Leon Perkins is back and crushing it!
After a few year hiatus due to life taking over, Leon Perkins had a few opportunities come through that gave him the time to get back on the bike. Well, it sure doesn’t look like he missed a day because he’s still crushing it just as hard as he used to!
“Back in 2019 I took a step away from riding bmx, with a growing family and responsibilities adding up I couldn’t ride the way I enjoyed riding, riding to my best ability and pushing myself.
Over the next few years I suffered with depression, only touching my bike a handful of times.
At the start of 2023 I was asked to work at junction 4 skatepark as a coach, whilst also working along side British cycling as a tutor, judge and also piloting their new coaching courses and freestyle bmx clubs.
Back on the bike, I find myself getting more confident as the time goes on so I set myself 12 months to film an edit, times up! I wanted to get 15 more clips but ran out of time and I have an injury so here it is.
Hope you enjoy!” – Leon Perkins
