Josh Harrington

BMX

As one of the few pros able to excel as well in Park contests as on street riding missions, Josh Harrington is an accomplished all-around rider. He can blast ramp transitions and fire out complicated handrail combos in the same run. In contests, he’ll most likely be going higher than everyone else over a hip transfer and icepicking the biggest wall he can find. He does some of the biggest tricks in the business, and his 6’3’ frame makes them look even bigger. Harrington grew up in Greenville, NC, the town currently known as Pro Town, USA in the BMX world.
