Like the saying goes… Time flies when you’re having fun! Leon Perkins is celebrating his 20th year of riding BMX, and decided to put together a video to celebrate. This video is filled with footage spanning all 20 years from parks to street spots, trails and more. There’s contest footage and laid back session footage. There’s nos shortage of great riding packed into this video, and it’s pretty cool to see how his progression and style has changed in that time. Hit play and take this all in!
“This year i wanted to make a brand new riding video with all new footage, to celebrate riding BMX for twenty years. Instead we are on lock down so i took a trip down memory lane and created this.
BMX made me who i am today, it took a young kid from a council estate in Liverpool, all over the country and then around the world. it enabled me to make the greatest friends and taught many a lesson about life.
Its been an amazing ride, with many more to come.
Special thank you to Rampworx skate park, my home from home for the past 20 years.
Huge amount of love to all my friends, anyone who I’ve shared a ramp with, rode in a comp with, been on a road trip with and to anyone who has pointed a camera at me.
Filmers – Bongo, Jason Phelan, Chris Wilmshurst, Zack Williams, David Mcfadden and anyone else who I’ve forgot!
This Video is dedicated to Ian Robinson, One of Rampworx’s original creators. RIP.
Thanks for watching!” – Leon Perkins
