If there is one thing Jacob has its persistence. So many of the clips in his part are of technical heights much higher than what the average Joe would attempt.
Anyone who is familiar with the world of action sports has heard the name Jed Mildon. He has been known as one of the most successful BMX riders in the world since his viral success in 2011. However, many don’t know his incredible story. Mildon started from very humble beginnings working as a welder and riding his bike when he could. He saw the potential that he had when it came to his riding and decided to put all of his eggs into this basket.
In 2011, Mildon's life really changed. You can read on Nitro Circus that Mildon has changed the world of action sports for everyone involved. Deciding that he wanted to break a world record, Mildon enlisted the help of a local McDonald's restaurant. Mildon convinced McDonald's to pay for the application that was needed to apply for a Guinness World Records. McDonald's agreed to help with this feat, and Mildon went on to be the first BMX rider to ever successfully complete a triple backflip.
This was life changing for Mildon as his video of this record breaking event went viral. It wasn't long before the biggest names in the industry were contacting Mildon.
Welding quickly became a thing of the past for this overnight BMX celebrity.

We are stoked to officially anounce that Janis Bauska is now repping Subrosa over here in the Baltics. He was a fan of the brand's image and always chose Subrosa parts, so it totaly makes sence. Big things to come from this tall gentleman!

We’d be been planning a trip to Madrid for literally years. It’s a city with too many good rails and we took a crew more than capable of taking advantage of that.
