Ya thats the one thing I work on daily is just over extending and holding the trick as long as possible to make the trick look the best. Is style and extension important for you? You are a great rider with a lot of riding skills – your noflip tricks like Double Hart Attack, Ruler, Rock Solid Indian etc. Now I just practice with X Games gold medallist Kyle Loza at the Riders4Christ compound and with fmx rider Taylor Sterner at the Saloon. I did have my own spot at my house for a while with just one ramp and landing but unfortunately I moved out of that house a few months ago. When I don’t go practice I have nothing to do during the day and I get so bored. I try to get out and ride everyday for atleast a good hour. Do you have your own FMX compound and how do you train? Ya practice is the key to it all. Training is one of the most important bases of FMX. It was the coolest feeling ever and now im at where I am today. So I geared up and took a few runs at it and just hucked it and did it clean haha. So then one day i met freestyle rider Billy Walls and Scott Stephens and they invited me to hit there ramp out in the hills at a local freeride spot (Beaumont, CA) I was soo scared because I got there and the ramp was set at like 80 feet to this huge grass hill. Do you also have one? How and when did you start riding MX bikes and what affected you to do FMX? Ya I got my first bike when I was 4 years old, started racing when I was 5 and when I was 14 i found myself at tracks turning around and cutting corners just to hit the jumps haha. Im only 18 years old and on the right track right now so hopefully you will all be hearing more of me.Īlmost every rider has a cool story how he started with MX. My mission in freestyle motocross is just to become one of the top competitors in all the contests around the world and just be known. Whats up guys im from the US out of Sun City, California. įirst of all, tell the guys out there some basics about you - where do you come from, how old are you and what is your mission? We talked with one of the most talented US riders about his passion FMX and his plans for the future. His awesome style on the bike doing tricks like the double Hart Attack reminds me a bit of the good old times of Drake McElroy, when he declassified the complete IFMA elite in the beginning of 2003. Destin Cantrell is one of the young guns of the global FMX scene.
