The Expansion Project released their latest podcast featuring an interview with Terry Adams where he talks a little bit about Flatland and a lot about some of this business ventures outside of BMX. It’s definitely interesting to hear this stuff because we really didn’t know much about his life outside of BMX. Hit the play button and listen in.
“On this episode I got on FaceTime with one of my closest friends, Terry Adams.
Terry is a professional flatland BMX rider who grew up about an hour away from me, but even though we lived so close to each other our whole lives and were both into BMX, we didn’t really connect and become friends until early 2006 after I had graduated college.
Since then I’ve done countless photo and videos shoots with Terry all around the U.S. and traveled all over the world with him to various BMX contests and events.

Terry was homeschooled and dyslexic and began competing on the professional level at the age of 16. He has since won an X Games gold medal and numerous other competitions all around the globe. He’s been featured on the cover of and in the pages of all of the major BMX magazines around the word, and has won two Number One Rider Awards (NORA Cup) from Ride BMX Magazine. He’s also had a Flick Trix toy bike that was modeled after his personal bike.
Terry is currently one of (if not the only) flatland BMX riders in the United States that is making a living off his sponsors and endorsements. He’s a self-promotion and marketing machine that has figured out a way to present himself as a “BMX rider”, and not just a “flatland rider”.
Terry has a documentary about his life called “Dreams”, which is fitting because he bases a lot of his life off of his dreams and ambitions, setting goals, and bringing them all to fruition.
In the past few years Terry has gotten really into real estate investing, and now that he has formed an investment company with a business partner they are killing it! They are acquiring properties left and right with big plans to keep expanding very quickly.
In our conversation Terry and I talked about his money mindset, his obsession with setting and achieving goals, and some of the success he’s experienced with creating the life he dreams of.
We also talked a lot about how his mindset has changed over the years and allowed him to do bigger things with his life, career, and bank account.
I wanted this to be one of my first interviews with The Expansion Project, but our busy schedules just never lined up until now. With Terry as one of my closest friends I am beyond thrilled to share this conversation with the world!

Division Brand released this new BMX video featuring their Canadian connect, Owen Dawson, getting down on some of his local spots in Port Coquitlam. The video itself is VERY yellow but the jibs and lines are real solid. Take a look!
“Pawel Podgorny hooked up this local video of Owen filmed in one day around Port Coquitlam. His camera got pretty crazy with the colours but Owen’s riding is on point and the chill vibe this sets off is great.”
Fly Bikes have been dropping some sneak previews of their 2016 product range that will be dropping later this year. We got a look at their Tractor XL and Tractor Sprockets and the Fly Bikes X Etnies Tripod seat. Now we get a good look at their new Geo team frame that will be dropping later this year. There wasn’t much detail given, but based off the photos we’re seeing it looks like they have decided to go with gussets on the top and down tubes, a seat stay that some of you older guys might recognize from the Three Amigos frame, traditional removable brake mounts versus the Easy Brake System they use on their frames now and chain tensioners that run through the drop out. You can get a good look at the seat stay and drop outs after the jump!
The Cabbage crew down in Austin, Texas coming through with a rad new mix edit filled with goodness from the streets. Despite the name, this isn’t all grinds, there’s even a little pegless action in this. Take a peek and see what Shim Medrano and crew cooked up!
