Tyler Bereman

A former supercross racer turned freerider, American Tyler Bereman is pushing the boundaries of going big on a dirt bike. When Tyler Bereman was eight-years-old, he was so dedicated to grace and style on a motocross bike that he didn't just hang a Jeremy McGrath poster in his bedroom, he had the seven-time supercross champion painted on the walls. It wasn't McGrath's racetrack success that most inspired Bereman; it was the fun he had riding motorcycles away from competition, sending it in the canyons and dunes of California, which Bereman absorbed while watching video parts and reading magazines. From a humble central California upbringing, in a household where flat track racing was a generational affair, Tyler was always able to coerce his dad into letting him go find jumps on their regular trail rides. Randy Bereman was happy to oblige, and when Tyler started racing motocross at 10, all he wanted to do was jump. He accelerated quickly, winning an AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship in 2010. Bereman has a magnetic personality, a positive attitude and the confidence to walk up and talk to (or write to) anyone. When he was a teenager, he sent handwritten notes to companies asking for support. It worked, and when he met company representatives at the races, he won them over again with his charm. Many of those brands still support him. Today, Bereman is known for hucking heart-stopping hits around the world, and his ability to bend a dirt bike in the air. He's won prestigious Best Whip contests, a handful of X Games medals and has landed many prominent video parts. Yet, he's proven he's not just a 'big hits' freerider, who only shows up at the hot spots. He'll pop up at events like the Hill Billy Huckfest in Norway (mountain biking) or a Hooligan flat track race, the Mammoth Mountain Motocross or a vintage dirt bike race. He's even broken into the stunt performance industry with his role in an episode of Fox's Lethal Weapon TV series, where he rode a motorcycle into a casino (through a plate glass window) across a row of card tables and stole US$1,000,000 in cash. His character's day may have ended in a gun battle on a beach, but Bereman used that experience to launch a new career in stunt work and he's already earned his SAG card. While he still regularly competes - most recently achieving a pair of bronze medals at the 2021 X Games - Tyler's ultimate goal is to combine his imagination with his love for riding.
