Jason Phelan's fluid style and entertaining approach to riding enable him to achieve anything he can dream up. While young, Jason learned that his bike could take him anywhere and it has been his aim to remind riders that they are only limited by their imagination.
He has rode for bike companies such as WeThePeople and GT Bikes earning himself signature bikes from both. Jason has also rode for Nike,DeWalt,Extreme,Fuse pads,Bawbags.
Jason grew up riding bikes, skateboarding and doing other crazy Jackass-style stuff with his brothers in Waterford. His grandfather had a farm house with a motocross track on the land, so he spent much of his early days building dirt jumps and sending himself off drops and bumps. When he wasn't at the farm, he was out with his friends causing havoc around the city in search of abandoned buildings and spots to build ramps in.
In 2005, he moved to Liverpool in search of fame and fortune and soon enough the sponsorship and travel opportunities were arriving thick and fast, including a first class trip to China with Nike, Pretty much living wherever his bike takes him. Other countries visited in recent years include Germany, France, Estonia,South Africa,Spain,Bulgaria the USA, across Asia,Malaysia and many more.
Jason is undoubtedly one of today's true BMX riding machines, always pushing himself to the limit and going for the highest and craziest moves with fearless enthusiasm. However, his brutal, full-throttle riding style sometimes gets him into difficulties - in 2013, he broke two ribs when attempting to do a backflip out of a self-built rail. Not one to let a crash get in his way he pulled this trick the following year and then one up himself again for a live Facebook video another year later doing a backflip barspin out of the rail. The video amassed to over 4 million views and quickly spread around the internet like wildfire being the first and only person to do a grind to Backflip Barspin.
Shortly after, Jason completed his most recent viral video project bringing one of his dreams to life riding amongst some deep sea diving boats. This was made possible through the help of his sponsors, Dewalt,Extreme,GT Bikes and Bawbags. The video has now reached over to 2 million views.
