There are many who would say that Steve McCann is the future of BMX. At 21, McCann has already accomplished what many riders ten years his senior have failed to achieve. McCann took first place in the Asian X Games in 2002 and first place in Dirt at the Australian X Games in 2000.

Steve began riding during his youth in Melbourne, Australia and went pro in 2000. In addition to his skills in dirt, McCann has also been known to compete in vert and street events. In fact, he lists vert as the style of riding other than dirt in which he would most like to compete. He would love to fly in a vert competition the way he does in dirt.

During the off-season, McCann summers in Woodward, Pennsylvania, teaching young riders the ropes of the sport. If he could compete in a non-bike sport, he would be a professional surfer or play football for the Australian Football League's North Melbourne. He also enjoys rap and rock music and spending time with his school friends.
