Mike Brennan / Intro

To say Mike is a household name in BMX is probably an understatement, when Mike first charged onto the BMX scene it was threw the slightly out of focus fish eye lens on a Sony VX1 and the streets were dark and grimy. Mike has never held back even as the years roll on by, give him a set of stairs or a sweet rail set up and he will destroy it! Mike's signature frame is a split with Max called 'the warriors', its one of the best selling frames on the market and continues to withstand the brutal strength of riders such as Mike. Mike continues to work at the Animal HQ in New York and divides his time between his family, riding and collecting other various motor vehicles.
