Resilience XS

with an optimal diet, an athlete will restore the resilience required for high performance. These movement techniques can also benefit most individuals.

- Resilience is the ability of the body and mind to bounce back and adapt to adversity.

- BMX and skateboard athletes express their sport as art by creatively combining their athleticism with the world around them as their canvas. The Laws of Physics propel them and their equipment in unique ways using the pallet of their environment to paint unique visions of their sport.

- The very nature of BMX and skateboarding requires and builds resilience of the mind, body and spirit by harnessing the key attributes needed of these extreme sports. Demonstrated by Professional BMX Freestyle Cyclists and Skateboarding Athletes.
