In our conversation with Nina we discussed her recent post on Instagram announcing the boycott of this years X Games and discussed the importance of a women’s BMX park medal event, what X Games officials told her in response as to why there would be no contest for the women, details of some of the past demos the BMX women put on at X Games, putting in hard work behind the scenes to make other women’s events possible, being a part of Team USA, being the voice of a women’s BMX movement, her favorite type of riding, suffering a compound fracture at a recent contest in Germany, and what it’s like being a woman in a sport, made up of mostly men. So get comfortable, crank up your speakers, and get to know… Nina Buitrago.â €
