“Coming from the legendary P.U.S.H. trail scene in Pittsburgh, PA, Todd Walkowiak made a big splash in BMX when dirt jumping was at it’s peak. Never flashy and always underrated, Todd was always a threat to the podium at almost every dirt comp. His technical riding was a breath of fresh air among the GO BIG attitude of the pro dirt era. Todd is perhaps one of the smartest and most talented people that I know… yet, remains modest, “if you’re prepared, than nothing is too hard”.

Stew still continues to push BMX in a positive direction through video; he produces X Games “Real BMX” on ESPN; a show that highlights street riders and filmers and shows what goes into filming a street video part.
