Founder - Mykel Larrin

---

From humble beginnings, Mykel has paved a path as a professional BMX athlete maintaining a top tier global ranking for more than a decade through freestyle competitions. Interwoven with competing, he has dedicated time giving back to the U.S. military traveling overseas for BMX stunt shows with Bikes Over Baghdad and Vans shoe company. In addition, he has reserved space for suicide prevention advocacy for nearly 12 years.

Outside of riding, Mykel has pursued motivational speaking having the privilege of serving organizations like NASA sharing his testimony to strengthen team unity and amplify resilience. As a world traveler, he has understood the importance of building character as he immersed himself into different cultures, environments and moments that called for more of him. 

This variety of experiences paired with his desire to see people achieve their best has now anchored him into launching a new movement that will unlock potential at the highest level to impact change.
