Back Bone BMX – Rhysty’s Birthday Trail Jam

May 10, 2022

The Back Bone BMX crew threw a birthday jam for Rhys “Rhysty” Williams‘ 46th birthday down in Australia! The jumps were primed in and looked perfect, and there were a good turn out for a full day of riding and good times! Hit play and take a look!

“We all got legless as on the weekend to celebrate Rhysty’s 46th birthday. Legless line at the trails is a fun one, that’s for sure. Made even more fun with some laps for the birthday trail boss. Shout out to the homies who dig at the trails.

The Back Bone Video – Rhysty Section

July 11, 2017

The Back Bone Video wouldn’t exist without this guy! Here’s a look at Rhysty‘s section from The Back Bone Video that packed full of trails goodness from Australia to the United States. This has a pretty laid back vibe to it, but we’re loving every second of this one. Great riding and some amazing trails. You can’t go wrong with that combo.

“The big dog. Rhysty opened the shop in 2005 and it has been running it down for 12 years. His passion for BMX and building trails has gone on for 30+ years and that passion flowed on to opening the store, as well as travelling the world to visit different trail spots. His section in the video reflects that, visiting trails in West Australia, to Eastern Pennsylvania, to his backyard and his trail spot, Hillfire, in Canberra.”

Fast forward to the other week and the video was finally released worldwide. Our good friend Jon over at Can You Dig It got a bunch of copies to distribute in the U.S and he hooked it up with a copy. We figured since we were so stoked on the trailer that we better be prepared to do a review once we got our hands on a copy. That day came the other day and the video went straight into the DVD player. Here’s what we thought…
