Drew Bezanson

A multiple-time Simple Session champion and X Games medalist, Canadian Drew Bezanson is one of the top BMX park riders in the world. Growing up in Truro, Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada meant long winters and seclusion from the rest of the BMX world for Drew Bezanson, but persistence and a genuine passion for riding to the best of his ability has certainly paid off. Drew is a natural on a BMX and probably spends more time on his bike than off. Among the many crown jewels in his trophy case are the 2010 and 2012 Transworld BMX NORA Cups for Ramp Rider of the year. Since his breakout year in 2010, Drew has become renowned as one of the top BMX park riders in the world. Since 2011 it's been quicker to tell you when he hasn't been Simple Session champion and he's won several editions of the Baltic Games in Gdansk in typical flamboyant style. Drew's all about sharing and collaborating too; he invited his elite BMX buds to come up to Toronto for a training session at the Joyride 150 bike park for the Red Bull Air Awareness Camp. The camp combined practising crazy new tricks with a vigorous training regime to help the riders achieve peak physical condition for the year ahead. Drew's success has seen him steadily conquering the international stage; a solid performance at the X Games in Barcelona in 2013 saw him take sixth place, just behind Daniel Dhers, and a fifth place in Munich. Drew has also claimed the gold medal at Red Bull Framed Reactions in Amsterdam. 2014 afforded him a silver medal at the Austin X Games and 2015 the Simple Session title yet again, along with plenty of acclaim for his Uncontainable project. In 2016, Drew turned his hand to MTB slopestyle in a quest to claim a spot at Red Bull Joyride. Although he fell just short of achieving that goal, he proved his natural talent on any size or shape of bike and won a load of new fans in the process.
