Seriously, the thought of even getting on a bike and riding it farther than a block leaves me hyperventilating, and watching [BMX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmx-athletes) pro rider Nigel Sylvester in this intense [Gatorade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gatorade-canada) video just terrifies me. Teaming together, Gatorade and Nigel Sylvester have released the first video in a series of three which are to showcase his unique life as a BMX rider.

According to [Hypebeast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypebeans-1), the videos show Nigel Sylvester's fast life--both when he's riding and when he's not. One of the best tricks in the video is when Sylvester weaves in between a walking couple.
