The XG rookie, 18, from Palmerston North, New Zealand, was actually slated to make an XG appearance in 2009 but had to drop a week before the contest because of right knee and left wrist injuries. Levi exploded onto the freestyle scene in March 2009 when he won X-Fighters Mexico City. Not only was it his first major freestyle contest, but he was also the youngest rider ever to win an X-Fighters event. Known for his flexibility and huge extension, Levi's style has caught the attention of the freestyle world. Fresh off another X-Fighters victory (Moscow, June), look for Sherwood to give the vets a run at XG.
