An Aussie who's been fighting up through the ranks of pro park competition since 2008, Andy put himself on the map by landing a double frontflip in Feb. 2010, only the second BMX rider to do so. Armed with unique moves like handplant backflips and multiple downside tailwhip variations, he takes a technical approach but still lets big flairs and frontflips fly whenever he can. He makes his XG debut in 2010 in Big Air, where he hopes to add no-hander and superman variations to the first-ever double frontflip landed by Anthony Napolitan at XG '09.

Following a spleen rupture, Andy Buckworth is discharged from a N.C. hospital.
