BMX pro Nigel Sylvester shares some of his favorite things, including music, sneakers, food, toys, and places to bike.

Queens born Nigel Sylvester honed his two wheeling skills on the streets of New York City, which prepared him for his career as a professional BMX rider ? one who has actually never ridden in a competition. That said, Sylvester has crafted his own path to athletic stardom, leading to major endorsement deals with Nike, Beats by Dre, G-Shock, New Era, Casio, Animal Bikes, and Pharrell Williams’ Brooklyn Machine Works. He’s also racked up over 213,000 Instagram followers and has produced a viral series of GO videos where he takes you on anxiety-inducing, yet mesmerizing journeys through the cities of New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Dubai, via his perspective as he performs tricks, meets up with people, and races around in ways most of us would never have the nerve to. While normally he expresses himself on a bike, just recently Sylvester turned a bike into art in a project called 218 CAPUCINE. Working with upholsterer and artist Daniel McRorie of Rickard Guy, he pays homage to Louis Vuitton by decking out a BMX bike with the brand’s signature initial material. On top of the previously mentioned, he recently made Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for 2017. (GET IT!) In this week’s Friday Five, this celebrity BMX pro connects us with some of his favorite things, including music, sneakers, food, toys, and places to bike.
