From the streets of Queens to the global stage, pro-BMX athlete and creative Nigel Sylvester has turned his bike into more than just a mode of transport—it’s become a symbol of possibility. In this fireside chat, Sylvester shares how he’s used his passion for riding to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and build a brand that transcends sport. Blending culture, style, and entrepreneurship, he’ll explore how following your own path can create new lanes for others and redefine what’s possible when you ride with purpose.
