A New Era For Strictly BMX

March 13, 2024

Colony’s Clint Millar has bought Strictly BMX shop!

Here’s a little industry news for you! Strictly BMX Shop was recently put up for sale, and the one and only Clint Millar has bought it to keep things rolling down in Australia. As most of you know, Clint also owns Colony BMX and its sub brands Division and Academy, along with Family Distribution that is a distributor and shop, so he has just a little bit of experience with this sort of thing! Above is a short video where Clint has a few words on the change. It sounds like a new team and plenty of other good things to come, so expect to see more from Strictly BMX in 2024.

“When I found out that Strictly BMX was up for grabs late in 2023 I knew I had to make moves to continue the legacy.

Since 1996 Strictly BMX has been in the forefront of the BMX retail space here in Australia. From being the first to enter the online retail world in BMX, to clever marketing, an amazing team of riders, running unique BMX events plus the largest range of BMX bikes & parts in Australia with fast & efficient mail order.

We have relocated Strictly BMX to the Brisbane / Gold Coast region with a whole new showroom.

Strictly BMX has a deep history & one that we will continue to grow forward in the years ahead.

Welcome to a whole new era of Strictly BMX.” – Clint Millar

Wheels Squared BMX Show V2.0

March 12, 2024

Check out the new Wheels Squared BMX Show rig!

Over the years we’ve seen a bunch of different setups that the show riders out there use. A lot of the rigs are big and pretty bulky. Well, Jared Eberwein has cooked up a new rig that all fits on a trailer for his motorcycle. Here’s a video where you get a look at the rig, along with Jared throwing down on the kicker and landing. This is pretty rad.

“This moment has been a long time coming, since the beginning of Wheels Squared. My timeline didn’t go anywhere near as I planned, but man am I grateful to reach the point I am with this wild adventure. The Road Glide has already been in motion and performing, and I wanted to create this video right away once I converted the Road Glide, but not everything pans out in a perfect order, and that’s alright. I still never really had a statement to showcase the new Road Glide and the revamping of my setup, but here we go!!! Hope you like it.

Dan Foley – Unwind

March 10, 2024

Dan Foley coming through with a fresh raw cut!

We have been digging these videos that Dan Foley have been putting out lately giving us a look at the solo sessions he has been getting in over the course of a few weeks. Here’s his latest batch of clips from the past month where, as always, he delivers with great riding and clean film work. Check it out!

“Ambient footage from a handful of sessions between late February and early March 2024. While shooting this, the presence of the upcoming spring season really helped me uncoil physically and mentally. It’s funny how much of an impact a little consistent sunshine and warmth can have, even amidst battling a few tricks.
