Here’s some interesting news to start your Wednesday off. It looks like Josh Perry and Bern Helmets are no longer working together. Based off what he said in his announcement, it sounds like Bern pretty much burned him and are no longer doing a BMX program as a whole, which is a bummer to hear. Get the full scoop from Josh below. Sounds like it was pretty shady…
“After about 6 years, I’m no longer riding for Bern Helmets. It definitely was not mutual. It was more like “hey, it’ll be sweet for a few years, then we’ll say we “forgot” to pay you one year, you’re so loyal you’ll stick around, we’ll lead you on, and then we’ll conveniently drop the Bmx program after promising to pay you and do all this cool stuff within the Bmx community”.
I’m pretty bummed as I feel I rode my heart out for them, believed in the brand, and thought they believed in me. Sucks being treating like shit when you’ve literally put your life on the line and promoted a brand you felt made sense to you and your passion.
Is it that hard to compensate someone for their hard work, especially after a 5-6 year relationship and not shade out on them?
I do not have anything new lined up and I’ll still be wearing my Bern helmet as it is safe and I believe in their products still. Just a bummer.”
