While at Small Bore I had the fortune to sit down with one of my local Atl buddies and get to know him a bit better. Meet “Rowdy” Rodney Sargent! Rodney is a professional Street Freestyle athlete and performer based in Atlanta, Georgia. His passion for motorcycles began with a 1971 Honda CT70 Mini Trail, which he still owns, and has grown into a remarkable career. Moving to Atlanta in 1990, Rodney was captivated by the city's cultural diversity and soon found his calling in stunt riding. Since 2004, he has performed, competed, and made appearances at over 200 events across the United States, establishing himself as one of the top street freestyle entertainers in the country. Rodney owns the two-time Guinness World Record-holding team, Anger Management Street Extreme Entertainment, and the World Famous AM Stoppie School. Together, they have thrilled millions of fans at over 300 events worldwide, performing at some of the country’s largest motorsports venues, including XDL, Stuntwars, NHRA, and NASCAR. He holds Guinness World Records for the longest and fastest nose wheelies on a sport bike. Beyond his professional achievements, Rodney has faced personal challenges, including a battle with leukemia, which has given him the mental strength to overcome adversity. He is deeply involved in the motorcycle community, particularly the Honda Grom culture, known for its affordability, customizability, and large following in Atlanta. Rodney is also vocal about his concerns over aggressive law enforcement tactics towards motorcyclists and remains committed to pushing the underground sport of Streetbike Freestyle stuntriding into the mainstream in a positive direction.
