Carey Hart was born on July 17, 1975 in Seal Beach, California and grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hart is one of the most recognized names in all of freestyle Motocross. His father bought him his first motocross bike when he was only four years old in hopes of spending some quality time with his son.
Soon thereafter, Carey 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 etched his name in the record books as the first rider ever to complete a back flip on a 250cc motorcycle.

You can catch Carey Hart in action right now in the action sports movie, Ultimate X and at the 2002 X Games on August 19, 2002. You can also see him on tour as part of the action-packed lineup in Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huckjam which kicked off on October 9, 2002.
After sustaining injuries which required extensive rest in 2004, Hart again found non-motocross activities to fill his time. In 2005, he joined the cast of season five of the VH1 reality show, The Surreal Life. The show mixes a variety of has-been and minor celebrities together in a house in Los Angeles. They are taped while completing tasks which sometimes highlight tensions between them. Hart shared the home with actor Bronson Pinchot, former super-model Janice Dickinson, Apprentice competitor Oma-rosa Manigault Stallworth, and disgraced baseball player Jose Conseco. Hart was considered relatively normal on the show.
