X-Games flat gold medal.
A big win has eluded Trevor Meyer in recent months, so his solution was to get his shit together so good that there would be no doubt about who the best rider was, and he rocked the house for first place.
Interview for www.theflatlander.com, february 1999.
Trevor : I try to ride at least 5 hours. It depends, I'm on the road traveling and doing shows, I have a hard time, ah, trying to squeeze time into practice. When I'm home, at least try 5 to 8 hours, it all depends.
X-Games flat gold medal.
There was only one rider from the USA who made the cut and that was three time gold medal winner Trevor Meyer. Trevor's rear axle broke right before his final run. A quick pit stop wheel-change was made and Nathan Pononzek's wheel was the solution for the GT rider. However, the ever consistent Trevor had little difficulty during his runs. He still rode good but it wasn't good enough for first. Trevor was disappointed and mentioned he would never compete again.

X-Games flat 4th place.
Fourth place went to a disappointed Trevor Meyer. Trevor has been riding a direct-drive gear all year. The crowd seems to love the circus-style tricks. His second run was amazing but just one touch kept him out of the top three.
Trevor Meyer is in Raleigh, North Carolina for the winter, staying with Keith King.

Armin Batoumeni, www.agoride.com : Après avoir été tenté par les roues arrières à pignon fixe " circus style " Trevor Meyer s'est repris et reviens avec un vrai vélo de flatland traditionnel. C'est simple il fait tous les tricks de l'année dernière mais avec un freecoaster normal. La maîtrise !!!Une routine a se couper les c….Trevor ne pose pas un pied et fait une routine composée de steam roller kick flip, halfhiker kick flip, et pedaling deathtruck to no-handed gliding pedal deathtruck to deathtruck blender to pedaling dump truck to cross footed stick bitch to pervert. Bref on se demande encore pourquoi Trevor n'a pas finis deuxième. Après avoir été le boss des contests US pendant des années peut-être les juges veulent-ils voir de nouvelles têtes sur le podium.
Trevor stopped riding the unconventional direct-drive system and has returned to freecoaster.
Trevor, www.ridebmx.com : I had Ed (Nussbaum) at Sick Child make me a custom 21" frame with the dimensions that I like. He did an excellent job on it and I couldn't be happier with the bike!
Catching Up With Trevor Meyer on www.ridebmx.com, november 2003.
Trevor : Lately, I'm working on my video part for the next Aspire BMX video contest. I've also been doing some NBA half time shows and hanging out with my new girlfriend. My buddy has his own private skatepark, so I will be riding in there all winter long. The place rules! It even has a kitchen, big screen TV, fireplace, and plenty of couches for the girls to relax on and watch us ride! The winter months are usually pretty slow, so I have a lot of free time, but it picks up in the spring and summer. Last summer I toured with Brooks and Dunn for four months straight. That was probably the best tour I've ever been on and I would be happy to do it again. I always seem to find time to work on new stuff. Sometimes I'll practice new tricks between shows. It's really tough to learn new tricks that nobody is doing, but it pays off when you finally learn the trick and you get the credit for it.

Patrick Schoolen, www.pedalbmx.com, october 2004 : I talk to Trevor all the time and he is riding as much and as hard as ever. He is a little burnt out on contests but is doing a lot of shows to support himself. He mostly does shoes for the Giant team. Most importantly his riding hasnt slowed down at all.
