BMX // CANADIAN STAR

Posted by david@ukiyo | Riders

FIVE gloves are also well-loved among the BMX fraternity, including by a real star of the discipline from Canada, REDLINE ambassador, 5th in the World Championship, two-time podium finisher in the World Cup and 2013 Canadian Champion, Tory Nyhaug, aged 22.

The good-looking Canadian rider, standing six feet tall and weighing in at 198 pounds, was the only one of his countrymen selected to ride BMX at the London 2012 Olympic Games, where he competed only two months after a serious injury in which he ruptured his spleen during a race in The Netherlands. Renowned across the world as a top rider, Tory races in the biggest international events and has been particularly successful in the US.
