“Spent the day hangin’ with the one and only Cody Pollard down at his laid-back farmhouse just outside beautiful Byron Bay. From morning brews to wrenching on his 1979 Toyota, ripping Harleys, and of course, roasting his backyard ramp and the brand-new Byron Bay bowl — this one’s got it all. Cody lives and breathes BMX and good times, and it shows in every clip. Hit play and enjoy a day in the life of one of Australia’s finest.”
“The MTB boom of the 80’s & 90’s was RAD, it got so many people on bikes….then for whatever reason some folks put them away for good one day, like this Redline Conquest 2 - this bike was forgotten for decades! Until the original owner pulled it out of their dusty garage & listed it on marketplace.
That’s where our story begins! My friend Matt Cordova was working in Idaho, saw the listing & bought it as quickly as he could knowing what potential it had. After knocking out a few miles on the stock setup only to be stopped when he destroyed the OG tires & ripped the freewheel off the hub. That’s when he called me. He was headed back to Colorado in a few days - we planned out the build, I ordered parts & the second he got back - we got to work.
Join us as we revive this beautiful, unique & rare Redline Conquest II to bring it into the modern era.
Thanks SO much for riding with me!”

“I’ve been shooting for 25 years, and I still love the game.
I create images, music and capture sound. There are many other steps before and after, but the meat is mixed with the potatoes. Eat it up.

If you are interested in hiring me for your next project, or if you have a full-time position you are looking to fill, feel free to drop me a DM.”
