Bruce Cook

I grew up in Kelowna, BC, riding dirt bikes, building jumps and generally making questionable decisions on anything with a motor.

I turned pro in 2005 and spent the next several years riding freestyle motocross shows across North America. In 2014, while attempting a double front flip with Nitro Circus, I broke my back and sustained a spinal cord injury that left me paralyzed from the waist down.

Nine months later, I was back on a modified dirt bike. A month after that, I became the first paraplegic to land a backflip on a motorcycle. I spent the next several years touring the world with Nitro Circus.

Since then, the bikes have turned into trucks, recoveries, builds and a whole lot of time spent off-road. These days, you’ll find me in the shop, behind the wheel, getting people unstuck and making videos with a crew that’s usually willing to go along with whatever bad idea comes next.

Thanks for being along for the ride.
