In 2014, he focused more on mountain biking, and rode the FMB World Tour as a rookie. In the 2015 season, he placed second at Crankworx Rotorua and Crankworx Whistler and became the first rider ever to win both the Best Trick Competition and the main event at Vienna Air King in Vienna, Austria. ^[1] Nicholi pulled the World's First Cashroll on a Downhill bike. In 2016 Rogatkin did a new trick and named it the Twister.^[2] The "Twister" is best described as a 1080 front flip, or a front cork 1080. Rogatkin finished 2016 season in First Place in the Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour Diamond Series and First Place in FISE World Series. In 2017 Rogatkin added another rotation to his own Twister (1080) and landed 1440 while competing at District Ride In Nuremberg, Germany.

On August 18, 2018, Nicholi was the first to win the “Triple Crown” of Crankworx Slopestyle after winning at Innsbruck, Austria, Les Gets, France, and Whistler in British Columbia.
