Competitor since: 1989

Notable:
A consistent but unspectacular FMXer, Parsons has competed in 7 XG/WX events prior to '03 but has never finished higher than 7th in any of them. Known for one of the sickest whips in the biz and a tendency to lose focus during Freestyle runs.

Quote:
On the flip: "I won't have it by X Games and I'm fine with that. Actually, I feel a lot better without the pressure of doing the flip. Before it was like, 'Can I learn it? Should I?' and now I know I won't. I'm pretty stoked for X now."
