jam to honor the late Dane Searls took place last month at the Hillfire Trails in Canberra. People from all over showed up to pay tribute to Dane by spending a day with fellow friends having fun on their bikes. Once again the turn out looked amazing and they were blessed with great weather for the third year in a row. Rhysty penned some heartfelt words about the jam over on the Back Bone site that you should really take a second to read after you get done watching this.
