Meet the Control BMX Team
Behind every build, every wheel, and every product we ship is a passionate team of riders dedicated to quality, progression, and BMX culture.
Chris Miller
Chris Miller is the founder of Control BMX and a rider who lives and breathes BMX. Known for his mid school technical style, Chris has spent years perfecting smooth lines, creative tricks, and keeping the core spirit of BMX alive.
With decades of experience in the BMX scene, Chris built Control BMX to give riders a proper one-stop BMX shop, offering bikes, parts, and gear for every level of rider. His passion for the sport is what drives the brand — supporting riders, building the community, and pushing BMX progression.
When he’s not running the store, you’ll usually find Chris behind the bars, filming clips, riding with the team, or hosting podcasts, jams, and BMX events through Control BMX.
Chris represents what Control BMX is all about: style, progression, and staying in control.
Charlie Allen
Charlie Allen is a rider who never holds back. Known for his fearless approach and commitment to going all in, Charlie has built a reputation for riding big — and then pushing it even further. Whether it’s sending huge jumps, charging lines at full speed, or taking on features others might hesitate at, you’ll struggle to find a rider who goes higher or bigger.
His riding style is all about confidence, power, and progression. Charlie brings a level of energy to every session that naturally pushes the riders around him to step things up. It’s that drive to progress, combined with a genuine love for BMX, that makes him such an exciting rider to watch.
Away from his own riding, Charlie is also deeply involved in helping the next generation of BMX riders develop their skills. He has a fantastic connection with up-and-coming talent and is always willing to offer encouragement, advice, and support to riders looking to progress. Friendly and approachable, he’s the kind of rider younger BMXers feel comfortable learning from and riding alongside.
You can also see Charlie performing regularly at BMX shows across the country, where his big riding style and crowd-pleasing tricks make him a standout rider at any event.
Charlie brings incredible energy, talent, and positivity to everything he does, and we’re very lucky to have him as part of the Control BMX team.
Morgan Thornley
Morgan Thornley is a standout member of the Control BMX team and a rider whose passion for BMX shines through in everything he does. With a strong drive to progress, a love for riding, and a style that reflects both confidence and personality, Morgan continues to establish himself as an exciting talent within the team.
From an early stage, Morgan was drawn into BMX by watching legendary videos like the Nike Pool video and major events such as the X Games. That early inspiration sparked a real passion for the sport and set him on the path to developing his own riding style and pushing himself further every time he gets on the bike.
When it comes to inspiration, Morgan looks up to riders like Scotty Cranmer and Harry Main. Watching the way they rode, progressed, and competed gave him the motivation to ride more, improve his skills, and keep striving to reach the next level in BMX. That same hunger to progress is something Morgan brings into his own riding every session.
A rider with a real love for style and creativity, Morgan’s favourite trick is the Vader Slide — a trick he could do all day, every day. It perfectly reflects his enjoyment of BMX and the way he brings energy and personality into his riding. Whether he’s learning something new or dialling in tricks he loves, Morgan is always focused on enjoying the sport while continuing to improve.
His favourite place to ride is Ramp 1 Skatepark, the park he calls home and where it all started for him. It’s a place that has played a huge part in his BMX journey and remains a key part of his progression as a rider.
Morgan is an important part of the Control BMX team and a great example of what BMX is all about — passion, progression, and enjoying every moment on the bike. With his dedication, influences, and clear love for the sport, Morgan continues to be a rider with plenty of potential and an exciting future ahead.
