Nyquist is pure talent and class. Pretty rare in any sport to have someone so admirable.

I want to see him and Tippie in the commentary box for every event. The less they know about it the better. Olympic diving? Tippie and Nyquist. Dressage? Tippie and Nyquist. Crokinole tournament? Tippie and Nyquist all day long.

Pure class exactly! I wonder how many brands are wishing they got him on board? Good on him for really sticking with MTB and injecting so much passion in to everything he does

Met him when he was 16, he was the same back then. Very polite and mature already at that age even though he was already pretty famous. Good to see him still doing so well in life.

It’s like he’s ridden bmx all his life or something ;-)

How just don't know how you could come up with this kind of conclusion!

So damn smooth. He starts alternating spin direction more and adds a whip he'll definitely start placing higher. His style is so on point. Best bar spins and smoothest 3's out there. Dudes a straight legend and a hell of a nice guy.

Not trying to be a douche, genuine question here. Do people in the BMX world think Nyquist has sold out by going over to a sport that is arguably a little way behind BMX?

OlSkoolJake (Jun 21, 2018 at 12:02)

I wouldn't think so. As he is still competing in BMX events and placing well. So if there is hate. It's probably cause of jealousy because he's doing both and succeeding at an age double of most of his competition.

@OlSkoolJake: he should bring back the blue goatee just to be safe

Soulrebel (Jun 21, 2018 at 16:18)

Not at all, hes well respected in both worlds.

Solid question. Not at all. I think with anything that people don’t understand there comes skepticism. Then throw passion in the mix and emotions get twisted. Most times I find that people can’t wrap their head around the fact that I’d committed myself to being the best possible rider I could be in two sports. They seemed to think I had to chose one or the other. Thanks for the question!

vonroder77 (Jun 22, 2018 at 9:44)

@Soulrebel: I was joking around, he has been an inspiration to keep riding and never give up trying to dirt jump which I have no talent for and have continuously hurt myself doing even into my adult years. Got to meet him at Sheep Hills when I was a kid, I was like 12 years old, my friend and I knew it was him because of his blue goatee, and Yes.....we did the lame "YOUR RYAN NYQUIST".

OlSkoolJake (Jun 22, 2018 at 11:42)

@RyanNyquist: keep doing you brother! We fans love it no matter what kind of two wheeled steed you choose. Your passion for the sport is to be admired and it gets the stoke going in us your fans.

anchoricex (Jun 21, 2018 at 14:43)

such a good dude. 720 up to the whale tale underappreciated. i know he barspins a lot, but hes damn good at it and its a pleasure to watch.

sharkfin15 (Jun 21, 2018 at 10:34)

At the top of his game for more than two decades, and counting.

panchocampbell (Jun 21, 2018 at 6:41)

dude makes me feel "young" !!!

beeboo (Jun 21, 2018 at 13:33)

For an old guy he can still send it

Soulrebel (Jun 21, 2018 at 16:20)

Cant help but think if he was still around Mirra could have gone in this direction and done some amazing things. RIP

Can't say enough about Ryan Nyquist, I know I want to be him.

Try building a trail and maybe you will find out what’s the connection between chainsaws and the MTB world

You aren't a true mtber if you don't know the significance of the chainsaw.

RedBurn (Jun 21, 2018 at 8:04)

@Soni: i build and maintain tons of trail dont worry!!.. and for the large majority of them a chainsaw isnt needed. Rake, shovel and handsaw are your best friends, keep it natural and hand built... no engine needed

RedBurn (Jun 21, 2018 at 8:06) (Below Threshold)

@Patrick9-32: no. Clapping is standable. Chainsaws are fckin useless for cheering thats all. Noise for nothing.

Dustfarter (Jun 21, 2018 at 10:16)

I agree. Totally played out at this point.
I think freestyle mx ( Redbull events) were some of the first places they started appearing years back.
Their connection to mtb isn't a solid as others may think.
