Sean Sexton

Being comfortable in your own skin is uncommon in a society ruled by fakes and reality television, but Sean has never swayed from himself and his own unique style.

Power riding is a term that is thrown around these days, but Sean is unmistakable on his bike. Born in Arizona, he grew up around street legends who paved the way for him to take over. Today, Sean’s riding is a breath of fresh air in a cookie-cutter street riding culture.
