NZ Sporting History now and today we're talking to freestyle motocross legend Levi Sherwood.
Levi made his debut on the global stage in the Red Bull X-Fighters competition in 2009, where he surprised everyone by winning the first phase of the series.
At the ripe age of 17 he was the youngest to ever pull it off.
He returned to place first overall at the event in 2012 and 2017, and later won gold at the X Games and the Nitro World Games to top it off.
In 2017 he made history again, becoming the first rider to ever land a no-hands double backflip.
Levi talks to Jesse about his dare devil career and the injury that forced his retirement.
