How long have you been riding bmx?
Ryan: I started riding bikes at age 2 but began riding freestyle bmx at age 7.

Who did you look up to when you started riding?
Ryan: At the beginning I looked up to some of my friends like Nick Tarrant, Alden Volle, Dalton Murphy and Bryce Tryon but then I met some pros like Kris Fox, Matt Cordova, and Dennis Enarson. These are the people I looked up to and Inspired me the most.

Name three tricks you can do?
Ryan: Three tricks I can do are backflips, 3ET and toothpicks.

Do you think it's a cool idea to do a tour for kids?
Ryan: This tour is awesome for kids because we get to ride with our friends and meet new people. We

'll be riding public parks and spots we've never ridden like the Pro's backyards.

Is this your first tour?
Ryan: Yes this is my first tour. I live in northern California and the stops are in So. Cal so I'm really looking forward to it. I've never had an opportunity like this and I'm very thankful to be part of it.

What stop are you looking forward to the most?
Ryan: I'm looking forward to all the stops because I've never ridden any of these spots. But I guess I'm most looking forward to riding the Pro's backyards.

Which pro rider would you like to meet?
Ryan: I've met Dennis Enarson but I'm really looking forward to seeing and riding with him again.

Do I think he's going to show up this weekend?
Ryan: I hope so… I know he lives in San Diego so there's a good chance he will show up.

Thanks to: I would like to thank Dustin Grice and all the Pro's and Sponsors for holding this event. I would also like to thank my Mom and Dad, Sunday Bikes and FDV Clothing.
