Top 5's with Jack Gruber
Jack Gruber, the young gun turned Royal Rat turned Back Bone video part filmer turned mad man. We've watched Jack rise from the young kid who walked in and got his first complete bike from us to now just killing it with us and Odyssey looking after him!
Jack fired out a rad minute web edit and a couple of photos, as well as answering a top five - so take a second to watch, read and learn about our brother Jack!
