Part two of the Nigel Sylvester interview with Vice Sports is now online! This one focuses a little more on how the industry and riders have reacted to some of the things he has done in the past like the ESPN Body Issue that hasn’t exactly been positive. There’s a lot more riding in this one as well, so hit play and take a look! If you missed part one, watch that right here!
“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 2, Nigel discusses the criticism that comes along with his unique place in the game.” – Vice Sports
