  • About Me:
    Hey everyone I'm Glyn, I live in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire I have been riding BMX since I was about 5 or 6. I began BMX Racing when I was 7 and started riding BMX freestyle when I was about 17. I love to just ride my bike and have fun with it, I also like spending time with my lovely girlfriend Kelly. Hope you all enjoy BMX as much as I do! "Ride your Bike not a Bandwagon"
