6 Questions With Nigel Sylvester

Nigel is one of the hottest riders in many years to come out of New York. Anyone who's seen him ride has been impressed and he's picked up a small army of sponsors in a short period of time including coveted spots on Mirraco and Animal. I caught up with him to ask him about what his life's like and he even got in a few questions for me in the process. Feeeeeeeeeel meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

1) True or false, you're getting your own reality show on MTV.

First i want to start this off by saying what's poppin B to all my peoples out there "feeeeel meeeeee".

I have to say that rumor is false, but I would of loved to see all the hater's faces when they read that. I'm not getting my own show even though that would of been official hahahha. MTV holla at ya boy!

2) You're sponsored by LRG and Nike now, neither of which are known for sponsoring riders, how'd you get hooked up with those sponsors?

Hahah, yeah I'm really excited to be riding for both companies, things happen for crazy reasons and I just happen to be in the right places at the rite time, know the right people and putting that work in "ALL DAY" feeeeel meeeeee.

3) Was it scary 180 barspinning the 10 stair at the banks? How do you build up to doing a 180 barspin that big?

Nah it wasn't scary I had my mind set on doing it for a while now. It felt real good letting them rip down that set. Feeeeel meeee.

4) Who are 3 riders that don't get the credit they deserve for their riding right now?

Three riders that don't get enough credit for their riding let me think........ they're so many good dude out there so I'll just throw out a bunch of names off the top of my head.... Ralphy aka RR, Big James, Marlon, Lil Jeff. Those are just a few dudes that came to the top of my head real quick.

5) What are you filming for now? Is the Flipside filming all done?

Well right now I'm filming for the new Skavenger mixtape which is going to be FIRE so go cop that EARLS feeeeel meeeeee, and over the next few days i'm going to be finishing my Flipside part. The video is pretty much done, but I got a few last minute things. I gotta give a shout out to Glenn PP aka Double PP all day. Hahhaaahah.

6) There are a lot of new rap albums dropping now, what are you listening to and what are you looking forward to hearing?

Yeah theres a lot of new fire dropping now a days so I listen to a bit of everything, but I just got the new Jay-Z album I haven't formed a solid opinion about it yet but so far it's pretty good. I'm really waiting for the new Young Jeezy to hit the street 'cause his music is fire feeeeel meeeeee.

So let me ask you a few questions.

1) What made you want to start this site?

I realized that there were a lot of hot videos being posted on the internet, but for a lot of people they were hard to find so I had the idea to start collecting them all in one place. Over time I've tried to post news and interviews with the riders I'm into on the site too. I feel like there are a bunch of good BMX sites online but that they show love to corny ass riders that nobody's checking for so I try to focus on real deal street riders that people want to read about.

2) What do you think about the state of BMX right now?

To me, BMX is just me rolling around with my friends. The shit I do on this site is fun and it's helped me meet a lot of cool people but I'm not thinking about all this shit when I'm riding a dirty ass ledge by myself alone at night. There are a lot of fake ass people in BMX who think that they're worth something because they can do a 360 whip or because they got a picture in a magazine and I really don't give a fuck about all that. Thanks for this interview!
