Morgan Wade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morgan Wade (born 13 July 1983) is a professional BMX rider from Tyler, Texas. He competed in the 2006 XGames in the Freestyle and Big Air competitions. He is a professional bmxer. His sponsors include Snafu, Mutiny bikes ,and Etnies shoes.

What can be said about the guy that hasn't already been said in countless magazine articles and photo captions? I'm sure you already know that he's a complete lunatic on his bike, and that he seems to have a flagrant disregard for his own physical well-being. You may also already be aware that he's one of the nicest guys there is, and that he truly loves to simply have fun riding his bicycle. I might also add that he's a wonderful traveling companion, a great friend, and a blast to be around.

Morgan is twenty-one years old and hails from the not-too-small town of Tyler, TX. He's not home often, though, for a seemingly endless barrage of contests across the globe keep him on the road almost non-stop. These contests are definitely worth his time, though, because he tends to win them more often than not. Even with all his gold medals, Morgan's not the kind of guy to take these events too seriously -- his theory on competitions is that if he has a good time, then he'll probably end up placing well. Apparently he's right, as his approach seems to be paying off -- often quite literally.

A true innovator in BMX after inventing his very own trick the morgandonar which is a trick consisting of a wallride to bikeflip fair. Morgan has almost effortlessly accomplished feats on a bike that had previously only been dreamt of. Whether he's looping Baldy pipe, perfecting the bike flip, sliding the S-rail, or merely jumping some huge skatepark transfer that no one had ever even considered before, you know he's having a good time and isn't letting any of his talent go to his head.

Morgan has come a long, long way since his first video appearance in 1998. Over the years, he's transformed himself from a sketchy kid in a chest protector getting a clip in Road Fools 5 to a smooth, stylish shredder and one of the stars of Road Fools 14. What accounts for his success? No one can say for sure, but I'd be willing to guess that it's some combination of his genuine love for BMX, his outgoing and carefree personality, and the fact that he is simply not afraid. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure Morgan has a very bright future in keeping us all on the edges of our seats.
