A Candid Conversation with Drew Bezanson

Drew Bezanson sits down to talk about a ton of stuff from his blown ACL to getting back to riding and more…

Last summer, Drew Bezanson blew out his ACL during the X Games. Since then, he’s been under the knife for surgery and doing a ton of Physical Therapy to get himself back to 100% and more. Vital BMX sat down with Drew for a little over 20 minute long conversation covering a ton of ground. Check it out!

“How candid is this? Well, Drew didn’t even know it was an interview until 75% of the way through. Watch as we catch up with Mr. Bezanson about his recovery from knee surgery, thoughts on The Olympics, why he’s at Simple Session, what the near future holds, and much more.” – Vital BMX

Ride BMX just dropped the trailer for the video that will be dropping this Spring. Get ready.

“Coming Spring 2018.. We honor the late Gabe Brooks.
