Devon Smillie – 2nd Place

“Devon was heavily tipped to win in 2017 but he came in runner-up. His lines go on-and-on, and he’s super exciting to watch.

Chad Kerley – 3rd Place

“Only Chad could get away with rocking a visor these days. He calls his bike “Milk”, and he can pop a bar-to-manual out of anything. Chad is really consistent and did qualify first but a close final score with the judges sat him back in 3rd.

Well, here’s you chance because Ride BMX strapped a Mic on Devon during a session at a school to see and hear just what’s going on from riding and chilling to playing basketball with Demarcus Paul and Garrett Reynolds to slaying a rail that had a little modification. Take a peek!

“Somewhere between a Bullshittin’ and an interview, we have this. I met up with Tony Neyer, Reed Stark, and Devon Smillie while they were were in town getting some last minute clips for the upcoming videos. After just chilling for a while, I decided to throw a mic on Devon and let him do his thing. The goal wasn’t to interview Devon or get him to talk shit on anything, but simply get a real, honest glimpse at what goes through Devon’s head as he’s about to clock in for a clip. Shout out to Reed to taking over at the end there, too!” – Ride BMX
