Jason Phelan / Intro
Jason is one hell of an individual, in fact he is pretty much one of a kind, loves a social drink, loves a rail or two and loves being on the road. He currently lives in Liverpool and rides everyday, every minute in fact. His eagerness is maybe seen as too unhealthy, but it's that fearless enthusiasm that has propelled him into the best of the best of PRO BMXers. Catching up with Jason might not be easy, his schedule is always hectic but it's the life he loves. His signature PRO frame is called 'The Irish' and it's exactly what you would want in a signature frame.
