Before freestyle, motocross was Dustin Miller’s passion as he chased the dream of becoming a factory rider. He even qualified for some professional motocross nationals, but he soon shifted his focus to freestyle, which he hit head-on.
Since his induction into freestyle, Dustin has become one of the most successful riders the sport has seen. From the Vans Triple Crown to the X Games, Dustin has done it all. He currently has 36 IFMA wins, a 2001 IFMA Championship, and a silver medal in the 2001 X Games Big Air competition, among others.
But even with his impressive resume, Dustin feels last year was one of his best to date. “I think 2005 has been my most successful year, as far as the variety of events I have done well at,” he says. “I got a bronze medal at Winter X Games, won the Ride to the Hills event, third place at LG action sports championships, and recently won the RIOT natural-terrain contest put on by MXI out in Caineville, Utah.”
What can we expect from Dustin in 2006? “This isn’t really a goal for ‘06 specifically, but I would like to win the Summer X Games at some point in my career.”
