Christian Rigal brings fresh ideas and a new perspective to mountain biking, inspired by his BMX background. Rigal has become a household name in the mountain bike community for his creative street riding and all-out approach and has now signed a multi-year contract with Specialized.
| Truly honored and extremely excited to sign with Specialized for the next few years! I’ve looked up to so many of their riders and wanted their bikes since I was a little BMX Grom so it still feels like a dream! Very fortunate to have the sickest fleet of bikes imaginable and stoked to have some rad projects in the works with them this year! Yewwww!—Christian Rigal |
We look forward to seeing more creative videos from Rigal!
Subtly letting us know that you have a BMX background.
CX / Gravel Riders: MTBers are soooooooooo cool!!!
Road cyclists: CX riders are sooooooooo cool!!!
By his BMX background.
Are you not inspired?
JK.
*inspiredness intensifies*
MAN I'M SO FREAKING INSPIRED RIGHT NOW
But I'm confused, what is the issue with stating where your roots are?
Lololol
They'll trademark "BMX background" so that only their team riders can have it and they'll sue the crap out of you if you ever so much as touch a BMX.
It's like a point of pride in BMX style MTB edits. "Look at how f*cking awful these rigs are at going backwards!"
