New fire for the BMX Direct team out in Thailand, in the form of Myanmar's Lewis Aung. A week in the city of Chiang Mai was enough for Lewis to get this welcome video in the bag, and he should be super proud. Even with the situation in his home country, you can't stifle this dude's motivation. 

"Welcome to the team Lewis! I was so stoked to meet Lewis that I showed up at the airport a day early, lol. After going back and forth for a couple of months we planned this trip to get him out to Thailand and film a little welcome edit. He worked hard for this.We shot this over the space of a week in Chiang Mai while in the mix with a bunch of heavy hitters visiting Thailand at the same time. It was Lewis' first time out on a major trip, filming and riding with dudes from all over the world. Stoked to see what the future brings for him. Side note; Lewis is from Myanmar, if you didn't know it is in the midst of a brutal civil war and things are very hard over there. He's of military draft age and in the current situation I don't think anyone would want to be involved with all of that." - Schogn Lee / BMX Direct
