The consequences for failure in BMX are high.

New Zealand’s Sarah Walker knows about this – she’s broken 18 bones over her career.

A big crash meant... she missed out on Rio 2016 after her silver medal at London 2012.

She believes that failure should be reassessed.

“(Society sees) failure as such a bad word. It’s so negative and this thing that you need to avoid (but) I aim to fail every week.”

“Then if I have a bigger failure – I have practiced that feeling – and I am more comfortable with it and I am more accepting of the outcome.”
