Mark Losey on BMXComps.com
The other day Mark Losey announced a new project that he has been working on called BMX Comps, which takes a closer look at professional riders rankings based on the contests they attend and how well they do. In a sport like BMX that doesn’t really have set “rules” and a lot of perspective that is based off the opinion of ones views on a riders style or bag of tricks they can unleash on a course, along with so many different styles of contests and how they are judged, it can be hard to see just where a rider stands. Mark sat down and took a look at all these different events happening around the world and found some common ground that allowed him to calculate 100+ of the top contest riders from around the world score to see just where they ranked. We were really curious about this system, so we caught up with him to talk a little bit about how he did it and just what BMX Comps is all about! Let’s see what he had to say!

Vice – Nigel Sylvester Taking on BMX – Part 1
Here it is. Vice Sports just dropped part 1 of Nigel Sylvester’s interview giving us a little insight into his life and how he got to where he is now. Although we’ve all heard Nigel’s story, this one is a little different and we learn and see a few things you probably didn’t know, like that his mom had cancer and that was a huge changing point in his life. Hit play and take it all in.
“Nigel Sylvester might be BMX’s most recognizable figure, but his life and career are anything but typical of the sport. With several major endorsements, a clothing line and riding videos featuring the likes of French Montana and Pharrell, he has taken his brand far beyond the bike and garnered criticism for it along the way. Although he’s constantly reminded of his presence in a predominately white sport, Nigel has injected his unique personality into BMX and found unparalleled success doing it. In Part 1, we go to Jamaica, Queens to see the people and places that shaped Nigel into the person and rider that he is. Check back next week for Part 2. ” – Vice Sports
