Hell on Wheels

As the name implies, Hell on Wheels is a shop that caters to getting rad. Whether it’s a skateboard, a BMX or a fixed freestyle bike, this shop in Newtown has all the parts, accessories, clothing and inspiration you need to get rolling. I met up with Tom yesterday, on his day off to check out the shop and see what he’s been working on for the past six years here in Sydney.

The thing I liked the most about the shop is you can tell that Tom’s put his all into it. He’s been riding longer than his average customer has been alive. BMX is huge in Australia but people like Tom kept his ears and eyes peeled on the States. A lot of the products on display come from long-standing companies like S&M, Profile and T-1. This bit of nostalgic Americana and regional shreddership makes Hell on Wheels a must-see shop.

If you live in Sydney and haven’t rolled through, do so and if you’re visiting, take the trip to Newtown to see Tom.
