What happens when you’re 6ft6 and try to ride a tiny BMX the entire length of the UK? Well… this.
This is part one of my journey from John o’Groats to Land’s End, attempting to ride 965 miles on a 20″ BMX

Incredible josh well done
Have been binge watching bikepacking vids all day this one has got to be the most extreme challenge.
thats hardcore 965 miles.. 5 mile to work and back is trying but highly enjoyable.. freestyle bmx is more comfy.. slalom a World of pain
This is simultaneously bizarre , brilliant, bonkers and utterly beautiful.
Chapeau Josh, Chapeau.
Amazing video! You should have put on the stunt pegs for maximum effect 😂
Rumour has it, some strange, mind altering drugs have recently contaminated the water supply in Bournemouth. This confirms those rumours are true 😂.
Fantastic effort fella 👍
Brilliant,your completely off your head 😅
This is the most bonkers thing ever yet it makes perfect sense. chapeau!
Ha, bmx is the dogs, but I made mine electric…cos pedaling a bmx is some grind 😂
Like recreational drug users constantly needing a bigger fix; in that vein – when gravel bike riding doesn't do it anymore there's BMX – obviously!
Francis Cade Everested on a BMX.
Oh tail wind, I thought you said tail whip! You need some pegs on the front nice to plonk your feet and stretch your legs on the down hills. Top job, Nice one!
This is next level!
Mate that’s crazy. But above and beyond to produce content 👏👏👏👏
Oh my God. Your poor knees!
Mad as a box of frogs. 😊
Josh you never cease to amaise me with new ideas and chalenges that seem so out of reach for the rest of us! Good health to you mate! Cheers!
Insane challenge. Amazing.
Have a little cheat & pop on some cheap bar ends to save your wrist 👍
Bonkers…
Did someone once say “ it’s not about the bike “ I guess a lot of people are just wondering why they have spent so much money on their bike just to go on a coffee run. This is something very special indeed. 🫡
Though about doing it on a BMX one time.. it's a bold move.
Why?
What next, a space hopper across the Penine Way?
After watching this I'm hopping to the Moon without oxygen.
you should get a bmx brand to sponsor you a 26 inch cruiser and use a 500mm seatpost and 46T. that might be fun as well as doable.
What an absolutely crazy and funny thing to do. Can't wait for the next one!
Totally bonkers, wishing you many tail winds.
