Hangin’ with Lavs – Ryan Mills

Leave a Comment

It’s pretty wild how peoples lives can take some serious twists and turns. Ryan Mills was a Pro rider that basically disappeared a few years ago and didn’t really hear anything about him. It turns out he ended up taking a trip down a road with drug addiction that basically destroyed his life. Ryan has been working his ass off to get his life back and has been sober for close to a year now, and he’s been willing to tell his story to hopefully help others that might be caught up in a bad situation. Ryan has been getting back into BMX to help him stay sober, which has been really beneficial for him. TJ Lavin had Ryan stop by to sit down and tell his story for the latest “Hangin’ with Lavs” interview. This is definitely an interview you’ll want to check out.

“Ryan Mills is one of the most talented street riders from Vegas. He’s been through the ringer due to a lot of bad decisions but he’s pulling himself out. Watch, listen, and learn… Honored to have this guy in the chair!“
