Yesterday, Bestwick was on-site at the X Games with its sponsor Fruit of the Loom, and he showed off his new Breathable underwear line, which helps him keep cool all day long. “Being a long-time athlete, I had a good relationship with them. Being in Austin, Texas, competing in the X Games this year with all this year, it goes hand in hand, with this underwear line,” he said. “Yesterday was great for me to test out the product, and to develop great relationships with athletes. They did a great job. At the end of the day, we all wear underwear.”
At the X Games, he was by the Fruit of the Loom breathable wind tunnel, where fans had the opportunity to participate in flight in the wind tunnel. “Today, I got to hang out with the fans,” he said.
His plans for the future are to continue partaking in all the fun activities at the X Games, and he will pack his breathable underwear for 10 days, where he will go from California to Illinois.
One of his proudest moments was winning the gold medal this year. This was very rewarding for him, since last year he took home the silver medal. “Winning gold was the icing on the cake,” he said. “Everybody is on a high.”
Bestwick is motivated each day by the “X Games.” “I enjoy getting on my bike everyday and setting a great example for the fans. I want to set the bar high and to be an ambassador,” he said.
He concluded by taking about the importance of social media, and by defining success. “Social media is a great tool right now, and I’m using Facebook and Instagram to stay connected with the fans,” he said. “Success is hard work. Hard work pays off. Work hard every day on every aspect of your life,” he said.
