Gary Young On Built to Shred

ARMA BMX athlete Gary Young was recently spotted trying to conquer the “Rail Of Death” in a recent episode of Built To Shred. All we can say is that Gary has got some serious balls, or should we say nuts. Get it…?

The gist of this episode is that a bunch of surfers try to grind this gnarly rail as they are towed into it just off the shoreline. Nobody really handles it so they bring in Gary to get it done on his bike.

Check the video below to see all the chaos and carnage. Gary shows up around the 15 minute mark so you may have to scroll forward unless you feel like watching the entire episode. Enjoy! [Read more...]
