BMX icon Ryan Nyquist is pushing the mountain bike to the side and going all in on a quest to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games. Dive into his brain and prepare for the Nyquist show!
In his latest edit for Haro BMX, Ryan Nyquist brings his signature style and bottomless bag of tricks to ramps, jumps, boxes and bowls throughout California to session everything in sight! Sit back, relax, hit play, and enjoy!
Ryan Nyquist recently re-relocated to his adopted home of North Carolina, which also happens to be home to his private skatepark - The Unit. Watch as Ryan rides the place like only the man with the keys can. Timeless!
Call him the veteran, or just the most experienced rider out there. But never count him out. The BMX legend continues to ride because he loves it and because he knows he still has it. 2017 is in the books. Bring on 2018.

Ryan Nyquist: A lot. Maybe 100-150. That’s a lot for me.
What was the best event you went to this year that gets your vote?
Ryan Nyquist: The Vans BMX Pro Cup in Australia was so rad! The vibe and the crowd were amazing!

VANS BMX PRO CUP - AUSTRALIA Todays vans contest in manly Australia went off !!! Off the wall... This was one hell of a contest, bowl comp right on the beach. What more could any one ask for. Here is my high lights from today.
The rain finally stopped so I went out for a quick ride at The Funspot in Santa Cruz! Things were going soooo good until my seat post literally snapped. OUCH!
Spend the day with Ryan Nyquist at Simple Session as he battles through qualifying rounds, and as Daniel Dhers battles with the proper way to use the bathroom.
