The Unclicked Podcast is back and this time around they have Ryan Nyquist on the show to talk about everything from the olympics to crazy sponsor deals, Dave Mirra and more! This is two hours of great stories, laughs and more! Too good to miss!
“Pick up the Unclicked / Traction Coffee collab! $5 from every bag goes toward paying travel expenses for a special guest—voted by you guys—to come do the show… Leave a comment with some suggestions.
Ryan Nyquist was in my house. Obviously you guys all realize that I love Nyquist. He’s the ultimate ambassador for BMX on pretty much every level annnnnd he’s factually just a good human. Ryan was in town to fulfill his duties as Freestyle BMX Olympic Coach, but squeezed some time to come hang out with Dennis and I. Two full hours blew by as we ran through some Olympic talk and venturing into Mirra/Golden days stuff. We really only scratched the surface with Nyquist, so expect a part two next time he’s in town…
