The Back Bone Video – Zac Miner Section

June 2, 2017

The crew at Back Bone BMX down in Australia are keeping the party going with sections from “The Back Bone Video“. Up next, we get Zac Miner‘s section that’s filled with assault on the streets and a little skatepark action as well! Zac is no stranger to going to work on rails, ledges, banks and walls, and this section is a good reminder of that. This section is packed full of banger after banger with some insanely manly rails being slayed. Check it because this is too good to miss!

Did you catch Russell Brindley’s section?

“Zac Miner’s absolutely EPIC section in the Back Bone Video. Zac turns 30 today so it’s worth it that we jump out of order for this one and give a gift to everyone else.. Happy Birthday, Zac!
