- Jumping forward a decade or so from our last episode. I first met Owain
in the 90's, he was a tiny chatty kid ripping around the boneyard in
Chester and the surrounding skateparks of the time. Fast forward many
years and this dude has never dropped off. Rode for a bunch of big
companies, won contests, flew around the world, scoring multiple
magazine covers, video parts, road trips and done all there is to do in
the game of BMX. We get in to the start of his BMX journey, trips to
Woodward as a kid, growing up around the Chester BMX scene. Changing up
riding styles, and the in-depth street riding phase and why, riding all
terrain, his involvement with BMX now, the obsession with collecting old
BMX media, recent barn edit and the open loop. And even some UKBMX hall
of fame talk in here.

Another Banger! Loved this one, what an incredible inspiration Owain is. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Good lad is Owain. Met him in maybe 2000 and still get the occasional back and forth on instagram. Just could do whatever he want on a bike. Great interview
Nice interview bruv. Couple of things. There was another skatepark in Chester in the 70’s in the old theatre that’s now been bulldozed. It had one giant vert wall where the stage would be. On the right a narrow full pipe. Second the full pipe beam angles were 5 degrees in case anyone wants to copy it. And yes 14ft tall. First time you went to Wakefield was with me. I have film of you gobsmacked at Bestwicks riding. Considering you never dabbled in drugs remembering dates is not your thing. But ask him where the 3ft ledge in blah blah land and he’ll take you straight there.
Excellent Owain is a super nice guy! Thanks for another cracking Union tapes John 👊
