A Word from Ryan Nyquist



A couple months ago (while filming JIT) we were at Milwaukee 4 Seasons skatepark, and Ryan Nyquist as well as a couple other pro BMXers and filmers were there, filming an edit for Osiris.  When we first walked in the guy at the counter told us he was in there but I didn't believe him until going into the actual park and seeing Ryan up top where the rhythm section starts.  Ryan has been somewhat of a hero for me even since before I started riding scooters.  I remember back in the day, riding bikes all around town with the gang, pretending to be the next Nyquist riding in the X-Games...little did I know I'd end up a sponsored scooter rider.  Hah!

So I hope you don't mind if I seemed a little nervous, it was crazy meeting him.  He seemed to be nice enough to us which was pretty cool, decent little bit of exposure for the sport for sure.

    haha such a cool little video. Ryan is totally right, whatever you're riding: bikes, scooters, inline skates, skateboards; they are all the same really: wheels, tricks, filming, goals, and having fun riding with your mates!
