Carey Hart is one of the most recognized names in all of freestyle motocross. By the time he entered his first local race as an amateur, he was hooked and by high school graduation, Carey Hart was a professional motocross rider, racing the AMA Supercross circuit.
Carey soon grew bored with Supercross and started riding with a group of guys who were interested in a more creative and expressive form of motocross. In 1998, the freestyle motocross movement was born with Carey leading the way. From the sport’s inception, Carey has been one of the most innovative riders in the sport. He is the inventor of the Hart Attack, and at the 2000 Gravity Games, Carey made history as the first rider ever to complete a back flip on a 250cc motorcycle. The stunt got the world’s attention; it was even featured on Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
He has been featured in nationwide ad campaigns for Ford and Mountain Dew as well as in such print publications such as Paper Magazine, Teen People, EXPN The Magazine, Rolling Stone and has graced the covers of numerous motocross magazines. Carey has also starred on The Late Show with David Letterman, appeared on The Today Show and has starred in ESPN/Touchstone Pictures’ IMAX film, "Ultimate X," and has cameo appearances in "XXX" and "Charlie’s Angels II" and in the reality show "The Surreal Life."
In 2004 Carey’s passion for tattoos turned into a business venture. Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company opened its doors in the prestigious Palms Casino, Las Vegas. This move lead to another TV opportunity for Carey when the A&E network decided to follow him and the workings of the shop in their own reality show: "Inked." Since then, three more Hart and Huntington Tattoo shops have opened. Carey also expanded the brand, making a quality clothing line based on the designs of the talented artists that work at Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company.
Carey funds one of the most popular and lifestyle-driven privateer teams to hit Supercross. In 2011, Carey welcomed a new title sponsor Dodge Motorsports, who entered the Supercross space for the first time. Carey has taken his team to a whole new level for the 2012 Supercross season by doubling its size of talented riders at a time when most teams are down scaling.
