Monster Energy uploaded this new one featuring Jose Torres where he talks about getting into riding, then going all the way to the podium at the X Games. This is a rad story and there’s plenty of dialed riding mixed in with this, along with some footage showing how he keeps himself in shape for riding!

“José Torres A.K.A.”Maligno” has been collecting principal hardware in the BMX scene since picking up a bike at the age of 14. Becoming eligible for his first X Games, José took a serious fall at the ‘Road to X Games’ qualifiers leaving him with taxing injuries to his arm. After strenuous rehab and a mental rehaul, he got back on the bike and went on to win his first X Games medal at Minneapolis 2019. José Torres is the ‘Rising Monster’.” – Monster Energy
