Nigel Sylvester stopped by Good Day New York to talk about his appearance on the MTV VMA red carpet with Pharrell, and to do a few tricks in the street. The best part is probably the lower 3rd graphics which had lines like “Most BMX riding is done without sitting down” and “There are no brakes on these BMX bikes”. He also unapologetically refuses to wear a helmet or even acknowledge that it’s a good idea.

Well, another piece of the puzzle came to light last night during MTV’s VMA awards when Nigel and a bunch of others rolled up on the red carpet with Pharrell where he mentioned “Brooklyn Machine Works”. There was a statement from Ralph Sinsi over on the Animal Bikes website explaining what’s to come…
“Nigel Sylvester announced in his usual style last night about the bike company he is starting with Pharrell. It is going to be Brooklyn Machine Works complete BMX bikes. Watch the video above to see how he rolled in last night live on MTV at the VMA’s red carpet with the whole crew including Rone, Ralphy, Oba, Marlon, and Hoder just to name a few. Of course, Nigel will continue to be one of our main team riders and run all our products with his frames. The Brooklyn completes will also feature components from Animal. Look for those at bicycle shops in the near future. Everyone knows Nigel has big plans and this is just a preview of what to expect.” – Ralph Sinisi
Complex – Nigel Sylvester: The Neighborhood
Just when you think that Nigel has done it all in the way of getting mainstream press, he comes through with something new. This time he gets a feature on Complex, which is so awesome to me. He goes back to his grandmother’s house, his old street spots and visits some friends to really give you a feel of where he came from.

Nigel Sylvester – Ridin’ With That Work (Feat. French Montana)
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Nigel Sylvester really put it down, but any haters or doubters will be put to rest with this one! Not only is he as good as ever, but he adds in some new stuff that I don’t recall having ever seen him do before. This really rekindles my curiosity about the bike brand he is suppose to have been working on since he left Mirraco too… hopefully we get news on that really soon!

Nike BMX – Baton Rouge
The video we’ve been waiting for the last week or so… The Nike BMX team trip to Baton Rouge video! Do I really need to say this is absolutely INSANE and a MUST SEE? Because… I’m going to slap you if you haven’t hit play yet…
“Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Dennis Enarson, Nigel Sylvester and Simone Barraco handled the streets of Baton Rouge for three days, and came back with some incredible footage. Is three days in a city long enough? With this crew it sure is! Filmed and edited by Ryan Navazio”
