EPSN FMX put out a pretty cool interview on Osiris rider Wes Agee. We wanted to share what they had to say…

In the recent Metal Mulisha film “Black Friday,” 23-year-old Wes Agee backflipped a record distance of 190-feet on natural terrain, minus the help of a perfectly-sculpted manmade ramp. Agee credits these bike skills to his younger days on natural terrain, spending his formative years in the hills of Ocotillo Wells, Calif. Now a featured member of the Nucelar Cowboyz tour, Agee is focused on the tour at hand, but takes every chance he gets to head out to the local hill spot for a free ride session. In 2012, Agee plans to ride all of the major comps, and attempt a new long distance backflip record of 200+ feet. In between moving into a new house, I had a chance to catch up with Wes to discuss his 190ft. back flip and his plans for 2012.

ESPN.com: What have you been up to lately?
Agee: I’m currently on Nuclear Cowboyz for the next couple of months. Other than that I’ve just been freeriding, trying to have some fun on my dirt bike.

How is the Nuclear Cowboyz Tour going?
So far the tour is killer. There were a few good crashes during rehearsals but now it’s running smoothly and the show is awesome. I’m stoked to be a part of it, it’s a really good crew.

I know that tour has a pretty solid schedule of riding every weekend. Are you able to ride much during the week?
I try to ride as much as possible during the week when I’m home, but I just recently moved so I’ve been trying to unpack and get organized. But as soon as I’m done I’ll be back on the bike every day.
