Nigel Sylvester: The BMXer combining sport and culture
Nigel Sylvester has redefined what it means to be a BMX athlete. His videos have been watched by millions of people, he’s worked with some of the biggest brands, and he famously got a mention from Jay-Z in the Frank Ocean song "Biking".
Sylvester tells Sportshour’s Caroline Barker how his passion for BMX started on his grandmother’s driveway in Jamaica, Queens, in New York, and has led to his impact extending far beyond his skills on the bike including giving back through his foundation.
