  • ► Watch BMX Nigeria Part 2 with Courage Adams here: • BMX Brought Him Home |...
    BMX street is one of the most frequently evolving sports in the world. Fashions come and go as pro riders flit between the contest scene and their latest video release. In Nigeria, things are a bit different.
    As it is around the globe, riding bikes can be about breaking down walls and allowing an ever-growing group of riders to connect and feed off each other's inspirations and influences.
    In this film, Starboy, KK Money and S-King lead us through the streets of Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, to illustrate just what a difference riding bikes has made to their lives and what their hopes are for the history of the sport in their town.
    BMX on the streets of Lagos seems to be a blend of both old- and new-school influences and looks set to head off in its own unique direction as the riders and scene evolves. We can't wait to see just what the future brings for BMX in Nigeria.

      I got off dope through rock climbing, also found a passion for mathematics. Back on dope though, be careful you don't just replace one addiction for another, because if you get injured and can't use your crutch (skating), you'll end up going back to your old crutch (using).

    When I was a kid only 16 years old I decided to go on my own due to the hardship from my parents. I can proudly say that my life was saved buy a BMX bike. I wrote it everywhere I got a job as a dishwasher and bought my first BMX racing bike after scene kids jump around on dirt jumps. I told myself "i can do this" so I went to my local bike shop and bought myself my first racing bike on layaway. A GT Mach One $20 a month. So I decided to become a BMXICAN because BMX I CAN. My dream what's to become a state champion one day but little did I knew that I was going to become state champion 5 years in a row and 2 times National in a row. So my message is keep dreaming guys and let no one take your dreams Away from you the sky is the limit. When you fall you get right back up and keep on pedaling until the end of the finish line and then you press on further. Let no one steal your dreams or put you down. Peace out from California

    Just found this, and I loved it! Different time, different country, but this so reminds me of us when we first found BMX. No money, old broken bits of bike, put together in the garage, no brakes! And no ramps or parks, just whatever you could find to trick off. Only difference is that we had no internet, from which to learn what tricks were possible. We just made it up. I'm too old now (although still have my old bike) but I would live to ride with these guys as they re-discover the sport for themselves.

    "we don't have skatepark here in nigeria so we ride in the street" it reminds me myself when i started riding skating etc in my lost village with a few friends. Then i broke my bike (it was a bad one) and i saved money during some years before buying a nice one with cr mo pieces and double wall rims and ride again, then get a car to go to skatepark and street spots in the cities.
    rly loved this vid, we'll keep an eye on them !

    I'm so excited I Could Cry, I've Road BMX for the past 13 years and only have seen a handful of Black Riders. However after watching this video I feel connected to the sport in a completely different way. I have to go ride with them.
    @RedBull let's work together to befit this new energy

      Loved this video. I rode BMX as a kid and then moved on to mountain bikes. way back then, and still to this day, I am one of the very very few black riders in this sport.
      Peace.
