The Head Angle Podcast – Brandon Loupos

Leave a Comment

The latest episode of The Head Angle Podcast has arrived. This time around Tom Boorman and Matt Holmes sat down with Brandon Loupos to talk about everything from how he got into BMX to where he is today bouncing around the world riding contests and getting ready for the Olympics. This one is 2 and a half hour long, so there’s a TON covered in this one, so hit play and get to know Brandon a little better!

“From his first steps into BMX at age 11 to becoming the first UCI World Champion just 15 years later, Brandon Loupos has chased a dream that many said was impossible.

His drive and single minded focus is a far cry from his school years, netting him X-Games gold and showcases just how following a passion can lead to greatness. Especially if you’re prepared to sacrifice everything.

The once ‘Mini Mirra’ has overcome more than a few challenges and is now on track to represent Australia in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, writing his own place in BMX history alongside his cherished childhood idol.

And while the stakes are now higher than ever, it’s his straight up love for riding that keeps it all in check.

We’re more than a little stoked to bring you this insight into a rider who wants to bring more to BMX and his legacy than just that iconic gold medal.

Talking to the past, present and future of BMX in Australia.
The Head Angle is an Australian BMX Podcast hosted by Tom Boorman & Matt Holmes.

Chimera A-Side BMX Park Finals Highlights

Leave a Comment

It’s pretty wild how the Chimera A-Side contest had $90,000 up for first place for park AND flatland, and there really hasn’t been a ton of footage from the contest popping up, yet. Here’s a highlight video from finals that shows all the bangers that went down in park finals. Brandon Loupos ended up taking the win and all that cash, so we would imagine he’ll be sitting nice all year.

Chimera A-Side – First Impressions

Leave a Comment

We’ve seen some pretty wild BMX contests over the years, but what we haven’t seen is prize money that would definitely make an impact. The Chimera A-Side contest going down in Japan this weekend has a first place prize of $90,000. Prize money amounts can be kind of secretive for big events like X Games, but we’re pretty sure this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, payouts for a 1st place in a BMX contest, which is awesome to see. Here’s a raw cut of some first impressions and a bit of riding footage that Vital BMX put together. It’s interesting to see the reaction these guys get when they contemplate what they would do if they won. We’ll see if the money is going to push people to go bigger than ever before to win. Either way, there’s going to be a park rider and a flatland rider with a real nice chunk of change in their bank account to start off 2020.

“We’re in Nagoya, Japan and the riders are about ready to compete for the $90,000 first place prize at the Chimera A-Side! Watch them get familiar with the course and hear how they’d spend the giant cash prize. Riders include Boyd Hilder, Logan Martin, Brandon Loupos, Daniel Sandoval, Justin Dowell, Ben Wallace, Rim Nakamura, and more!” – Vital BMX
