Hang 5 Podcast: Episode 26 / Travis Collier
Episode 26 of the Hang 5 Podcast just dropped with Travis Collier, over to Francois Debroux and TC!
“For this episode, we travel to New York state where Vancouver native Travis Collier is now residing. Growing up in the Vancouver Flatland scene of the late 90’s, Travis went to make a big impact on the flatland world with his unique style. One of the, if not the first one to use the pumping technique during combos. A very creative mind, he also designed some flatland products still in use today. After a successful pro career, he went on to found a design agency. That eventually led him to relocate to New York and work with some famous liquor brands.
Here is his story.”

TJ Perry: A Link Story
TJ Perry just dropped this nice story behind getting back into riding and the challenges he faced, and the struggles of working his riding from a large out in the open rough car park surface to undercover smooth garage riding spot with very little resistance on the tyres. This worth your time to sit down and watch and listen to, great to see TJ give some advice that can help others. We definitely need more of these helpful videos.
