About Tyson
Dream Big. Ride Hard. Never Stop.
Tyson is a bold christian that lives by faith and not by sight. He is lead by The Holy Spirit which put a deep desire in his heart before he was born. His favorite bible verse right now is:
"They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall RUN and not be weary, they shall WALK and not faint..." Isaiah 40:31
He loves riding his dirt bike...it's all he has ever known. It gives him the excitement of a roller coaster but he's in control of it. He has raced his whole life but he didn't like it that much so he switched to freestyle riding and it was the most freeing feeling in the world.
Ever since he was young he has always imagined himself on top of a landing revving his bike out in front of a huge crowd. He never knew exactly how or when it was going to happen, whether through racing or freestyle, but he has always pictured himself doing just that and it keeps him motivated to improve his riding style.
He also likes helping other people get better because freestyle is a sport where it's you vs. you. It's not like racing where you get a lot of guys about to take you out. You just keep focused on your goals for each session with a positive mindset and keep improving your skills.
He hopes to inspire riders everywhere to live with passion.
Backstory Behind the Brand
Injury update...
For those who don't know the story:
Tyson was out riding his dirt bike and everything went well that day with his riding. This was not a riding related injury... the injury cause is much more tragic.
While riding his dirt bike home he was hit by a speeding SUV drifting down a loose dirt road. He was on the shoulder of the road and the vehicle came speeding/drifting towards him and slammed into him on his dirt bike. The accident was unavoidable for Tyson. He was knocked unconscious by the accident, dragged 40ft. and placed into a ditch by the drivers of the SUV. This left him with a Spinal Cord Injury and a complete paraplegic.
He has since had surgery which went successfully. He is now in Chicago, Illinois for rehabilitation and physical therapy. Currently working with his dad, Waylon, to learn how to stand again. They are developing a program to teach others what they have learned, "Stand Up 2 SCI".
His goals are to work through physical therapy, strength his body, get back on his bike, and make his way back to California to continue with his FMX career aspirations.
Unfortunately, the insurance company of the SUV driver wants to settle & claims Tyson is at fault so he would only get $10k but the airlift to the hospital alone cost $30k. If you would like to help with his medical/rehab expenses please feel free to donate on his GoFundMe page or buy some merch in his store.
