Foxy is one of those people you can legitimately say is a “Silent Shredder” , Humble, soft spoken & wise when it comes to way more than just riding bikes, The dude is always down for a good time whether it be on or off his bike,.Searching the Latrobe Valley for spots with the homies or heading out to swimming holes for a good time during the summer. One of those people that no one has a bad word to say about & his riding, well I think it speaks for itself. Tech wizardry plus creativity to boot, and burly first try shit that leaves everyone at the spot speechless. Adrian Fox kills it.

Alright let’s get the basics first up,
Name: Adrian Fox.
Age: 26.
Resides: Morwell, Victoria
Years riding: Street & Park 10 years, before that I just messed around on jumps I built.
What’s your earliest memory of riding dude, Like what brought you to bmx initially?
On my 11th birthday my mum got me a Gary Fisher and a bmx video ” Miracle boy and Nyquist “. I lived out of town and built / rode trails for the first few years.
How is it living & riding in the Latrobe Valley / Gippsland?
It’s alright, most of the towns here are close together so there is plenty of spots to choose from for a rural area.
What is it that you’re currently doing for work & how often each week would you get out to ride ?
I’m a car detailer , I work for Chrysler / Jeep. It’s pretty good, basic wage but I do get to drive some really nice cars which is a bonus ! (laughs) I get to ride a fair bit in the summer as there is three hours of daylight after I knock off work to roll the local skatepark. Then I’ll ride weekends provided my body can handle it.
The scene has really been building out here the past few years, any kids you’ve noticed coming up?
Ryan Delost kid is just a treat to watch ride and Callan McCulloch progresses quicker than I’ve seen anyone, it’s bizarre.
Any dudes in particular that you draw influence from riding wise, Style , tricks etc?
Chase DeHart, Josh Stricker and Bob Scerbo. currently Jake Seeley really stands out.
Any projects you’re working on at the moment filming wise ?
Yeah I’ve been gathering clips for the past few months with Jason Griffiths, I’m having fun with it but I currently have a fractured rib, so that’s on hold.
What’s your all time favorite video part, VHS , DVD or even web video?
The Texas Section out of Joe Simons ” Lets Get Mystical ” the cinematography was amazing along with the riding.
What would be a perfect day in your eyes ?
About 26 degrees, hot coffee, clear skies and birds singing. Have a chill morning probably do some exploring whether it’s for spots or new areas out of town. then link up with all the homies wherever the session is going down, maybe convince some of them to ride street (laughs).
Favorite spot / park to ride?
Geelong waterfront skate plaza and off the top of my head those crazy good new coping ledges in Melbourne are so fun.
People to ride with / People to watch ride?
Ryan Delost , Pat Freyne, Dean Anderson, Jason Griffiths and all the Melbourne crew, I always have a blast in the city.
Any last words you or people you want to thank / shout out ?
I would like to thank everyone who rides there bike, Why? Just because! (laughs) , My Mum for encouraging me & buying my first bike. Most importantly I’d like to thank Nathan Charles & Sam Tormey for the everlasting inspiration and motivation , Peace.
