How did a small town in the middle of nowhere become one of the most important places in the world for BMX?
Greenville, North Carolina appears to be a typical small town, but over the past 15 years it’s become Mecca for competitive BMX. With 34 professional riders, 21 X Games gold medals, and countless other contest wins, Greenville has produced more top BMX-talent than any city in the world. All in a remote town tucked away on the East Coast.
“Pro Town: Greenville” completely illustrates what makes Greenville tick. From the arrival of BMX icon Dave Mirra in 1994, the movie describes how the town grew into a BMX powerhouse. The 45-minute movie is packed with incredible footage and photographs (both current and archival), plus revealing interviews with Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist, Colin Mackay, Ryan Guettler, Rob Darden, Allan Cooke, Josh Harrington, and many more.
