"Troy Charlesworth has been responsible for a lot of what you've seen in Australian BMX for the past two decades, producing some of the most epic BMX videos, from the Droppin' Clips in 2007, to Tear Da Club Up in 2022. He's also filmed a lot of epic video parts for Australian BMX pro riders Boyd Hilder and Alex Hiam, to name a few. We discuss his journey in BMX and being behind the lens for these iconic moments."
