Australian BMX rider Jason Watts gives you a glimpse into his life as a traveling BMX bowl rider, following the Vans BMX Pro Cup around the globe. From bowls to beaches, Jason designs his life around fun and freestyle, and has found success on the Pro Tour as one of the most unique riders.
Well I've been wanting to make a Aussie BMX DVD for the past 4 years! And I've always had an excuse, or a web video thats distracted me! I'm quickly running out of time on the dead line I gave my self, with work, life and other excuses all getting squeezed in to this last couple of months.... Im hoping to get this done!! Here's the trailer for HAVE FUN, DIE TRYING... All about the good times with my mates!!! Everyone is putting in work! I'm pre sure Jonny took a pretty gnarly slam today! Hoping you are alright brother!
We’re beyond stoked to have Jason on the team, his love for good times and participating in building the BMX scene gets us stoked just as much as how bloody good he is on a bike. Also thanks a million to the legend James Fox for making this happen, without our knowledge he and Jase organised this whole thing and we are frothing!
Jason Watts was in Europe and decided to wing it from Málaga to 'The Lost Bowl' in Portugal before heading over to Barcelona. Wild camping all the way, 2000 miles with friends, the trip was certainly one to remember. Full story and photos at http://rideukb.mx/rUoVqc

Vans BMX Pro Rider Jason Watts takes you behind the scenes at the Vans BMX Pro Cup World Championships to get some video clips of his fellow riders, using some unorthodox techniques in his usual Aussie style.
The Vans BMX Pro Cup Series saw an incredible close to the final global qualifier event in Guadalajara, Mexico this past weekend as more than 30 world renowned BMX riders pursued their last chance to win before the Vans BMX Championships this season. Scouring the terrain with unpredictable and unique lines, Australia’s Jason Watts grasped his first major tour victory, highlighting an excellent performance merging technical manuals with back-to-back tricks throughout Montenegro’s vast course.
An emotional Watts states, “I’m speechless, winning this event is mind-boggling. Everyone rips it out there, I didn’t think this day would ever come. I have too much fun riding my bike to ever think about it.”
Trailing closely behind Watts, USA native and crowd favorite Larry Edgar earned a hard-earned second place, showcasing the contest’s greatest airs along with enormous trick combinations, while Spain’s Sergio Layos’ consistent riding and fearless speed merited him third, and also marks his third consecutive podium win in the series. Layos’ remarkable consistency throughout the series proves his momentum as a star contender to watch in the Championships.
Tom Dugan took home the event’s Best Trick award for a massive 360 bowl transfer, and Jamie Cooper-Ellis earned the event’s Best Line award in his first series appearance, landing an elevated bank transfer into the deep bowl.
Jason Watts blasts off in San Diego! Any rider who hauls ass on his way into deep concrete bowls is going to be an instant favorite. And wait to you see THAT 360 he starts a line off with, it's just straight up awesome. Speed, style, and the the tricks to complete the package. Decade to manual and hanger to 180 lookback shouldn't look so easy. Easily one of the top videos of the year.
