Ryan Nyquist and Mat Hoffman: The Legends Chat BMX and Beyond
Ryan Nyquist: Mat! Long time no see, man. How’s life treating you?
Mat Hoffman: Ryan, what’s up, brother! Life’s been wild, as always. Busy with some new projects and still riding as much as my body lets me. And you?
Ryan Nyquist: You know me, can’t stay off the bike either! Been juggling family life, Nitro Circus, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. Speaking of which, what’s this new project you’re brewing?
Mat Hoffman: Ah, it’s a bit top secret, but let’s just say the BMX community will have something special to look forward to next year. Think big ramps and even bigger air!
Ryan Nyquist: Dude, you and your insane ideas! Always pushing the limits. I remember when you first pulled off the no-handed 900; it’s still burned into my memory.
Mat Hoffman: Haha, those were some good times. Speaking of pushing limits, I saw your recent run. That 720 barspin to tailwhip? Insane, man!
Ryan Nyquist: Thanks, Mat. Just trying to keep up with the young guns out there. They’re throwing tricks these days that make my head spin.
Mat Hoffman: Seriously! The progression in BMX is mind-blowing. But, hey, you’re a living legend too. I mean, what’s it like mentoring these kids at this stage in your career?
Ryan Nyquist: It’s humbling, honestly. Seeing their passion reminds me of why I fell in love with BMX in the first place. Plus, it’s hilarious when they ask, “So, were you really doing this in the 90s?”
Mat Hoffman: Haha, makes you feel ancient, right? But it’s all part of the journey. You’re passing the torch while still burning bright yourself.
Ryan Nyquist: Totally. So, any advice for the next generation of riders out there?
Mat Hoffman: Yeah, I’d say keep dreaming big and don’t let fear hold you back. The best tricks come from taking those risks. Remember, pain is temporary, but glory is forever.
Ryan Nyquist: Preach it, Mat! And I’d add: have fun, because that’s what it’s all about. Ride because you love it, not because you want to be the best.
Mat Hoffman: Couldn’t agree more, Ryan. Here’s to many more years of shredding and inspiring!
Ryan Nyquist: Absolutely! Let’s catch up properly soon. Maybe another epic session for old times’ sake?
Mat Hoffman: Count me in! See you on the ramps, my friend.
