Osiris is now hooking up Miles Rogoish. The entire Osiris BMX team is incredibly stoked about this addition and here is what Sean Burns had to say: “*If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Rogoish! Miles is one of those bastard Tulsa babies with odd amounts of pride for Oklahoma. I suppose it makes sense because he has an endless supply of spots in every city there and murders all of them. He’s also a total party rat with the brewster babes wherever he’s traveling. Osiris chunks is a perfect fit for Miles*.”
