Bio:
Paul Basagoitia
United States
DOB:12/12/86
Sport:Freeride Mountain BikerPaul Basagoitia – or Paul Bass for those of us who can’t pronounce his last name – is somewhat of a mountain biking purist. Coming to us from Minden, NV, in the heart of mountain bike country, Paul is pushing for mountain biking to stay in the mountains so the unique aspects of the sport can shine. Of course, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy a good comp every now and then. He won the slopestyle event at Crankworx in Whistler in 2004 and 2005, and took home the top spot in the Teva Mountain Games slopestyle comp in 2009 and 2010. So yeah, guy’s got skills. And never were those skills more apparent than when he went out into the Utah desert and landed the first double backflip on natural terrain in history. And he did it with a minor concussion that he got on an earlier crash. Bad. Ass.
