The Importance of Keeping It Local

First there comes an idea, then comes the motivation to fuel that idea… A little twist of fate and the right recipe for success, Ronnie Bonner has spent years working hard to accomplish a goal that is common amongst his supporters, staff, and riders and as a whole, his family. BMX is something we all start with at home and can take us all over the world. 

For 'the kids', getting a chance to ride with their favorite pros has usually been an relatively unobtainable goal, but a few years ago Ronnie and his team set out to help change just that by bringing BMX to the people via the The Shadow Conspiracy and a series of worldwide events called the Keep It Local (K.I.L.) Tours. 

To find out more, we caught up with Ron and Shadow’s TM Chadwick at their recent Sparky’s Night Jam held with a select bunch of their Pro team the night before an event for the locals on home soil, where it all began.
