Edgerton stunt cyclist to perform at Los Angeles X-Games
Posted on July 27, 2010
Eight years ago, Edgerton stunt motorcyclist Ryan Suchanek started practicing wheelies, burnouts and other tricks in local parking lots.
At the time, Suchanek told people he planned to take his chosen hobby, sport bike freestyle riding, all the way to the World Series of extreme sports: the X Games.
That was before he lost part of his leg in a collision with a car and had to learn to ride a 400-pound street bike using a prosthetic leg.
This week, Suchanek, 29, is making good on old plans. He’s headed to Los Angeles, Calif., to take part in the 2010 Summer X Games.
Thursday at the X Games, while world famous skateboarders and BMX bicyclists compete in venues throughout downtown L.A., Suchanek will perform in a sport bike freestyle exhibition.
