When your dad is a former motocross racer himself, your destiny will more than likely involve something with two wheels. Just ask Allan Cooke, who, at the ripe old age of two, learned how to ride a bike. Cooke and his brother, Aaron, quickly progressed and started riding dirt jumps in their backyard.

After going pro, Cooke began competing in both park and dirt – and excelling in each. A consistent top 10 finisher, the highlight of Cooke’s career came in 2002, when he claimed silver at the Gravity Games as well as the gold medal in the dirt competition at X Games.

Since then, Cooke has continued to soar to new heights, literally. Completing a 54.5 foot ramp-to-ramp loop in 2003, Cooke held the world record for the biggest backflip from then until 2005.

Threatening to retire from the competition circuit if he didn’t make the BMX park finals at the last stop of the 2009 Dew Tour, Cooke scraped out ninth place in the prelims to qualify for his first final of the season, where he took 10th. Guess this means he’ll still be around for a few more years.
