Kelowna BMX Rider Pedals His Way Into Canadian Hall of Fame
Mach was honored for decades of riding, touring and design work that helped his BMX art reach international audiences.
On Nov 7, Kelowna BMX rider Dom Mach earned induction into the Canadian BMX Freestyle Hall at Maple Ridge's North Shore Bike Park.
Mach began riding in 1988, initially falling in love with the sport before joining a Bikes Team in 1996 at age 20 for a two-month tour.
Four years later, Mach gained sponsorship from Macneil Bikes, touring the world while developing a style the Canadian BMX Hall describes as "ripping everything and everything on his bike" since age 12.
Beyond riding, Mach designed stickers and T-shirts for Basic Bike and Ten Pack BMX, with his artwork eventually gaining international recognition within the BMX community.
Now in his fifties, Mach operates the Social Hermit Collective, a streetwear brand focused on bikes, skateboards, and action sports culture.
