Episode 56 | What I learned about BMX from training Muay Thai with Kieran Walsh

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 04:00:00 +1000

Back Bone Zone episode 56: What a fun episode! I take on the challenge of speaking with someone completely out of BMX, by speaking with an expert in their field - Kieran Walsh.

Chris Doyle is without a doubt, one of the most legendary BMX riders on the planet - especially so in the trail world.

Chris has had a career in BMX that has spanned two decades. I wanted to know what got him there, but also how he was able to move from professional BMXer, to finding a new career in real estate.

Chris is one of my all-time favourite riders, so it was amazing to have the opportunity to speak with him on this and much more, including one of his fondest memories - ACT Jam.
