All about The Challenge: USA host T.J. Lavin

Born in 1976 in Las Vegas, Nevada, T.J. Lavin started riding bikes when he was just 15 years old. After years of practice, he became a professional at 19 and won almost every competition, including the X Game, where he won two gold, one silver, and three bronze medals, and the Dew Action Sports Tour.

Lavin is hailed as one of the greatest BMX riders of all time. He was crowned the "King of Dirt" in 1995. According to Las Vegas Weekly, he has a racetrack in his backyard that he uses to practice with friends.

Married to his longtime girlfriend Roxanne Sioridia, Lavin is also a musician. He taught himself how to play piano from a young age. He built a recording studio inside his home when he became financially able. He released a few singles, including Soldier, in 2008. Soldier was a tribute to his long-time friend Stephen Murray who crashed during the AST Dew Tour and suffered a serious spinal injury.

Two years later, in 2010, Lavin too suffered similar fate while competing in the Dew Tour event in Las Vegas. He crashed, and was rushed to the hospital where he was put into a medically-induced coma due to his injuries. He developed pneumonia shortly after but recovered completely a few days later.

Apart from hosting The Challenge franchise on MTV since its eleventh season, Lavin has also starred in A Monster Among Men and Viena and the Fantomes. He was also the subject of the movie A Film about T.J. Lavin.

Interestingly, Lavin even has a video game named after him, MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX.
