 Riding 26" bikes is a form of Necrophilia...

 Classic Nyquist - smooth, dialed, creative lines, and lots of barspins. Been following this guy since he blew up on the 20" scene, back when I rode 20s exclusively. LOVE the sound those tires make when he's pumping...like music

 Someone poor misguided soul actually thought 26 was dead? Was the whole slopestyle tour, pumptrack, and DS a dream?

 Whatever you think you've done riding park, Down Country and Enduro, get your arse to the skate park like this and thy shall be humbled... probably already on the edge of the quarter before dropping in for the first time. Those air outs? imagine for a moment that you are up there and realizing that the best way down is turn your whole body towards the ground. And if you just try to air out, having no clue about it, your BB will say hello to the coping and your face will hit the ground below. Then all the kids laugh at you for having elbows out. Something for your next episode of "Humbled" @mikelevy ?

Awesome riding from Ryan, I wish I could be anywhere close to this.

 @waki what is your skatepark bike? You’ve mentioned previously you like to hit the skatepark, what’s your weapon of choice?

 Some day when I am fully old... I hope to be 1/10th as cool as him and be able to go the the local skate park on a 26" DJ bike with a helmet and full pads, and blow the minds of all the local punk kids that think they are cool..

 His full suspension from Whistler was a very nice bicycle in my opinion. He probably sets his bikes up the best in my opinion, out of anyone I've seen, maybe apart from the super narrow handle bars.(they just don't suit me, they suit him obviously)..........If you want to sell bicycles, I'd have him riding for you.

 yeah luckily for BMXers they dont have to deal with the stupid marketing plys of the MTB world, the difference is BMX companies actaully care for the sport.

 So what is there like a new f*ckin wheel standard other than 26 for dirt jumpers too now? Or sorry I guess we’re supposed to call them pump track bikes now

 It is. The Unit is invite only, not open to the public. My dream to ride there.

 I woke up thinking, "ya know, I'm not sure Nyquist is really THAT rad... I could really use some more proof" - and boom, there it is.

 Obviously all those tricks are amazing but when he pumped across so fast on those vertical turns, man that was cool. Sound and all
