Alex Hiam: Nothing Special? Think Again!

 
 

Updated: Thursday, 06 January 2011

Alex Hiam may look like your pesky little brother who does nothing but do all those juvenile kid stuff and make your life miserable.  And by all account, this professional BMX rider may be all that had he had older siblings.  Hiam lives like a normal kid enjoying the things other kids do.  Looking at him, it seems that he’s nothing really special.  That is, nothing special until he gets on that BMX bike and shows his stuff on ramps.

Alex Hiam has barely even gotten to his teens but a lot of BMX watchers are already predicting that he's going to be the next biggest BMX rider.

Alex was born in August 1995, making him 15 by his last birthday.  The unassuming teenager started riding at the age of ten and learned everything fast and soon!  He quickly drew media and fan attention in his native Australia for the tricks he exhibits on the BMX tracks.  From elephant glides, to skips, to complicated spins, to awesome whips, he has got it all.  His time on the bike has been described as magical as viewers watch in awe at how he executes the various tricks that he had become known for.  One reviewer described him as a little boy with BMX wings.

For most, Hiam looks too small for his bike when he was starting out.  Not a problem now that he has his own signature frame made by long time sponsor, Colony BMX.  The Sweet Tooth Frame  came out in 2009, making Alex Hiam the youngest BMX biker to have his own signature frame.

Hiam co-designed and co-developed the Sweet Tooth frame, which may be seen here.

Hiam currently has three sponsors: ForTheRiders, Colony BMX and Back Bone BMX.

See Alex Hiam in action in the next video to learn more about him.  As you can see, he is just a normal kid being interviewed on an ordinary day.  Interestingly, mentor Nick Richardson is also featured in this New Pollution interview, as well as the people behind Colony.
