3000 Podcast 084 Lewis Mills

For episode 084 Maloney sits down with BMX rider and artist Lewis Mills.
Lewis went from relative unknown to holding an X Games silver medal in just a year. Truly bursting onto the scene, this now Melbourne local dropped a phenomenal video part that got the industry talking and spent the majority of 2018 hitting the fast track to becoming an established pro and riding for huge brands such as Van, Fiend, Monster Energy just to name a few.

Lewis' riding is confident, clean, powerful, and unbelievably technical. And really, those adjectives sum him up as a person, too. Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Lewis got into riding and stayed on the right path thanks to his older brother. Like most riders these days, he grew up riding a bit of everything but found true love in the streets. Millsy and his friend/filmer Ben Norris have been making edits since they were kids and you can still catch them doing the same on any given weekend. In between trips and clips, Lewis doubles as an incredibly talented artist doing commissioned paintings and murals. Lewis is constantly pulling triple duty as progressive video part rider, kill the contest scene, and keep the fiends on social media satiated with a constant flow of mind-blowing jibs.
