CARLSBAD, Calif. (BRAIN) — Veteran BMX dirt and park pro Ryan Nyquist has announced will compete as a dual-sport athlete this year, riding for both Haro BMX and Haro MTB.
"I've been riding and competing in BMX for over 20 years and I still love it just as much today and I did when I started. But for me, riding has always been about pushing myself to achieve new goals, and MTB is another way to challenge myself and progress my riding," Nyquist said.
Nyquist participated in select mountain bike events in 2015 and will continue to ride BMX competitively, but will now commit officially to a competitive MTB schedule as well.
"When you think BMX you think Ryan Nyquist, and that's never going to change." said Joe Hawk, COO of Haro Bikes. "But if he's looking for an extra challenge, we're thrilled to have him involved in just another branch of the family with Haro MTB. We know he'll bring the same excitement to the MTB world that he still does today on the BMX side."
