This is a pretty interesting listen since not only does Antonio crush it on a bike, but has done some interesting things online as well. Give it a listen!

“Antonio Chavez is a professional BMX rider from AZ living in San Diego. He rides for Fiend, Primo, Vans, and dabbles in the motocross world as well. He’s a recovering tiktok influencer lol. You’ve seen him in all the legendary Fiend web videos. You’ve seen him on Instagram. He’s clean he’s fresh he’s a cool humble mf. I enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too!

I always wanted to know him considering we’re from the same state but never really kicked it. This was great.

Drop The Pin – Kerley, Martinez & Chavez

May 22, 2018

Chad Kerley, Antonio Chavez and Corey Martinez drop a pin and cruise some spots…

Here’s the latest Drop The Pin video from Ride BMX. This time around Chad Kerley, Corey Martinez and Antonio Chavez explore some spots around San Diego after Antonio drops a pin on his map app. Check out where they ended up and what they stacked for clips!

“Blindly drop a pin on your phone and see what you can find…

Antonio Chavez dropped the pin and two powerhouses tagged along to the hills of Pacific Beach. Definitely not a place we would have ever chosen, but I happened to grow up in the area and knew of a couple of spots and we stumbled onto a few more. Overall, we covered ground on this one, so luckily Colin Varanyak happened to meet up just as most of us were out of gas…

Thanks to Antonio, Chad, and Corey for killing it…and to Colin for saving us from riding up that hill)

Primo – Antonio Chavez Edit

April 2, 2013

This video Primo dropped is so crazy. Little Antonio Chavez might only be 14, but he’s sooooo good. This kid has some super clean barspins, knows how to click a turn down and how to put his pegs to good use. There’s no denying we’ll be seeing plenty more from this guy in the future.

“On a team trip out to Arizona we had the privilege of meeting Antonio Chavez. Antonio is only 14 years old but is shredder and really seemed to mesh with a lot of the team guys. After a couple of days of riding with him we made a collective decision to hook him up with some Primo goods and he reps them hard in this new edit. Looking forward to seeing Antonio’s progression in the future.
