Q&A with Jack Kelly
We caught up with JK recently, shot a few photos and talked about what’s been happening since he had knee surgery. Be on the lookout for some fresh footage of Jack soon but for now check it all out here.

Congrats to Jack Kelly who won this years street series jam that went down in Adelaide over the weekend. You can watch the video from the day below where Jack seems to destroy every spot the crew hit.
With JK back from knee surgery it’s great to see him back in full swing. We got a few sessions in on his flat rail and filmed a bunch of wild moves, check it out…
I’ve been back on the bike for almost a month now and while still feeling quite rusty after my time off the bike, I’m loving being back on the bike and back out riding with my friends, I’ve filmed a couple of clips here and there for my next web video and some for a bike check video Cooper and myself are working on so keep an eye out for that!

Jack Kelly and Polly both have good clips in this new mixtape from Focalpoint. Check it out…
We helped put on the jam down at Prahran park last weekend with Strictly BMX. Here is the video from the day which has some great riding from everyone including JK and Polly…
I haven’t been up to much lately riding wise as I’m still recovering from knee surgery so I’ve mainly been working and hanging out with mates getting out in the 4×4 but I can’t wait to be riding again and I’ve already come up with a bunch of things I want to film when I’m back.
Little throwback from when JK spent a month in California hitting every rail possible…
We helped support the recent Lilydale jam in Melbourne with YVCBMX and Jack Kelly filmed this video from it since he is out with a knee injury at the moment. Luke Parker shreds his local throughout.
So unfortunately whilst on the Adelaide trip last week Jack took a fall on some trails and tweaked his knee. Once we got back to Melbourne he had it all checked out which gave us the bad news that he had torn his ACL and fractured his knee. Jack has already kicked everything into gear seeing specialists so we are wishing him the best for a quick surgery and recovery.
JK has a double page advert in the current issue of Soul BMX over in Europe. The photo was shot by Daniel Johnson where Jack opposite crooks a large rail for his most recent video. All the 2016 frames are now available in Australia with the rest of the world in the coming weeks.
Jack Kelly has a few clips in this new Mixtape from the Sydney based crew, the whole thing is well worth a watch…
Lately I’ve been riding a lot of indoors as the weather is horrible in Melbourne, but in between the bad weather I’ve been squeezing sessions in at the local skatepark and a few others in Melbourne. And managed to film a few Instagram videos in the process.
Once the weather gets better hopefully I’ll be filming for a new project in the streeeeetsss!
Jack dropped his Welcome To Pro video at the end of 2014. We started filming another project almost straight away and this is the end result. Filmed around Melbourne and Sydney, Australia.
I recently flew to China for the Asian X-Games and managed to place 9th in street after qualifying for finals, very stoked with that result and the entire experience of it all. It’s so crazy to be hanging out/riding with dudes I look up to in a foreign country.
I also drove to Sydney last week with DJ and Coop to stay with Chris Whyte and to film for my next Colony web video which should be out very shortly. Thanks to Chris for letting us stay.
Jack was invited to the China X-Games this year so this morning he is jumping on a plane and spending a week there for the comp. Best of luck brother, enjoy!
I traveled to Adelaide for the Easter long weekend to hang out and ride with some interstate friends from Eat Children Crew. I got to ride a few parks and street spots that I hadn’t ridden before which was a treat and hanging out with those dudes is always a good time. I also filmed a bunch of clips with Rhys, Doug and Moz and some little instavideos which you can see below.
Thanks to Rhys, Liam, Tony and Moz for letting me stay at their houses and driving me about to ride!
The last month or so I’ve been riding a fair bit of park around Melbourne while Cooper is away, and looking for new street spots and ideas to film for my next web video. The new colony Monash prototype frame has been amazing, really strong and the geometry is perfect.
I also managed to film a few instagram videos, if you don’t already you can follow me on instagram @killjack to see more of the quick clips I post. peace!
These past couple of weeks I’ve been mostly riding local parks, a little street and my flat rail with good friends while the boss man aka Cooper Brownlee has been away. But I got a few clips with him this past weekend and a few pictures. I also caught the tail end of Colony’s shop tour a couple of weeks back and hung out at Strictly, Prahran and Box Hill to ride with the locals.
Jack Kelly had a rough day last week taking a few harsh slams but getting up and continuing the day out but towards the end of the day he took a fall which did’t look that bad but unfortunately tweaked his foot which is going to keep him on the bike for a couple weeks. For now check out his most recent video.
Some how he got back up from this crash…
A few shots of Jack and Dean from the recent Flem Banks jam. Thanks to James Patterson for the images.
This video has been in the works for quite some time which I think you can tell that from the finished product. Jack absolutely killed it and we wanted to tie in the video release with the news of welcoming him to the pro team. So here it is, enjoy!
Last week I headed to Adelaide to ride and film with Troy Charlesworth, Brock Olive & Mike Vockenson for an Australia mixtape Troy is working on and also to film with Vocko for Crispy Stream. Adelaide has an abundance of flat rails and spots in general which is awesome, and one of the best BMX scenes in Australia. Thanks to Rhys Gogel for letting us stay at his place and driving us around all over Adelaide & thanks to Dave Rubinich for the pictures.
