Brisbane BMX Legend Gifts Local Kid a New Ride

In a simple but powerful act of kindness, Clint Millar — the owner of Brisbane’s Strictly BMX, made one young local’s dream come true at Runaway Bay skatepark. Clint was out filming with friends when he noticed a determined young rider on a beat-up girls bike carving around the park. A week later, the same kid was back, jumping the spine with confidence.

Struck by the kid’s dedication, Clint started a conversation. Kaeden told him he bought the bike for $3 from the tip shop and that his proper BMX was at his dad’s place, meaning he couldn’t ride it while staying with his mum.

“I said to meet me here next weekend and I’ll hook you up with a bike,” Clint wrote in a post that’s since gained traction on a local Facebook Community Group.

True to his word, Clint returned with a brand-new Division Reark BMX. The the stoked smile on Kaeden’s face said it all.

Check it out! Now Kaeden can shred on a blacked out division bike. He might not even end up using his other bike.

“Not all heroes wear capes. Some ride bikes. Thank you for being a great human.”
