One of the most well-rounded freestyle riders out there is Colorado’s Chris Denison. Chris began his motorcycling career at a very early age, when his father, who used to race professionally, pushed him down the driveway on a motorcycle. Since then, he has developed a deep passion for anything with two wheels and has progressed up through the ranks of amateur motocross. Chris then got into the freestyle movement in 2000 and has become a recognized name in the sport.
Chris is also an accomplished Eagle Scout and a graduate of Principa College in Illinois. Over the past few years he has changed his focus from freestyle motocross to being a career man: A longtime contributor to Transworld Motocross, he took a position with the magazine as an assistant editor. He then moved on to Dirt Rider and is now the editor of Mini Rider magazine.
