RYAN NYQUIST: I'm Afraid of Heights | World of X Games

With the exception of a few vert riders, most of the mid-school BMX professionals from the 1990s and early 2000s have moved on from X Games competition. Not Ryan Nyquist though. Ryan started competing at X Games in 1997 and still gets invited. He's not getting invites based on legacy either; he's still progressing his skills on BMX Dirt and Park at a remarkable pace. Despite the everyday demands of family life at age 41, Nyquist manages to make riding a daily priority, and he's expanded his skills to incorporate some of the world's toughest lip trick combinations into his riding. Normally, most riders would be happy with a simple x-up over a box jump at age 41, but Ryan Nyquist isn't done with his endless trick list just yet. Here, Brando catches up with Nyquist from the desert...

Thanks to Haro Bikes for helping to making this happen! Did you know that Ryan has been reppin' Haro since 1997? That's career longevity!
