Rogatkin

At only five years old, he didn’t want to just ride a bike—he wanted to hit big jumps. Today, Nicholi Rogatkin is considered an extraordinary talent in freeride and slopestyle mountain biking. In Rogatkin, he looks back on the defining moments of his 20-year career so far: hard-fought wins, tough losses, time off to recover from injuries, and the constant pressure to perform at the highest level—not just because others expect it, but because he demands it of himself. But none of that has dampened his drive or creativity; Rogatkin loves what he does, and he has no plans to step away from the sport anytime soon.
