Steve Wagner
started riding Freestyle Motocross over a decade ago in the spring of
1998. He started off with basic
tricks and through the course of the next year he progressed to
doing many of the tricks he saw riders doing in videos such as heel
clickers, nothings, and no footed can cans. By the summer of 1999 he
had began riding in monster truck shows and local fairs. In July 2002
he badly broke both his legs during a halftime contest at a local
arenacross, putting an end to what had been a year full of
progression. Down but not out, he quickly resumed riding and worked
to advance his FMX obsession, setting his sights to ride on the
professional level in the winter of 2003. Since turning pro he has
ridden in numerous freeriding contests
and exhibitions. In 2005 he ranked
third overall in the IFMA Ramp to Ramp points, winning 10 events. In
addition to riding FMX and making Freestyle
Motocross Videos, he has also written articles for Moto
Playground Magazine,
Midwest
Motocross Illustrated,
and Dirt Rider Magazine.
"Whenever I
go riding, I am riding for myself; riding to have fun. To me,
freestyle riding is fun. Going 30 feet in the air, hanging off a
200 pound
motorcycle and pulling yourself back on is arguably one of the
biggest rushes in the world. So when I ride, I freestyle."
