BACK BONE ZONE PODCAST

Join Back Bone BMX co-owner Tyson Jones-Peni on the Back Bone Zone, our very own BMX podcast.

I am attempting to delve deeper into topics that may not typically be addressed in regular BMX podcasts. There are so many things that I think about that relates to the world of BMX, that might not be about BMX directly.

By bringing you regular solo podcast episodes and thinking through them on the fly, I can begin to explore topics that might otherwise be overlooked.

With an emphasis on Australian BMX content, I will always try to dive deeper into the awesome world of BMX.
I hope you enjoy the podcast. - Tyson

Josh Cernotta bought a property to fill it with BMX trails and the best jam ever

Josh Cernotta bought a property to fill it with BMX trails and the best jam ever

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.

What I learned about BMX from training Muay Thai

What I learned about BMX from training Muay Thai

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.
