Andy Buckworth is a world-class BMX athlete known for his fearless riding style, gravity-defying tricks, and relentless work ethic. Originally from Lake Haven, Australia, Andy was inspired to start riding after watching a BMX video as a kid and he hasn’t looked back since. Now based in Menifee, CA, he spends his days perfecting his craft on backyard ramps and pushing the limits of what’s possible on two wheels. With over 20 years of riding under his belt, Andy’s resume is stacked: X Games bronze medalist, Dew Cup competitor, ten-year veteran of Nitro Circus, and multiple-time podium finisher at the BMX Triple Challenge. He’s known for high-risk tricks like the no-hand double front flip and his personal favorite, the flip bar no-hander, a move that gives him a rush every single time. Even after recovering from breaking both legs at once, Andy has never stopped chasing progression and is laser-focused on landing that elusive X Games gold.
