Meet Xavier

My name is Xavier. I am 17 years old and live in Sacramento, California. I'm a senior in high school this year and have raced BMX for the last 6 years. In addition to BMX, I also ride street, urban, vert and dirt jumps.

I ride my bike to and from school and the track and last week, I road my bike all the way to Auburn to the dirt jumps. It was a long ride, but way cool...it took me 2 ½ hours to get there. Luckily, I got a ride home from my friend Matt, who rides mountain bikes. Like Matt, all my bro’s ride bikes almost every day. We practice a lot and get to travel all over the state and sometimes to Nevada to different BMX races.

Besides BMX racing, I also participate in a bike demo team that goes out to schools to talk to students about not doing drugs, alcohol or tobacco. I like it when other students look up to me because I don’t do that stuff.  It doesn’t help me ride better. Plus, I get props from my parents.

I try to eat good stuff not so much fast food. I even drink lots of water. My team manager tells me to drink more Gatorade so I don’t get dehydrated, which is easy to do when you ride so much. I like the fruit punch flavor the best. For snacks, I usually eat a lot of sunflower seeds, like almost a bag a day. It’s a quick and healthy way to keep my energy up.
