BACK BONE ZONE PODCAST

Join Backbone BMX owner Tyson Jones-Peni on 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.

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.
