Steve Wagner
started riding freestyle motocross 10 years ago in the spring of
1998. Starting off with smaller tricks, over 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. In
the summer of 1999 he began riding in smaller monster truck shows and
local fairs. In February of 2002 made the jump into riding
professionally, despite just recovering from two badly broken legs he
suffered in a crash while competing in a local FMX demo the previous
summer. 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 (double the win total of any other rider). In
addition to riding FMX and making FMX
Videos, he has also written freestyle and racing articles
for Moto
Playground Magazine ,
Midwest
Motocross Illustrated,
and Dirt Rider Magazine.
Steve is usually kept busy by working on ramps, shooting & editing freestyle
motocross and streetbike videos, as well as being a full
time freestyle rider. Steve's most recent article was for Dirt Rider
Magazine (March 2007 issue) about the rebuilding of his bike and
making the jump into riding again after his major car crash.

"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."
