Dan Kruk Interview

April 25, 2013

BMX Dan Kruk

Ah… BMX Dan. This is one kid I met a few years back and I’ve watched develop from a pretty quiet kid who was pretty good on a bike to a full blown man child that can toss the bars like the best and isn’t scared to send it on anything you put in front of him. There are a lot of stories that come to mind when I think about different times I’ve crossed paths with Dan. Some of the stories are pretty hilarious and probably not ideal to share in an intro. All I’ll say is he has definitely taken his fair amount of shit from some of the finest in the Midwest which has molded him into the kid he is today. After joining the knee club and making a full recovery and getting a ton of travel time in, Dan was bumped up to the Madera flow team last week. We figured it was time to get to introduce this up and comer from the Milwaukee scene to you guys. Let’s take a look at what he had to say.

Ryan Nyquist has been on fire with the web game lately. Alli Sports caught up with him for their latest episode of The Alli Show where Ryan takes you to some spots he grew up riding, his house setup and Woodward West. I don’t think I’ve seen Ryan do that many supermans in ages, haha. Either way, this is pretty awesome. Take a look!

“Ryan Nyquist is a BMX legend and has earned his place over time as the king of dirt, ramps and anything for that matter on BMX. Ride with Ryan back to where he first learned to backflip at the Calabazas Dirt Park in San Jose, then trip with him to Woodward West and watch him step up to the MegaRamp for a new first in backflips. Learn the story of Ryan Nyquist from his BMX roots, his family life and his fuel for progression in The Alli Show.“
