Here’s the trailer giving you a taste of what’s to come from Dylan Lewis, Benn Pigot, Trent Rowsell, Jonny Mackellar, Jason Watts and many more. This isn’t going to be your nibbler jibbler street video, that’s for sure.

Here’s the trailer for HAVE FUN, DIE TRYING… All about the good times with my mates!!! Everyone is putting in work! Im pre sure Jonny took a pretty gnarly slam today!

Back Bone BMX – Jason Watts Welcome Video

January 9, 2018

Check out Jason Watts’ official welcome to the Back Bone BMX team!

Jason Watts might be no longer riding for Haro, but it looks like he is now doing it for Back Bone BMX down in Australia. We’re not quite sure who he will be riding for as far as a bike sponsor goes in 2018… Yet (we could see Subrosa or S&M)… But, it’s safe to say the Back Bone BMX guys will be keeping his bike nice and dialed so he can absolutely SLAY everything he touches from trails to ramps and street spots. This new video is packed with amazing riding from seat stand nose manuals to decades, flairs, cranked turndowns, huge inverts and much, much more. You can’t really predict Jason’s riding, so it keeps things real interesting from start to finish. Hit that play button!

“We’re beyond stoked to have Jason on the team, his love for good times and participating in building the BMX scene gets us stoked just as much as how bloody good he is on a bike. Also thanks a million to the legend James Fox for making this happen, without our knowledge he and Jase organised this whole thing and we are frothing!

Pull back or die!’” – Tyson Jones-Peni

“I’m always looking for an excuse to Road trip with the homies!! So what better excuse than to create this video to welcome Jason to the Backbone family!! Original concept was to film a video in 3 days in Canberra and then some how we just kept traveling up north!! Thanks for the good times!!!

Have Fun, Die Trying…” – James Fox

Tyler Fernengel and Jason Watts OFF Haro

December 12, 2017

The 2018 Sponsor shake ups begin with a serious bang… Tyler Fernengel and Jason Watts are no longer riding for Haro! Both riders have announced that they will be stepping down from the team after around 4 years on the team for both. Based off the Instagram posts, it sounds like it was their decisions to step down, we’re just not sure what spurred the decision.

Pretty crazy to say this but I have decided that I will no longer be riding for @harobmx. It was a dream come true and fun while it lasted. Some things have changed and I feel this is the best decision for me now. I want to thank @colinmackaybmx for making it into a family instead of a sponsor, but it just doesn’t feel right if we all aren’t together. Here’s to never looking back, not worrying about the future, and living in the moment. ❤️

Could we see more riders leaving the Haro team in 2018? Tyler does hint that “it just doesn’t feel right if we all aren’t together“… Tyler leaves his recently released signature TF frame behind with the decision.

End of an amazing adventure riding for Haro bikes as I've decided to no longer ride for @harobmx can't thank everyone enough at Haro for all the amazing times and help they have giving me over the last 4 years it was one hell of a time ???

Jason Watts – Winging It The Whole Way

October 6, 2017

It’s always a good day when a fresh Jason Watts BMX video surfaces online. The crew at Ride UK tagged along with Jason Watts as he cruised around Spain and Portugal hitting up a bunch of different cement parts. As expected, Jason ended up filming a ton of great clips from lofty airs to those crazy nose manual nac-nac’s that he does. Take a look!

“Jason Watts was in Europe and decided to wing it from Málaga to ‘The Lost Bowl’ in Portugal before heading over to Barcelona. Wild camping all the way, 2000 miles with friends, the trip was certainly one to remember.
