A DAY AT TRACTION

TRACTION provides the opportunity for young people to get on the tools and refurbish and customise their own projects from bicycles, lawn mowers, motorcycles and other machines donated by the community. Supported by mentors, participants discover talents, build confidence and self-belief. Here’s a snippet of a day at TRACTION. Thanks Alex for filming and collating these moments, captured at our West End, Moorooka and Capalaba workshops.

COLONY BMX 'TOP DOGS' VISIT TRACTION

​COLONY BMX founder and pro BMX rider Clint Millar visited TRACTION in early 2018 to see the program in action. It's great when the community takes an interest in TRACTION. Clint shared his story as one of Australia's pioneers on the pro BMX circuit and how he took the plunge to start COLONY BMX - Australia's own premium BMX brand. Clint also brought the other 'top dog' along - co-CEO and COLONY mascot "Hardy" the jug (Jack Russell-Pug cross).
