14-time X Games gold medalist and Nitro Circus athlete Ryan “R Willy” Williams just pulled of the impossible at his compound in Australia with a BMX trick that defies logic.
R Willy has spent his highly decorated career redefining what’s possible on a BMX bike and his latest stunt definitely follows that trend. Tag along as the scooter kid turned BMX magician formulates a plan to fulfill a 5 year fantasy using his in-ground in-run, adjustable mega ramp, a crawler crane and shipping container to throw a half backflip to an inverted stall back into half front flip:
“Go inside Ryan’s mind as he breaks down the creative process behind building a trick that doesn’t have a name yet – the visualization, the setbacks, the obsession with progression, and the relentless mentality that’s made him one of the most innovative riders in BMX today.”
Congratutions to R Willy for once again expanding what is possible on two wheels. This dude is something else.
