Back Bone BMX – Tyson Jones-Peni Bike Check

November 10, 2022

Get a look at Tyson Jones-Peni’s signature setup! Yeah, those are disc brakes!

There’s a lot of times a Bike Check will pop up, and they will look super dialed, but there isn’t anything that makes it unique. Well, Tyson Jones-Peni caught our eye with his new video Bike Check from Back Bone BMX! Tyson has been working with Wethepeople and Eclat on a few signature parts, one being his signature Chaos frame. That frame isn’t just some geometry, graphics and colors that Tyson picked, but Tyson managed to get himself DISC BRAKE MOUNTS on his frame. We’re pretty sure this is the first signature frame with disc brakes for a freestyle frame, but we could be wrong. Either way, it’s unique and pretty rad if we may say! Hit play to let Tyson give you the run through!

“Tyson Jones-Peni has been working with @Wethepeople BMX on his signature frame soon after joining the WTP team in 2020.. and it’s finally here, as well as his signature @Eclat BMX Exile seat.

Tyson built it up and took it straight to the park for first laps, then gives his thoughts on his brand new ride.. the Wethepeople Chaos Machine.

Tyson wanted to bring the disc brake feel to his signature frame and Wethepeople made it happen, which he is fairly certain is the first production freestyle frame with a disc mount.. Built for what Tyson likes to ride; the trails and big transition riding.” – Back Bone BMX

Colony – Act Jam 2022

October 14, 2022

The annual ACT Jam down in Australia went off!

Every year the ACT Jam is 3 days of pure BMX madness down in Australia. Usually they hit 3 different parks and it’s a non-stop party and crazy riding each day. This year Backbone BMX moved it indoors. We’re not sure what happened to change things up, but it sounds like it was due to heavy rains. Either way, they somehow managed to get in inside a warehouse and had a bunch of ramps built up in time for the contest to go off. Here’s a video Colony put together featuring their team at the contest. As expected, these guys crushed it as always. We would imagine there will be more videos coming from the contest soon, so get stoked.

“Watch Chris James, Paterico Fallico, Sam Grace, Ricky Catanzariti, Jayden Fuller, Clint Millar, Max Cvetkovic and Josh Eaton rip it at this years Backbone BMX ACT Jam.

Even with the rain issues Canberra was having the weekend of ACT JAM 2022 the crew from Backbone made it work!
