Bio
Levi was introduced to motorbikes not long after he was introduced to the world in 1991. His father, Dave Sherwood, was a professional motorcycle speedway racer and it was natural for Levi to follow in his father’s dust tracks. However, after eighteen years of going round in circles Levi moved in to motocross where it looked like he might settle.
Settling, though, is not in this rider’s blood and he soon realised that pulling tricks, huge jumps and wowing the crowds was much more his thing. Levi made a move to the world of FMX stunt riding and never looked back... or down.
After huge success and some hair-raising moments performing in his native New Zealand, Levi needed an international debut. The Red Bull X-Fighters in Mexico City provided that chance.
At his first international, the fearless rider triumphed from the very beginning and proved that he wasn’t there to simply mess about - by winning the main event on a wildcard! This secured an official starting place at the Red Bull X-Fighters in Calgary and on the 2009 world tour. With a combination of outrageous tricks and superb performances throughout, Levi earned himself the reputation as a world class rider, as well as the nickname “Rubber Kid”.
