After claiming silver at the 2000 X Games and gold at the Australian X Games in ‘02, Nasty’s accomplishments earned him the NORA Cup in 2002 and ’03. In 2006 Nasty won The Extreme Thing contest and landing in the top 10 overall in the Dew Tour’s BMX dirt rankings in both ’05 and ’08. This 2X King of Dirt has spent the last decade at the business end of Dirt Jumping and with one of the most charismatic personalities in BMX, he’s been almost impossible to miss.
