Ryan Nyquist
Ryan began riding as a kid in California and turned professional in the mid-1990s. Over the decades that followed, he became known for technical consistency, huge trick combinations and the ability to compete across BMX park, dirt and other disciplines.
His career includes multiple X Games victories, major contest wins, the 2004 ESPY Award for Best Action Sports Athlete and decades of competition at the highest level.
Ryan later expanded into freeride and slopestyle mountain biking, bringing the same creative riding style into another discipline. His influence eventually moved beyond competition as he helped guide the next generation of BMX freestyle athletes on the Olympic stage.
Built on Progression
Ryan's career has never been defined by one event or one style of
riding. From dirt to park, BMX to mountain bikes, his longevity has
come from constantly finding another way to progress.
Known throughout his career for technical barspin combinations,
consistency under pressure and an unmistakable riding style, Ryan
became part of a generation that helped push BMX freestyle into the
mainstream while continuing to evolve with the sport.
