IMPRIMATUR

A FORUM FOR THE ANALYTICAL DISCUSSION OF BMX CULTURE & Politics

PODCAST:
​
BMX BREAKDOWN:
​Richard Mungall - Exploring "Freestyle"

by Mike Hinkens
October 21, 2018
In this episode of the ImprimaturBMX podcast, Richard Mungall returns to discuss some big questions including: What is Freestyle? Why do we do it? And why is it so important? Utilizing simple analogies, cross-cultural examples, and various philosophical approaches, Richard works to define what he sees as the mystical nature of freestyle as a way of being that transcends both bikes and tricks. Throughout, and in conclusion, Richard argues that we need to be consciously aware of ourselves within BMX in order to get the most out of life as well as the most out of the diverse experiences that constitute Freestyle BMX. ​
