- ▶︎ BMX Rider Twan van Gendt changes direction completely in an attempt to reach his ultimate goal, becoming World Champion.
Twan van Gendt was just four-years-old when he got the BMX bug. All he wanted to do was get on his BMX and go dirt jumping. His mum eventually relented and he was soon racing around BMX tracks. This enthusiasm stayed with Twan into his teens and he’s always had one goal fuelling his ambition: to compete in the Olympics.
Twan achieved his aim at the age of 20, finishing fifth in London in 2012. He also won his first World Cup title at Abbotsford in Canada the same year, and further outlined his arrival among the BMX Racing elite with victory at Red Bull R.Evolution.
He struggled with injury after 2012, but was a consistent performer on the World Cup circuit in 2013, when he also became the Dutch national champion - a feat he's since repeated.
His ultimate dream is winning an Olympic gold medal, and he's already preparing for the biggest challenges of his career by scoring BMX Supercross World Cup podium finishes, including first place in Zolder 2017, when he ended the season ranked fourth in the world. He's determined to improve that ranking in the very near future.

What a moment even the competitors come and celebrate his win. All feel the joy of the succes
Dutch BMX seems to be in good hands. Bas de Bever was a savage back in the late 80ies & 90ies, one of the all-time greats.
Yes!!!! So glad this came to TH-cam!!! It will be a lot easier to share to friends for sure. This documentary by itself made me train harder, and inspired me to another degree!!!!! Thank you!!!
Yeah !!!!! Fantastic .
NEVER GIVE UP
Great video. Thanks for putting the effort into creating this piece of content for BMX racing
uur geleden met Twan getrained in Tiel, geweldig om hem in het echt te zien
@7:50 back in 92 my brother and I were racing ABA BMX and we were in the top 10 in CA-14 every year and in contention for NAG plates. We had a local welder build a roller, what Twan is raiding here. We used to play games like who could do the biggest bunny hop on it and stay on or who could generate enough pedal speed from a coast to hop off the roller. Or who could wheelie the longest. I think we also invented foot down at Orange YMCA out in the gravel parking lot. It's amazing seeing top pros today train the way we used to. I should've started a company to teach kids how to ride.
Great video but is nobody gonna talk about 15:16 in the video. That would of been devastating if he went down. How he saved it, I have no clue.
So clutch I think the same
very interesting to see that most of what the coach was helping him with was the psychology that goes with any high pressure competitive sport. You can be the fastest in the world, but only if you believe it for real as well.
Inspiring...!
I love this sport
That was a crazy final!
did you see that nose manual? huge save. that would of been a huge bummer.
Brian Knowles I did! He didn’t miss a beat!
Amazing video!
What a champ!!! 🏆
VERY VERY INSPIRATIONAL I HOPE TO BE LIKE HIM SOMEDAY 🤞🤘
That was one epic video.
Respect very nice documentere
Red bull is the BEST
What a nice video🙌🏻
Great video, thanks for sharing
great video
Is je allemaal gegund twan!
What tires was he running to keep grip on those turns? And yes incredible save.
Compounds of the tires aren't any different than a normal road bicycle, the the slope of the beams keeps you gripped to the berm
@@cameronmillerbmxski3360 ahhh I race and sloop of the beam does not keep you up their all the time my micro knobby will slip when wet and Tioga don't hold me in the dirt.
💯%
😍😍😍
Shortchangin bmx there sylvian 200 metre hurdles , it's much harder than that

I would love to see a mid skool racer race a new skool racer both on bmxs there use to would be a cool video
It would be hard to keep them in the same frame
Así como ponen subtitulos en inglés pongan también en español acá en Suramérica también los seguimos x eso ponga manita abajo
en castellano tampoco vas a entender bestia !!! SUDAMERICA*
@@muomusic_ ojalá estuviera en Colombia care chimba para que me dijera bestia de frente
This funny... Road bike racer's try so hard to keep themself super skinny. Half this vid is watch a hunk lift weights!!!
this is true, until you have a look at world champion road sprinters on a velodrome. Those guys are huge! BMX is mostly sprinting, so makes sense to have larger muscles for that :)
Why is the thumbnail a pumptrack 😂
it a corner not a pup track though considering a lot of BMX tracks at that level have tar corners its not hard for them to get one a thumbnail, even more so the track in zolder does have tar corners(even though that track is garbage seeing as more than half of the 8 riders crashed in the finals)
@@darkdragon213 But still there is a great difference between a racetrack corner and a pumptrack conrner
That is actually a pump track corner. It's the same concrete brand as the ones they use for the Red Bull pump track races. I could be wrong.
@@AaronKingslien yeah I think it's from velosolutions
This is what it looks like when jocks take over your sport. These are not bmx’ers, these are little bike racers in spandex. That’s what they should call this, little bike track racing.
I was thinking something similar, it doesn’t seem to be about the fun of racing your bike anymore, just about who’s put in the most gym time, everyone’s miserable lol. It’s an athletics event now.
F*** you
😭😭😭
With your thinking. I wish you would never be able to make any real decisions in the bmx racing world. It almost seems like you dont race bmx at any level past novice...
Racing bmx?? Lol
Normadic N why do you say “lol”
@@andrewhull4294 just think its overhyped. Like BMX just little bikes.
Knobhead
You should just stop. You couldn't even imagine how prisice these riders have to be to maneuver these "little bikes", around the track.
It is an olmypic sport
Is english really that hard?
Is being quite really that hard
English is probably one of the top 5 hardest languages to learn. Just think about it. Nothing in English makes any sense.
Twan speaks english great
