The Nigel Sylvester Foundation presents the Pedal Forward Artist Bike Auction on Joopiter, uniting art and purpose to empower youth through cycling. Featuring four one-of-a-kind bikes transformed by Futura, McFlyy, Chelsea B (with Arte Haus), and Sue Tsai, each piece is both a functional object and cultural statement.
In 2021, Nigel Sylvester, the visionary athlete who has extended his career far beyond traditional BMX, established the Nigel Sylvester Foundation with a mission to use biking as a catalyst for positive change. “The Pedal Forward auction is a culmination of art, community, and purpose," said Nigel Sylvester. "Each bike represents a unique journey, and we are so grateful to the artists who contributed their talent to this cause. Their support will allow us to continue providing young people with the tools to navigate life's challenges and discover the power of the bike.”
Net proceeds benefit Switching Gears, the Foundation’s six-week program teaching biking fundamentals while promoting mental and physical wellness among middle and high school students.
"this is the first time I have ever hand painted a BMX frame, and initially wanted to go with an OLIVE colorway to align with the BIKE drop, but I decided to go cosmic and futuristic with the galactic overspray.
thank you, NIGEL, for asking me to work with you on this super project. I’ll be very excited to see someone rolling thru the hood in some fantasy fashion on a ONE OF ONE or that SYLVESTER meets TWEETY."
