Combining two of his passions, art and BMX, Ryan James creates a fresh line of T-shirts. Ryan grew up in the foothills of Southern California, racing and riding trails. "All the neighborhood kids had bikes. BMX is just what we did. We'd build jumps and see how many people and bikes (usually in that order) we could clear." "And I've always loved to draw. Ever since I can remember." Ryan said.
Now a graphic illustrator in North Carolina, Ryan launched Expo BMX Sportswear in late 2006.
“The company name ‘Expo’ is all about showing off what you’ve got. It seems to fit, both for the BMX riders and for the T-shirts they wear. Expo is one of the few brands that is only about BMX. (Not skate or surf.) Boardriding is cool, but we are BMXers and we like it that way.” Ryan said. This season there are two new original BMX designs: "Tattoo" which takes it's cue from bold skin art, and "Griffin" which is more intricate and decorative like a medieval coat of arms.
