Kindness
BMX Champion Brings Anti-bullying Message and Tricks to Cross Creek
NHA Communications Team
BMX champion Matt Wilhelm gave students at Cross Creek Charter Academy words of encouragement while performing tricks he has described as “breakdancing on a bike.”
Along with telling his story of how being bullied as a kid led to him becoming a national champion, Wilhelm performed award-winning BMX tricks recently at an assembly for Cross Creek scholars. Wilhelm holds a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records for the most tail whips, is a three-time X Games medalist and two-time U.S. national champion and has performed on “America’s Got Talent.”
After grabbing their attention, students heard from Wilhelm on how he persevered and the kindness, positivity, and the difference a person can make.
