BMX & YouTube Influencer

About Tanner Fox

In 2017, Tanner Fox dropped a viral 12-minute BMX edit filmed entirely on GoPro Hero5s mounted to his helmet and bike, no crew, no permits, just raw street riding across abandoned LA lots and storm drains. That video didn’t just rack up 8 million views; it redefined how action-sports creators approached authenticity, favoring gritty continuity over polished cuts. Unlike most influencers who chase trends, Fox built his brand on technical precision: he’s one of only three riders ever to land the ‘triple tailwhip to fakie’ in competition, and did it twice at X Games Minneapolis. His YouTube channel isn’t about gear reviews or vlogs; it’s a documented archive of progression, frame-by-frame breakdowns of rail grinds, slow-mo crash analyses, and candid talks with local shop owners who shaped his early years in San Diego. He doesn’t teach tricks, he teaches decision-making mid-air, weight distribution at 28 mph, and why concrete texture matters more than frame geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Tanner Fox compete in X Games, and what medals did he win?
Yes—he competed in X Games Minneapolis 2017, 2018, and 2019 in BMX Street. He earned bronze in 2017 and silver in 2018, both for runs featuring original rail combinations and manual-heavy transitions rarely seen in contest formats. His 2019 run included the first-ever double peg grind on a curved steel pipe, which judges cited as 'redefining spatial awareness in street lines.'
What BMX company does Tanner Fox ride for, and has he designed signature parts?
Fox has been with Cult Crew since 2015 and co-designed the 2021 Cult 'Tanner' stem—featuring a proprietary 45-degree rise angle optimized for manual balance and bar spin recovery. He also helped develop the 2023 Cult 'Drain' tire, modeled after tread patterns from LA storm drain surfaces he frequently rides.
How did Tanner Fox learn filmmaking without formal training?
He taught himself by reverse-engineering edits from early Ride Channel videos, then spent 2014–2016 shooting every session on dual GoPros synced via audio claps. His breakthrough came from building custom 3D-printed mounts that stabilized footage during high-speed manual combos—a technique now used by several pro riders’ filmer teams.
Has Tanner Fox influenced BMX curriculum in any schools or programs?
Yes—in 2022, he partnered with the San Diego Unified School District to co-develop the 'Ride & Reason' elective, integrating physics (angular momentum, friction coefficients) and media literacy (framing bias in action sports coverage) into BMX skill labs. Over 1,200 students have taken the course across six campuses.
