RYAN NYQUIST VS THE 23 YEAR OLD IMPOSSIBLE TRICK

[@isaahland4229]

I love that Nyquist is still out there doing it - he was one of my favorite riders 20 years ago along with Mirra, TJ Lavin, Nasty Nastazio, Mike Laird, etc.

[@HardwayPhotogallery]

Yeeeew!! We need more challenges like this, the old guard deserves more and more than our respect.

[@DtownChillin]

Very much agreed this was extremely entertaining, Nyquist is a great rider I remember when I was young I thought it was funny that even in X Games dirt he never took off a single peg. What a beast

[@benshakespeare268]

Yeah, right on man!

[@maiomonster]

Bro, I'm 37 years old and have been watching you forever. Thanks for staying awesome!

[@rtillerypowersports]

Epic view into progression and determination. This is what patience looks like. Also a true "baby-steps" process that allows progression without injury or at least minimized risk. Score 1 for the old guys. Thank you Ryan.

[@VlogEpicness]

This was amazing. Thanks to the internet for making it happen.

[@slimmdogg47]

Dude whipped out a 360 backflip in a dirt jump contest way back. I been a huge fan since then (before actually but that cemented it)..

Haha Ryan still looks the same from when I was 10 years old I’m 32 now. He aged good.

[@newthrash1221]

Fr. He looks exactly the same from like 15-20 years ago.

[@swarm69]

except for his joints...

I skateboard, but might go into bmx but I definitely can agree. He was the choice if not mirra on the games back in the day.

[@killerskincanoe]

No shit right.

[@DHdave510]

The excitement of when you know youre getting really close to pulling something, and then you get it. Nothing beats that.

[@AllDayBikes]

Alternate Title: Ryan's 18 minute decent into insanity. That was actually so dope, godda admire the dedication.

[@shanesischo1313]

Damn, there is an entire list of those crazy tricks that it seems only Enns, Osato, and friemuth could do. Props Ryan.

[@pieterpossenier4191]

you can add tobias wicke to that list. this is a trick that has his name written all over it.

[@shanesischo1313]

@@pieterpossenier4191 damn, forgot about Tobias.

[@Dedicationbrandco]

This should become a thing. Recreate old “one off tricks” and see if someone can do them now. My vote for next one is cam birdwell under side xup double peg on a rafter.

[@goatworks734]

I saw him do a 1 hand X up double peg on a box jump to down ledge, he landed in a 1 hand x up grind from like 4ft up over a 12ft gap - total nut

[@jesseladd6864]

There’s a skater who started doing it. He tried to recreate Mullen tricks. Sponsored by revive skate I forgot his name but he’s had a ton of big videos doing this exact thing

[@theroundaboutcat]

@@jesseladd6864 Jonny Giger is who you're thinking of

[@1975brody]

More specific, he did (does) old Rodney Mullen tricks (magic)

[@dfpguitar]

I vote for Mat Hoffman's world first back flip 180 aka flair which he did on a super skinny ramp in the UK in the 90s. Flairs became very common since 00s but everyone does them super low and more like a weird corkscrew thing to make it infinitely easier. I wanna see someone soar up high with a straight back flip, THEN turn the 180 just like mat did.

[@justink2874]

This video IS everything BMX... Determination, Excitement, Frustration, Pain... pushing yourself for yourself, not for glory or fame but for the feeling of accomplishment. Even a LEGEND of the sport can still learn new tricks and push himself. ❤❤❤

[@brandonbenson6323]

Massive props Ryan, hard work and dedication pays of. Enjoy watching since the 90’s. Hard trick

[@ncomekamakhamba9600]

Do more of these trick challenges! Would be fun to see them re done / attempted

[@Tripnets]

I remember early 2000 watching Osato and Enns at my local skatepark . I was just amazed at what they were doing.

[@Csilvis39]

Ryan Nyquist is man. He's the whole reason I started riding BMX. Now I race track bikes and work in the bike industry. Also looking to race Cyclocross and Enduro soon

[@DWSOutdoors]

Proud to be a mid school Midwest Tech rider! This makes me want to go set up a quarter and re learn all those old tricks!

[@briang43]

That midwest 90s game still just about untouchable. Completely changed riding!

[@ShadLife]

This was awesome! Rick Moliterno did and still does some crazy mini ramp tricks. Krt Schmidt with all his fakie tricks. Heck, Joe Hurlbert is rarely mentioned, but he did some gnarly ramp and spine tricks. I rode with Joe Hurlburt and Dave Freimuth a bunch back then as well as Tom Haugen. All right here in Minneapolis, MN. Tech on ramps was such a big thing back then. Nice work Ryan! I would love to see riders bring a lot of technical stuff back to ramps. Seems big air, flips, flairs and all of that stuff have taken the lime light.

[@alexcarey5639]

Dedication!! That was great to watch his process through it all!

[@KaizenPhotography]

That’s an excellent example of perseverance and hard work, paying off. Well done

[@SomeSkillStudio]

great video! I would love to see the process of other pros learning new tricks. Im a beginner and have been doing 100 fakies every other day for the last 2 weeks and still don't feel very close to mastering them. It's helpful to see other people especially pros struggle with tricks, it makes the struggle seem more universal.

[@anthonydecker8925]

This is so freaking cool watching the Ryan nyquist fight for a trick and actually see the process. What a champion. Plus he’s always funny as hell. Just good for KZbin all around!!!!

[@MeerkatMotorBoards]

Patience, optimism and pain tolerance, fantastic lesson in perseverance.

[@sferguson1130]

Man, as a fan of BMX my entire life, but only skating for the past 25 years, I had no idea how difficult something like this was lol. When I saw the three digit counter at the beginning, I thought holy shit lol. So sick watching the process from a true legend.

[@MTBFreeks]

Man this helped me out so much there are days where I don't feel like I am progressing at all! Seeing THE LEGEND himself struggle with tricks let me know this is normal

[@justinmaiden9712]

Every BMX rider knows that "its happening" moment!!

[@Android480]

Every BMX rider, trials rider, dirt bike rider, skateboarder, rollerblader, skier, snowboarder, climber, cliff diver, and endless more. That feeling is universal!

@@Android480 It really is. There's that *one* bail that flips the switch in your head where it clicks... And you and everyone else knows it's moments away.

[@lukemcnulty2659]

There is nothing better than that feeling when u land a trick, its priceless no matter how big or small the trick its still just as rewarding

[@asdf8076]

This sort of commitment is probably what made him pro.

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

awesome. many of the clips from mid school. or lines. or tricks. are still huge for today. and on heavier bikes. bmx has progressed but not that much in 20 years. more combos but the riders from my era were doing stuff now that most cant still do.

[@karlnorgaard6077]

Best way to do it, build up to it. I'm an old skateboarder, and I ride roadbikes. But I still get down, and watching this video reminded me of my life about 15yrs ago. My approach was, as Ryan's was here, to build up slowly. Knowing then you can do all the parts of the trick, needing only the right moment to stitch it all together. Hats off dude for really applying a work ethic to this "someday" trick.

[@Ridebmxindia]

so amazing to see all old tricks coming back to the picture now....this is definetly the scariest one so much balance you need to land them safe

[@eagonchill10]

Literally yelled when you got it!! This is awesome 👏🏼great job

[@lcrdcastro]

This was amazing man, loved this video. This struggle sums up what is the real BMX, never giving up a trick.

[@Getting_Better_Daily]

One of the dudes I watched and tried to be like in the 90’s... props for the dedication he put in to land it...

This was so awesome to see the progression and just how difficult some of this stuff is! Nice work Mr. Nyquist ! 👍🍻

[@jakegibson9685]

I love how he involved his little ones, especially the one on the flat who is just over it right after it starts....hilarious!!

[@jordanlarson6488]

More challenges like this of old crazy tech tricks would be awesome. Also really cool seeing Ryan's approach to safely learning this trick. Don't see that in videos normally.

[@leonreihana488]

Nyquist was my first shop bmx when I started at 31yrs old, now 52 This is cool seeing Ryan

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

I loved watching your journey and relentlessness!

[@edc4fun]

That was awesome. Thank you! It makes me wonder how much Enns practiced it.. or if he just threw it and it stuck.

[@OurBMX]

That’s a great question. Not sure.

[@edc4fun]

I just read the “What is Our BMX” and am glad to see you putting this channel on.. I was a Ride subscriber in the 90s and just subbed to this channel. Thanks for the response.

[@BeTheJookie]

Well done Ryan, that was a good battle! I remember seeing that clip back in the day and it was rad - Jason's the man. I reckon Spencer Foresman could also be a good contender for this trick.

He's 41 too

[@danielmcfarland908]

I love seeing the excitement on growing into the trick. Such a bad ass trick. I looked up to Nyquist at such young age. So rad that he's still killing it. Congrats to that guy!! 🤙🤙

[@lancecass8997]

Enns was my Favorite rider for years. He had a Kink add in the 90s. Ryan, you'll remember. Over spine toothpick, to 270 revert back over!!!! He was a badass! And he flowed for a big guy. Smooth. Same with Dave Osato. Those Canadians. I remember here in salt lake, watching Shawn elf Walters doing x up 50/50 grinds. I had to learn it! And did. Having your bars backwards is tough. Nothing seemed tough for Enns on a miniramp. He was ahead of his time. Shout out to Nyquist! Utah misses you and bmx!

[@lancecass8997]

And don't forget, Nyquist was the original bar spinning expert. This guy was super comfortable spinning those bars decades ago. Props Nyquist!

[@weeklybmxnews5731]

I got so hyped when he landed it as if I was there ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 hell yeah Ryan!

[@JohnDuthie]

This is my favorite video on the internet! Hell yeah, Ryan!!!!!!!!!

[@seanroberts381]

Just curious- how much of a difference does ramp curvature and height make to the pop and setup needed to position onto the peg?

[@melvillesmith202]

Yo this video is amazing, I know that exact feeling of going for a trick for so long that you make up vocabulary for things that you shouldn’t do and thing that you should do. When I was learning tooth pick something that I kept saying to myself is “the carve” and hearing Nyquist say the same thing was dejavu almost for me when I learned how to tooth pick.

[@nkpgbmx]

Barspins, nosepicks and toothpicks was "my thing" back in the days. Maybe not the best on those tricks but still very satisfying to pull off. But I would never pull this half barspin toothpick half barspin off as easy or even near Jason's, or Ryan's. Really good job guys, very interesting video for this almost impossible trick!!

[@lennybmx9575]

[@gregorzimmermann2514]

Yeah Ryan! Such a sick video - the progression is intense. What a boss!

[@jasonsimons3071]

Nyquist had been solid in my top 3 for most of my life. As a young kid I begged my mom for weeks to buy me the miracle boy and nyquist video. And one year the only thing I wanted for my birthday was his shoe back when he got his first pro model with Adidas.. So happy to see him still killing it.

Nyquist has always been my favorite rider for about 20 years now. I had the pleasure of riding with him three times once @ vans skatepark in Milpitas CA once @ 85 jumps in San Jose CA (which doesn't exist anymore there's a freeway there now) and once @ the legendary Calabasas in Sunnyvale CA

[@AuralVirus]

Oh he's rated alright but i know what you mean - he's an under the radar kind of rider yet (obviously) world class.

[@BiffcheeseSpinoccoli]

If Mirra was Jordan, Ryan was easily Pippen; but if we’re being honest (and I’m aware some might consider this LZ-level blasphemy, but I stand by it), Nyquist has a much more consistent style. Fight me.

I feel like I remember in one of Enns' first magazine articles back in the day, him doing an over toothpick to fakie with a half bar on a mini spine?

[@mcdizzlefletch6302]

I love this stuff. My brother was a bmx rider. Won the race of champions 9 months after he started riding. I was a skater. Took one good nut shot on a bike and decided I was better on a board. Got sponsored, but I quit when everyone else did in the late 80’s. Then picked up wakeboarding my 20’s. During the winter, picked up skating again to keep my balance in check. Stuck with it since. The stuff I can do at 44 is mind boggling to most. A ton of old school flare but I’m not eating Cheetos on a couch. Still can’t nollie to save my life, but got a 270 shove it to 50 grind and 270 shove back in on a mini on lock...Awesome Ryan, still sad anytime I hear about Mira... I lost the brother I mentioned to suicide as well. I think he took too many head hits...
