Pablo Nunez





The Bronx is a place where you find the wild, wild dudes, bugged out stories and, you guessed it, wild BMX riders. Pablo falls under that category.  This kid rides at a pro level managing to perfect super tech tricks and flow through a skatepark like he's been on it for years.  His talent is uncanny.  You gotta question yourself the first couple of times you watch Pablo ride his bike.  You'll be stuck on his style and how determined he is when he's going in.

He barely turned 17 and Black Rob got him od'in at Mullalys.  He created a monster.  I ran into Pablo at Mullaly Skatepark in the Bronx earlier this year and got to witness first hand what he was capable of. I thought I was watching a live video game; he's that good.  Aside from being exceptionally talented, he's a very personable young guy. He also goes to school full-time and enjoys working on car engines in his spare time.

Pablo Nunez is definitely going places in this industry, I'll put money on that all day.  Who wants to know about Pablo Nunez?  Well, read on and let's see what he has to say.
