Rider Profile: Nick “Apex” Brocha

He says no one can beat his Grandma’s cherry pie, and that his motorcycle of choice is his 2004 Kawasaki 636. Freestyle phenom Nick “Apex” Brocha also says we’ll be seeing a lot more of him in 2011.

Nick is a member of the LeoVince family, and he’s kind of like that crazy cousin who you can always count on to do outrageous things at family reunions. For Nick, that means crazy stunts or going wheel-to-wheel against a car in a friendly drift battle.

Nick has done a lot of winning over the past five years, but he’s partial to the summer of 2008, when he won SuntWars and XDL rounds in a two-week stretch. He won the XDL National Championship that year, and his huge collection of first-place trophies include Individual Freestyle, Sickest Trick, Circle Challenge and Team Event categories.

This year, the Las Vegas boy promises he’ll be making more videos to keep us entertained when we should be working. It’s only fitting: Nick used to own his own production company. He was an avid rider, but didn’t care about freestyle riding. After producing two freestyle releases that went mainstream, Nick wanted in on the action, too. As he says, “I stopped being behind the camera so much and started riding more.”

Movie star aspirations aside, Nick’s travel schedule is as insane as always (a 30-hour drive for one event isn’t unusual for Nick), but for 2011 he’ll be doing more shows and less competing.

Whether he’s competing, riding in a show, or starring in the latest viral video online, Nick “Apex” Brocha is one to watch.
