Top 5's with Russell Brindley
Russ has been a busy dude lately, even busier than a business owner and dad can be on the regular, making some serious upgrades to an old trail spot in Canberra over the last 8 months. Adding to that, Russ will be sitting at the judges table over the next two weekends, judging the Vans BMX Pro Cup along with fellow legend & T-1 brethren, Joe Rich.
Rusty also found the time to fire out some Top 5's, so if you want to find out what makes one of the most stylish dudes on the planet tick, keep a readin'!

The rusty hessian, way up there on the spine set - the set is 4ft long, has a lip that is almost 8ft tall. It sends you up, but Russ is taking the piss here. Juiced and then some. Tyson JP photo.
