Apple Podcasts5DiscoJimboUnited Kingdom4 years ago - A glance into the lives of some UK BMX greats.
I’ve listened to the Fids and Scott Malyon episodes so far, love it. Cool hearing the riders stories straight from them, with John Dye making it happen. It’s amazing how influential the UK scene has been around the world, and continues to be. Stoked I got to ride Scott’s ramp when I was in London in 2009.
