Charge Urban

Nigel Sylvester Firsthand

“It’s the 2 wheel culture – doesn’t matter if it’s a mtb, bmx, track bike, fixie, no matter what it is, we all experience the same thing riding through the city… Just something about bikes man.“

Well put and such a great video. Worth the watch. Keep ripping Nigel! He’s always one of the first people to say hey at the BK Banks and no beef with fixed gears whatsoever. Such a nice guy.

Seriously, watch the whole thing. There are a ton of clips, cameos and other tidbits. Interbike ’08 complete with a shot of Affinity’s booth. Bike polo, track bikes, messengers and even a story about Ghost Bikes.

    It’s awesome to hear when BMXers respects all forms of riding. I myself have been riding BMX for over 10 years now and have always felt the same way. In recent years I started to get into fixed gears as a more appropriate means of transportation over the BMX and I have to say that riding the fixed gear is just as much of a thrill as riding my BMX. I really hate when I check The Come Up and there’s nothing but hate on fixed gears. We’re all just trying to have fun with what we love the most, our bikes.

    Yeah he rides for 6.0, and honestly himself and Reynolds are BOSS. They just do wild shit. And on a side note…breaking a femur is crazy business, can’t imagine the pain.

    Damn, Nigel is so sick. I somehow missed this before. I really appreciate when people have positive attitudes about all kinds of riding. It seems absolutely ridiculous to hate on how someone else rides a bike.
