About Ryan

With 16 XG medals, 36 XG competition starts and 60 Dew Tour finals appearances (most all-time), Nyquist is simply one of the greatest and diversely skilled BMX riders ever. He hasn't won XG gold since doubling up in Park and Dirt in 2003, but the BMX Dirt and Park veteran remains relevant on the contest scene. He's also recently started competing in mountain bike slopestyle, but his first love is riding dirt. "I grew up riding dirt, and it's everything I love about riding. It's strictly jumping. You know exactly where you're going; you just fill in the tricks. I like the simplicity of it. It was my first love; it always holds a special place in my heart," says Nyquist.
