Profile:
Dennis McCoy is a true legend in BMX. He is arguably the most well rounded rider in the sport and has reached the pinnacle in every discipline of freestyle BMX, including flatland, during his "Decade of Dominance." Every house he's ever lived in has had a ramp in the basement or backyard that he has ridden tirelessly. Dennis never rests on his grand successes and constantly tries to come up with new tricks. Few have brought more to the sport than this former winner of the "Tough as Nails" award.
