World of X Games – Ryan Nyquist “I’m Afraid of Heights”

The latest interview for the World of X Games interview sits down with Ryan Nyquist for just shy of an hour conversation where Ryan talks about a ton of different topics while sweating it out in him and his wifes hot yoga / cycling studio. Ryan is always super entertaining and has a ton of great stories, making for a super good listen with plenty of laughs. If you got the time, definitely get on the play button.

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…” – X Games
