Corey Bohan, Anthony Napolitan, TJ Ellis & Brandon Dosch on BMX

October 11, 2012

Corey Bohan, Anthony Napolitan, TJ Ellis and Stephen Murray give their perspective of how strong dirt is in BMX. I couldn’t agree more with what these guys are saying.

“The deepest roots of BMX progression lie in the dirt. From the camaraderie among riders laboring together to build trails, to the amount of adrenaline that pulses through a rider once they are mid double looking down the rest of line, BMX dirt has always been regarded the proving ground for true professional BMX riders. We catch up with Corey Bohan, Anthony Napolitan, TJ Ellis, Brandon Dosch and Stephen Murray to talk about some major competitions, progression and the upcoming Dew Tour event in San Francisco. Hear from the pros about the state of BMX dirt as they take you Inside BMX” – Alli Sports

TJ Ellis’ year started off a little slow but it looks like he’s back to full power these days.

“TJ Ellis started off his year on the BMX mend from an ankle surgery, but following his healing he started off his year by hitting Cam White’s backyard jam in Australia. Following the giant Australian jam, Ellis hit the contest scene hard everywhere. Now Ellis is focussed in on taking Dew Tour dirt! Find out how TJ Ellis has spent his 2012 season and hear what he is looking forward to in this Catching Up.” – Alli Sports
