Clint Millar’s BMX origins began in 1988 after moving from New South Wales to Brisbane during his first year of high school. Clint befriended two budding freestylers in his grade, Michael Canfield and Bobby Herbohn. Watching them ride inspired Clint to dig out his old Supermax Cro-mo and believe it or not, sell his cow, Coco, to upgrade his bike with front brakes, and stunt pegs. The three riders grew to be close friends, exploring the Wynnum / Manly area looking for local spots, and learning all disciplines of Freestyle – flatland, ramp, street, and dirt.

By February 1989 the trio formed their first freestyle trick team, Haro Team II, performing demonstrations at local school fetes and shopping centres, and a month later, Clint entered in his first freestyle competition. This opened his eyes to a new world of a broader freestyle scene within South East Queensland; and by the years end, Clint was travelling interstate to compete at the larger national competitions.

As the 80s grew to an end, and a new era of freestyle was emerging the early 1990s, Clint quickly gained recognition as a talented flatlander, quietly refining, and progressing his ground tricks into smooth, technical, and consistent combinations and competition runs. With a handful of competitions under his belt Clint travelled to Victoria in June 1991, and, against recommendations, he entered his first Flatland Masters. Clint came home winning both his age and Master classes in Flatland, and third place in 16 years Ramp.

In 1992, Clint co-founded Wheels Entertainment with Michael and Bobby during their senior year of high school and expanded the trick team to include Sunnybank rider Tim Wood and a young Ryan Guettler. In September that year, Clint made his debut as an Australian Pro rider and competed at Brisbane’s 2hip Nationals where he won Pro Flatland amongst other seasoned riders. Skipping their high school graduation, Clint, Michael, and Bobby flew to Melbourne to perform on Hey Hey It's Saturday's Red Faces talent segment as the hip-hop BMX act ‘Ride DMC’. They won first place, with Derryn Hinch scoring them eleven out of ten.

Amidst freestyle's recession of the early 1990s, Clint took on the responsibility to keep riding and the local freestyle scene alive. Unable to find frames strong enough to withstand constant abuse, he co-designed the Prody frame with Michael and had the frames custom built. Clint took the initiative to bolster the dwindling scene by organising the ‘Rider’s Comps’ series. He also purchased a video camera and began filming and producing Australia's longest running freestyle video series under the name Prody Productions. It was around this time, that Clint was riding less flatland and gravitating towards ramp riding, combining his technical flatland skills on mini ramps.

In 1995, Clint travelled the United States for the first time to ride and compete, and by 1998 he became Australia's first international Professional freestyle rider. His prominence into the international scene soared into the new millennium, as he became one of the most prominent technical mini-ramp riders in the world.

In 2005, Clint was awarded best trick for his ‘Downside Whip’ at The Worlds in Colonge, Germany, and during that same year Clint founded Colony BMX as a small parts brand. In 2006, Clint was the first Australian freestyle rider with an international signature frame – the Wethepeople ‘Millar Lite’. On the side Colony was growing at a quick rate, and he took the next big step by expanding Colony into making frames and complete bikes. In 2012, Clint launched Academy BMX and Division Brand, and his importer and wholesale business, Family Distribution 2018.

Now in his 35th year of unwavering passion and commitment to Australian BMX, Clint’s legacy towers as one of the country’s greatest riders, industry icons, and cultural identities. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Clint Millar into the Australian BMX Hall of Fame.
