Bio:
After finding success early in other riding genres, Allan Cooke is now one of the few BMX riders to innovate on the MegaRamp, taking his skills to the ramp’s 60-foot gap and 21-plus foot quarterpipe. He started the Local Exposure Tour, an annual bus tour that visits small towns nationwide and gives kids the chance to ride with some of BMX’s top pros. Originally a California boy, he has transplanted to the east coast bike mecca of Greenville, NC.
