Brandon
Meadows
-2003 X-Games Downhill Champion
Intense
BMX / Socko Energy
To
ride the X-Games BMX track is one thing, but to go as fast as possible
on it is a whole different animal. Brandon Meadows wont say he has No
Fear, but when you watched him attack the 2003 X-Games BMX Downhill
course, it left you on pins and needles as you saw how fast he rode,
yet dropped your jaw as you witnessed how smooth and comfortable he
looked on the course.
After
winning the first X-Games in 2001, Brandon was destine to become the
next household name in BMX, but injuries kept him away from the sport
that he loves so much. When he returned in late 2002, it was apparent
that the injuries would not hold him back, as he was quickly back in
the AA Pro mix and in the mains.
Brandon
Meadows is the top dawg in the BMX downhill race format at the X-Games.
After 3 years, and 2 wins, Brandon seems to have it down. But don't
let the X-Games results fool you, as he is super fast on a regular BMX
track as well. With making the main at the 2003 UCI Worlds will tell
you, he can go as fast on a flat track as he can on a downhill one.
With plenty of fans and the great support from Specialized for 2004,
Brandon will be a force to be reckoned with on the track and at the
trails.
Recently,
Brandon had another major setback with a bad crash at the 2005 NBL Christmas
Classic. Brandon went down and broke his Femur once again. He is currently
in rehab and getting back on track. Brandon has fully recovered, has
a new sponsor, and looks to get back to the top of the Podium this season.
