World Champion BMX dirt jumper TJ Lavin tells how taking the lead in one of the world's fastest growing action sports gave him the courage to accomplish more than he ever imagined in this documentary that gives testament to the power of courage, and the inspiration that comes with the spirit of adventure. A Las Vegas native who made his first jump at age fifteen and went pro four years later, Lavin was crowned the King of Dirt upon winning his first professional contest in 1995. In the years that followed, Lavin would win two golf medals at the ESPN X-Games and take numerous other top prizes before becoming a feature commentator for ESPN, Fox Sports Net, and MTV. Now, with years of experience under his wheels and the courage to tackle any obstacle placed in his path, Lavin tells just how earning the title King of Dirt turned his entire life around.
