Wait Awhile is finally here!

We premiered this late last year at our ten year party and it got an absolute roaring reception. Life, work and other responsibilities got in the way, so there has been a bit of a delay getting hard copies sorted, something Callan really wanted for the purists to add to their collections. We are here now, its sorted and out and I am stoked! Some things are worth waiting for and this is definitely one of them.  

Wait Awhile is Callan Stibbards third full length release featuring the cream of the crop of Perth street riders including Callan Stibbards, Tom Roddy, Mitch Morris, Jake Corless, Kyle Ralston, Luke Snelling, Dylan Mathews, Filipe Costa Laghi, Matt Bell, Luke Cridland and friends. 

Filmed and edited by Callan Stibbards.

45 min run time. 

Digital download and DVD combo here.

Local BMX team rider, Jayden Fong has been crushing it and he even caught the eye of Wethepeople, who he'll now be repping through BMX International. If you're not familiar with Jayden yet, sit back and enjoy eight minutes of high quality street riding. Some of those spots are magic too.

"I've had a heap of fun making this project over the last year, spots ranging from Perth to the South Coast of WA. Thanks to all the boys who helped film this video and for pushing me to try new things! Thanks Local BMX, WeThePeople and BMX International." - Jayden Fong

"Our team rider Jayden Fong has been ripping and put together this edit over the last year, after he showed it to me I hit up Scott from BMX International to see if we could get Jayden helped out with some WTP gear and Scott was down to support. We are stoked to have Jayden repping WTP here in Aus. Thank you Scott, BMX International and WeThePeople." - Mike / Local BMX

Kyle has been on the road and was staying in Adelaide, South Australia for a hot minute with some of the local Adelaide crew, during which he filmed this vid. Featuring Kyle Ralston, Mitch Campbell, Brad Collins, Zenith Riley, Jimmah, Mitch Pike, Jayden Fong and Brayden Mcpharlin.

Kyle starts out the vid with two and a half minutes of heat on the Adelaide streets, it looks like they have plenty of cool looking spots over there and gave Kyle the grand tour. 

Zenith Riley has a mini section with a few sick clips in there at the 5 minute mark and I spotted a couple of Jayden Fong clips from 6:13 too. 

Check it out now!

Kyle just got hooked up with Eclat through BMX International so I took the opportunity to hit him up about what parts he is running.

We have pretty much all of this gear in stock so if you see something you like go snap it up or come down to the shop.

Unknown post

Stress plastic front pegs

Unknown steel rear pegs

Favourite part: Probably my bars, badlands stem, and plastic/metal peg combo. The centric pedals feel really good too with how they are flush on the crank.

Oldest part: either my front wheel or the steelies, I’m not sure.

Why the plastic front pegs and steel rear pegs? Business up front, party in the back. 

If ya wanna add that I got a bit of video with myself and parts from the crew in Adelaide coming out that could be good.

 Jayden Fong - Welcome to Local BMX!

Jayden and his lady Ebony drove over to the west in late 2021 from his hometown of Sydney, originally for a quickish stop in on their lap round Oz but they soon realised west is best and put down some roots and are staying for the forseeable future. 

Jayden's skills on a bike were immediately apparent, the dude can ride a bike! He used to rep Stranger and Primo through Triple Six distribution, not sure what happened there, but as you can see he is still ripping. Jayden quickly became friends with the crew and was happily supporting and repping the shop so the next step to put him on the team was a no brainer. Welcome Jayden!

Kyle Ralston originally filmed and edited this vid for Backbone's ACT video comp last year, then we premiere'd it at our ten year party. I asked Jayden if he wanted to be on the team at the ten year party, he was stoked and then suggested that the vid could be his welcome to the team vid. Perfect.

Jayden along  Filipe Laghi, Mitchell Morris, Zenith Riley, and Kyle Ralstoncruising the streets of Perth, Enjoy!

Also I added Jayden's Dig Locals vid from 2018 below from back home in Sydney below, suss them out too. He has been good for a long time.

Worth a mention is his Stranger vid from 2019, though its not embeddable, check it out on Youtube. 

Zenith Riley - Six Month Dump.

Zen’s new edit just went live on our YouTube page, riding BMX in the streets of Western Australia. 95% of this footage is from the first six months of this year, with a couple of lost clips found from late last year too. Cool to see Zen continuing to progress his riding. Enjoy!

Filmed by Jay Wilson, Fabio Canetti, Jacob Love and Zen.

After a long hiatus I have bought back the "Old Gold" series.

The concept is "The modern internet era has a habit of slapping you in the face with fresh content multiple times a day, you can sometimes forget about some old gems from the past. Old gold are video/edits from West Oz's rich BMX history, the common theme will be either they are from WA or filmed the section here."

Next up is Dak Roche who came here way back in early 2014 to film a signature shoe promo vid for Vans. The concept was cooked up by Calvin Kosovich to bring Dak from his native California to Calvins home town of Perth, Western Australia and show him around and see what he could get done, and he produced all this was filmed in under a week. Dak came out with filmer/editor Will Stroud, photographer Justin Kosman and Jerry Badders the old Vans TM. 

It was a rare treat to have a top tier pro in town, we dont get too many come through given our isolation and the high costs of getting here. Dak was at the top of his game, still is obviously and it was cool to see what he got done on these spots we recognize and ride, and some we haven't too, haha.

They stayed in Freo during filming so heaps of the spots are around here, like the line at 2:05 is at Woolstores, 50m from the shop, go see how high that window sill he smith grinds is. I love the clips inside the South Freo Power Station too, good luck getting in there now. Plenty of cool stuff like that. 

Calvin wasn't just a tour guide and comes through with some clips too, 1:25 gap to nose manual with a big drop at the end in the Power Station, and the nollie to pegs straight after, both heavy moves. 

We had just opened Local BMX the previous year so had Dak in for a quick meet and greet/ signing session for our customers and he hopped the old shop sign too. Cheers for that Dak! 

Anyway thats enough from me, watch the vid. Enjoy!

Kyle Ralston was filming with a Panasonic HMC, decided it was too big to lug around so he is going back to his smaller Dad cam, so this is a footage dump of sorts. 

Dont let that fool you, there is some top notch riding in here from Kyle Ralston, Jayden Fong, Tom Roddy, Dylan Matthews, Callan Stibbards, Jake Corless, Luke Snelling, Mitch Morris and Ben Gately. Filmed in Perth. Enjoy!. 

Zenith Riley filmed all these clips over the last year or two in and around the streets of Perth. Filmed by the homies, edited by Zen, uploaded by Mike, viewable by you. Enjoy! Song is MF Doom - Dragons Blood 

Our 2022 Local Bmx Halloween Jam went down on Saturday the 29th of Oct at Manning skatepark and it was a good time!

Thanks to everyone who came down even though the weather was looking iffy the rain held off and we got it done. I'm pretty sure everyone that showed up rolled home with some give aways and stickers at least. 

Josh O'Neil filmed this rad edit which showed a few mini comps we ran on the day, Cheers Josh for putting that together. Enjoy and see you next year!

In late May 2022, Luke Snelling was running his second DIY jam titled “For the hell for it”. A couple of the Queensland boys, Raph and Jerry figured it would be a good opportunity to head over west for a trip.

Cheers to all the crew involved with the jam and trip!

Featuring Jerry Vandervalk, Raph Jeroma-Williams, Jake Corless, Luke Snelling, Matt Bell, Shane Ellis, Callan Stibbards, and Dempsey Barischetti.

Experts In Skin - Constant Mongrel

For the next installment of Old Gold we have this edit that Calvin Kosovich put together for us back in 2014. Filmed by Callan Stibbards, Graeme Scott and Jordan Dentamaro through out Perth, Albany, Melbourne and a line from a famous San Francisco spot at the 1 minute mark which ties in with the SF B roll footage throughout.

Calvin was already firmly making his mark on the BMX world back then, he had a couple of solid sections in Let it Bleed and Still Bleeding Black and Blue which he also filmed the majority of and edited himself. He had also just been picked up by Kink and Vans after riding for now defunct brand The Set. I'm pretty sure this is his last section filmed at home before he moved to America. 

As you would expect from Calvin there is some big rail moves, some big gaps and  a sprinkling of tech moves throughout. Enjoy!
