Profile... Leo Forte

Introduction...

As a younger sibling of Kye Forte, there was little chance that Leo would do little else than follow in his big brothers footsteps... and follow he did with devastating effect. This family of not 1, not 2, but 3 professional BMXing brothers really have made their mark on the International BMX stage.

For someone that does not consider himself a true contest rider, Leo has achieved notable success on the sport’s global stage, with his remarkably stylish and individual riding that almost defiantly leans toward self-expression and crowd satisfaction rather than judging criteria.

With magazine and video covers, advertising campaigns, catalogue shoots, and a pro-model BMX frame already to his name, Leo’s focus is now upon filming an inspirational video section. He’d admit there’s some way to go before equalling his brother’s prodigious achievements, but the rivalry is fascinating.

Career Highlights:
12th place, Nokia Worlds, Cologne.
9th place, Red Bull Empire of Dirt.
2 signature Leo Forte BMX frames.
Signature Forte brothers DC shoe.
