Idaho native Kurtis Downs is one of the most dynamic and innovative BMX riders in the game. Kurtis started out riding dirtbikes at a very young age and got into racing. His first attempt at a trick on BMX was at a moto race — he attempted a barspin on another kid’s bike. A few weeks later, he picked up his own bike, and a legend was born. His podium finish at the inaugural Nitro World Games in BMX Best Tricks and his medal in his first-ever X Games are testaments to his skill. His super technical riding that is inspired by FMX — including the World First BMX stripper flip — is something you don't want to miss.
