At
10, Keelan got his first proper bike and slowly began to drift away from racing
into the world of street BMX.
In
2003, Keelan won his first group 'B' contest and moved up into the pro class.
The following year, he won his first UK pro contest.
In
2006, he reached the pinnacle of the sport by winning his first international
pro event in France.
There,
he surprised the entire field by taking first in the semis and again in the
final, all in the face of very strong competition from the top guys in the
world.
From
there, Keelan has gone from strength to strength taking victory in a multitude
of international and national competitions from Hungary to USA, and placing
highly in just about any and every competition he enters.
But
for Keelan, it's about more than just winning competitions. He has invented
over 10 moves!
He’s
also busting out the old ones with huge style and grunt. One of his signature
moves is the 'no-handed nose wheelie'. 'It's nothing like what's been done
before’, and adding, 'and then I did it with one foot too.'
Keelan
takes his riding very seriously. When off his bike, he trains hard with free
weights to keep up his fitness and strength.
Keelan
now performs all over the world at all different kinds of events for the
biggest clients, and also runs his team of top BMX riders 'Style Bicycle' who
he performs and organises events with.
