One reason why Sylvester ‘ s inclusion in the Body Issue is a big deal other profile raising? Acknowledgement that he is infact an athlete with a particular skill who lords over his field. Plus: he’s the first BMX rider to be asked.

But, haters gonna hate.

wpid IMG 20130308 095020 RECAP: NIGEL SYLVESTER LAUNCHES NEW BLACK OUT G SHOCK WATCH IN NYC (PHOTOS)

Nigel Sylvester didn’t look like his usual self last night as he launched his Black Out, his second watch collaboration with G-Shock in two years, in NYC’s Meatpacking District. Sylvester, it occurred to me, is usually dressed casually in jeans and kicks, as if ready to ride. Last night the pro BMX champ, beloved on social media and on the streets, took it up a notch: he wore black velvet shoes, a leather jacket, a velvet bow tie and black drop-crotch trousers, a look he says has to do with his maturity as well as the color palette of his new watch.

 WATCH: NIGEL SILVESTER X GATORADE PERFECT MOMENT (VIDEO)

There’s no doubt Queens native Nigel Sylvester is a bike riding supersta’ maniac. In fact he may well be the best Pro BMX athlete to go All City on two wheels, riding railings and burning rubber on concrete. His skill is evidenced by the people he inspires (they check for him on Twitter and Instagram), the stunts he executes, and the humble way he carries himself on and off the ashphalt. And the best part of his fame? His fearlessness, skill, and watching videos like his latest with Gatorade.
