[Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. all right mate. yeah. how you feeling man i feel good yeah did. you have a good time i'm sitting here. with ryan williams um.

who was a real. uh. cyclist i guess is a you know a. real astronaut. cyclist almost. ex-gamer what's kind of the appropriate. term for somebody like you uh i guess. you would say a professional bmx writer. and a professional scooter writer okay. action sports athlete okay try to do it. all you do yeah okay so. and um. action sports. like.

so when you when people say action. sports that encompasses what. um anything that's kind of like i guess. i guess slightly dangerous. and. considered a sport. okay i would say so yeah. and um. and i saw you last night we went to the. comedy show yeah yeah it was sick. yeah it was it was so good and i was. like uh i don't know i've only been to. um the comedy store like before that. yeah and then um so this is like the. second time going somewhere in hollywood.

yeah oh nice yeah. um. so yeah you guys uh yeah that was such a. surprise dude so do you have do you go. to a place uh so you live in australia. right yeah yeah and do you is there a. comedy place you go to there yeah no. i've actually never seen a comedy show. in australia wow yeah. but um so yeah i'm living here in. huntington beach but. um usually sunshine coast in a show and. you've been to australia right yeah i've. been to australia man i really like. australia. you know i like a lot of i like how it.

all started with the inmates and. everything putting all like the seedy. people over there yeah yeah i love seedy. people. and so i think i love that about it you. know just seeing the children and. grandchildren of seedy people. and just seeing like the ant you know. all the unique animals. it feels almost like a pla it feels. almost like a um. like a secret location kind of you know. yeah uh or it seems like a um. like a practice facility for humanity. that's what and.

and mother nature it feels like a. training ground for like humans and. mother nature that's what i feel like. just to see how it like mixes i feel. like it helps uh it must be like in the. blood because i feel like a lot of us. have like a few screws loose and that's. why why you see us in action sports like. just sending it yeah oh there's a. different level yeah australians have a. different thing inside of them and i. don't know if it's a sign do they know. if it's a scientific thing you think. like if it's like a uh maybe. generational i don't know. i wonder if there's like that rebellious. thing because.

because australia started because i. think they were inmates from england. they put them there right yeah yeah so. there was like convicts and they um. shipped them over because it was like. they're like oh we want to free up some. space here. so send them off to the mainland a. little we need a little more bandwidth. over here at the prison. so we're going to send we're going to. send a couple uh a couple of bad boys. over there. yeah dude i love australia man i had a. great time um. so how do so so your world is mostly. like take me through how you kind of got. started man because i know you and i. just met on ig i was in like i love all.

your like tricks and it seems so extreme. and like i get nervous being at like. high speeds and stuff so when i see. somebody like you i'm like damn this guy. you know he's really able to level up. like in this um. you know this guy seems like a real like. a you know uh. just like a real energy drink of a kind. of guy you know i felt like yeah um i. don't know i guess it started like. where the action sport started was i. watched the x games and like there was a.

movie called the ultimate x and it had. like guys like travis pastrana tony hawk. and like i seen that and i think all i. had at the time were like rollerblades. because my mum took me to the roller. drum you know so. i was like i want to go to skatepark now. what do i have rollerblades so i just. like went to this game i got my roll. blades and fell on my butt like 500. times and then pretty much from then on. i was just like the skatepark rat right. you know skatepark kid and so at. skateparks over there are people doing. drugs and stuff or is it mostly just. skating um you could probably find drugs.

at the skate park but. i like. there's certain skateparks like the. skatepark i mainly go to it's got a. fence around it so you don't just go. chill there and do drugs you kind of. like pay to go in and you're not going. to pay twice to do drugs yeah yeah it's. true yeah. yeah. yeah if you do your drugs and then you. go in there yeah you want to save that. money i think and just do your drugs. outside probably yeah um. so when you started like did you find. that you were good at in in the. beginning because sometimes i wonder how. much of a um.

to be like an extreme. sports person yeah how much like. how much like um. is it in you and then how much is it. that you can learn like oh yeah. i've always felt like something like. that is not in me dude like. yeah you know i'll even like even you. know sometimes people like when the car. stops real fast people put their hand. over the person yeah yeah i will make. people put their hand over me even if. we're just kind of cruising along. yeah i guess um i would say i guess it.

is built in a little bit like you kind. of have to be a little bit wild because. you've got to get over the hill you know. you're going to crash you are going to. crash there's like no way not to really. if you want to push that upper level but. i guess it is something you could. definitely learn like obviously i. started i started just for fun and i was. just like all my homies were like down. the skate park and then that's why i. jumped on a scooter because i was like. the only rollerblade kid just all like. the lonely rollerblader basically down. the skate park and all my mates rode. scooters and i was like man i want to. ride with i want to learn with everybody.

else so i ended up like i had to borrow. like their scooter and their shoes. because obviously i rolled the blade i. didn't have shoes you can't roll the. blade on the scooter yet no well you're. kidding if you try enough but uh yeah. pretty much just. oh it was all fun at the start and then. you like build up and just i don't know. you slowly progress but i guess at the. start you obviously. have to be able to get hurt and not like. cry about it kind of thing you have to. like get pick yourself up and keep going. and if you see somebody with like were. you helmeted in the beginning are people. in helmets or not yeah yeah helmeted and.

is it well received by others if you. wear a helmet or is it kind of it's a. it's um it depends what you're doing. like you're not going to go out there. and do a triple backflip with no helmet. on because. you if you crash then you're not going. to be doing any more flips after that. you know you know like you can get. seriously hurt but definitely like the. skateboarding realm is like yeah if you. don't you're not wearing if you're. wearing a helmet like olly in a stair. set they're like what are you doing yeah. but. it's kind of well received in scooter. and bmx to wear the helmet because a lot. of people have gotten hurt even with the.

helmet on and like can't ride anymore so. it's like if everyone wasn't wearing a. helmet then there'd be way less bmx. riders because i think that oh it's that. it gets that dangerous huh it definitely. does get dangerous and it's just like. why not have. a helmet on and just protect your noggin. yeah i just always i would never want my. kids i don't think to see me in a helmet. you know if i'm a dad you know yeah like. that's such a yeah i don't know yeah i. guess you might not suit a helmet i. don't think i've ever seen a picture of. you in a helmet so yeah. and there's only a reason for that yeah. probably a reason for it yeah but i.

think yeah if a kid sees their dad in a. helmet i think it just does something to. a kid that it's just hard to like you. guys helmets is different because. they're more like cool looking helmets i. feel like but if you're in like one of. like if you're like on a bicycle like in. the neighborhood and you were and your. dad drives up the driveway in the bike. and he has on a helmet i feel like it. just. i don't know i would feel so sad for my. dad and then i feel so sad for me i. think. yeah i guess like if you're wearing a. cyclist helmet the worst ones i think i. don't know if you have like birds that. sweep you here like we have magpies in.

australia and they like swoop you so you. see cyclists they'll they'll have like a. cycling helmet and then they'll have zip. ties. like pointing up in the air to keep them. keep the birds from sweeping their heads. that's crazy dude yeah i used to paint. this this uh. i used to paint fences on this man's. property and i used to do it with this. big uh. kind of urban gentleman and he died. actually but. he was alive at this point and we used. to he also used to cut grass his dude. johnny was his name big johnny and he. wore these he had like it was big he had.

a real dark skin and he had a big chest. here and he would have these jewel like. a lot of gold and stuff and. silver choice chains and stuff in it and. he was a homosexual guy actually i. didn't know that at the time but people. said he was later. but anyway he um. the birds would come he and i would. paint these fences and the birds would. swoop down because he had a big afro so. the birds would swoop down to get into. his hair yeah so at one point my only. responsibility was to have this like. badminton racket and just [ __ ] swat.

away all like these uh i want to say it. was nightingales but it might have been. something else they're trying to like. nest yeah they coming in and trying to. nest at him he's like you got my back. i'm like i got you bud so i'm just. sitting there all day just [ __ ] just. uh just love love with mother nature um. but. but anyway yeah so because yeah i think. sometimes if i had that helmet it would. make me. if i saw my dad on a regular bicycle but. in your sport you guys need the helmet. yeah yeah i'd suggest wearing a helmet.

just because you could like not even be. trying anything crazy and just like fall. over and just hit your head and there's. like a there's a lot of guys that like. have had brain injuries and then they. can't ride and it's like if they. and there's big people that get hurt not. wearing a helmet and can't ride so it's. like may as well just wear one but i get. where you're coming from but i'll stick. to wearing helmet i think yeah. yeah. um so what about this so you get going. you now was it frowned upon that you're. in there with the uh rollerblades was. that kind of like a yeah well yeah it.

was because i i rolled away for like. four years but it was kind of like. that's all i had you know right i was. just my i was uh i grew up with a single. mom and she was like. that's all we could afford right we just. had the rollerblades and then it's like. i was like sweet and then once i started. i was like man this is fun like this is. so fun i'm just gonna rollerblade. because it's so fun it's the only thing. i tried yeah so i did that for like four. years. i can't imagine rollerblading for four. years man.

and so then you you get up to the. scooter so is that where you start to. like make your like where do you start. to kind of make your climb into like. this [ __ ] like astrophysicist on a. scooter like you're like this like. you're like a bullet kind of like where. do you start to make your climb then um. i would say like. i jump on a scooter i think i rode for. like maybe. three or four years and then kind of got. sponsored and then once i got sponsored. that we did like a trip to um the usa.

and that was like when i was like what. like i'm riding a scooter and like. they're flying me over to the usa to. just ride skateparks this is like kind. of like mind-blowing this is crazy so. where were you riding when you're riding. before you're still at these skate parks. locally yeah all just the skate parks. and then for about. so yeah for about five five or six years. it was just the skate park stuff and. then that's. like after that nitrous soaker see me on. youtube right and they were like oh. let's give this guy go on this 40-foot. jump and then see what he can do and i. was like let's go i was 17 years old.

just like. ready to send it you didn't want it so. you didn't have any so like yeah was. there a lot of fear or anything like. what goes. what starts to go away does the fear. start to go away or take me through some. of that process because you're. let's see if we can pull up one of these. um. just pull up one of uh i just want you. to kind of take me through what's what. some of this is when you like because. now you do some pretty you're on like. some pretty intense ramps huh yeah. um.

probably go like just a single trick. don't do that. just typing like triple front flip. that's a good one that's probably my. hardest one on scooter okay let's look. for that one you just triple front flip. in the top. ah now down one yep there we go. i'm probably just skipping a little bit. but. this one was crazy because it was like.

they built this jump just for me to do. this trick wow. and like the thing is i'm always scared. like i'm always scared the fear is. always there it's just the confidence is. built built up you know i've gained. confidence in my abilities in myself hey. hold on we can hear that in here it's. too loud in here. sorry. yeah i don't even think we need the. audio of it if we can. we can probably just look at the video. okay so right here so they're building. this they built this ramp so this was at.

travis australia's house so is this when. you once you get on this is this once. you get over here to the u.s yeah yeah. on this tour nah not that first tour. this is like after i've been on nitro. circus and then i'm like this is when. i'm kind of. really starting my career look wow yeah. but this is. you look like a full-on. dame from [ __ ] adelaide bro you look. like a yeah i don't know i don't know. what look i was going for there but yeah. um they built this ramp just for this. trick and i was so scared because no one.

had ever landed a triple front flip on. bmx and it's still like one of the. hardest tricks i've ever done even. though this is like. i don't know seven years ago. dude now did you did these guys think. you could do it are guys like psyched. for each other is it like a lot of. camaraderie yeah that's the thing about. action sports is that like we know that. if the other guy doesn't land it like he. can get really hurt so it's all just. like we're all homies everyone's. cheering everyone on no one wants anyone. to fail we want everyone to win right. and this is my homie i was actually. racing him to do the first one and he.

he got he got to do the first attempt. and yeah you'll see it's just. explosion jesus. yeah. and is that a children's bike. i mean kind of it's a full gra it's a. full man bike oh okay yeah. a kid could ride it though. yeah it was not it was it was wild wow. so when you're going up this like what. speed are you going whenever you hit. this whenever you go up this ramp i. think we had a speed speedometer and it. was like 35 miles per hour 35 40.

yeah. and so all right so you get on this bike. i just like what i do is kind of like. you can close your you know you can. close your eyes and you can write your. name you know right you know so it's. like that i've i've wrote a bmx so long. that. i can like picture it in my head before. i even do it so it's like i just close. my eyes and i like have like a simulator. in my brain that i've. created over like 15 years of riding. action sports and i can just play that. trick out boom boom in my head 30 times.

before i drop in and then i drop in and. it's like okay this is what i have to do. i'm doing it and i'm as i'm doing it i'm. like calculating okay is this what was. meant to be happening is this what i. imagined was going to be happening right. and if it is i'm like sweet stay on and. if i'm looking and i'm seeing something. else i'm like all right how am i not how. do i not land on my head right now right. so at a certain point it's just you. realize it's kind of survival like if. it's if something feels a little bit off. or something you realize at that point i. just needed a land i need to land safely.

and redo it yeah yeah exactly so like. i'm a professional crasher i would say. as well to be a professional action. sports athlete you have to be a. professional crasher because. if you if you can't crash then you can't. get back up and try again. manscaped has been busy and just. launched the redefined body wash and. two-in-one shampoo plus conditioner. they have everything you need to take. care of your body. and keep your hair. tidy damn it do well look decent it's. your crotch christ.

that ramp how do you then get your bike. to flip. frontward because it would seem like you. want to go back have you ever done a. flip. um i've done a flip on a trampoline yeah. and it's kind of similar to that but. it's like obviously wheels different. inertia but it's like so what i do. the way i do it is i would ride up right. and then i i initiate the front flip by. throwing my upper body over the front of. the bike right and then it's going to. tip the bike up when do you do that like. do you know when to do it yeah i have to. do it a little bit early on that triple.

front flip because obviously it's three. flips not one like one flip you can be. like like just chill and it comes around. two flips then you have to get more. three flips is like okay i just have to. put everything into it and i actually. like nose manual which is like where you. go on the front wheel so i'll be going. on one wheel up the ramp before i'm even. off the top and then that's what just. flicks me and then wow so when you leave. the ramp you're only on that front wheel. yeah on that trick wow because i have to. just give it everything can you feel. that front wheel catch the edge of that. ramp at all or not yeah it hits that.

trick the funny thing is i have bru i. had bruises on my legs because. the bike would like press against my. legs so hard because i would throw so. hard that the handlebars would hit me in. the legs and that's how i knew i was. spinning fast because i was like oh yeah. i felt that and you then you feel the. flick and you just kind of like hold on. for the ride and so at that point do you. just hope that you land at the exact. right kind of timing or is the ramp. built so that. you could kind of as long as you're. coming you can come in at a lot of. different angles in length yeah so it's. kind of you like obviously the ramp is.

like 50 of the trick you know because. it's like you gotta have the same the. right trajectory if you're coming into a. flat surface you're just going to. explode so you need to like it's almost. like a plane you know it comes into line. just smooth like that so it's like when. we land we want to be landing in the. trajectory of the landing so that's like. smoother but it's still a hard landing. so all the places where you land usually. it has to be at an angle so that yeah. yeah because you couldn't just do it. flat. no not not safely you know i. there's like a certain level yeah and.

once you pass that level your bones. can't do it yeah. that's that [ __ ] homemade halloween. baby you know. damn bro that's crazy man so um okay so. take me through some of this so you. start to get are you in school at this. point yeah yeah so i started so whenever. you kind of you kind of get going you. get on the scooter right yeah and is. scooter frowned upon i mean scooter like. you see somebody on a scooter like yeah. yeah you don't think like oh look at.

this guy yeah i think and and that's. kind of a cool thing when i'm doing. these nice stickers tours because like. especially here in america they're like. they're like are you gonna take that. scooter down that ramp and i'm like bro. i'm gonna do way more than just take it. down the ramp. but yeah when i first started obviously. scootering was like it was just it was. just fun man and uh we did get it was. like. skateboarders would be like why are you. riding a scooter you're not gonna get. anywhere riding a scooter dude i'm like. well i'm just having fun man i'm not. really trying to get anywhere i'm just. trying to get to the skate park and do.

some stunts but yeah i got heaps of um. grief for that like bullied obviously. but was there a lot of people scootering. were more people starting to do it yeah. yeah and it was like blowing up right. and i was like on the forefront of that. and then it's kind of like that's why. it i got to catch this wave of like. new age scooter dudes right and the. these tricks weren't created yet so i. was like in the forefront and i could. create tricks because. like the tricks that i was doing 10. years ago. 100 like 10 000 kids can do it now.

whereas it was like a world's first 10. years ago it was like being at the front. of like. it was like buying bitcoin you know it. was like it was like being at the. forefront like people were like whoa. looking at like bitcoin and then like. the dudes that did were like yeah now so. it's like that's what i'm doing it's. like i got on that first wave of. scooters and then now i'm here like yeah. that's crazy. okay i see man wow did you um. and did you just feel like did you try. skateboarding as well did you try other. things in the beginning and you just.

felt most capable with the scooter or. what makes you stay with that yeah i. think that the biggest thing was just my. mates did it you know and i just want to. hang out with all my friends and like if. all my mates skateboarded i probably. would have been a skateboarder i. probably would have went that direction. because i did have a skateboard and i. would skateboard when my mate. skateboarded i would ride a bmx when my. mates wrote a bmx and that was kind of. the thing i would go to the skatepark i. was like i don't know i was like a. treasure trove of action sports i would. just bring like everything i could to. the skatepark just in case like more. people were doing that was like okay. it's time for the skateboard today right.

and then i would just. um do that and that's kind of like why i. picked up scooter and so much just. because dude my mates are doing it and. it was just the coolest vibe to go down. the skate park have your mates learn new. tricks and then [ __ ] it yeah yeah yeah. so that's why i stick with the scooter. even though i got a lot of grief for it. yeah. and um and at school so it was just you. were you an only child yeah oh really. yeah oh wow yeah and so and you're did. was your mom like supportive of you.

doing this kind of stuff or did she. think it was dangerous or was she kind. of a rebel what was she like my mom so i. did i raced bmx like on the dirt track. like just racing like when i was like. younger than when i roll about it or at. the same time because my mum was like. best in queensland at racing bmx when. she was young she was like number one in. queensland and then she started when i. started again when she was like 30 and. then she was number one again so really. yeah my mom's my mom's crazy bring up a. picture of her again what's her name oh. i got the best one you do i got a best.

video search um mother verse. mega ant mum versus mega ramp i got my. mum to hit my mega grant no way yeah. swear i don't know what a mega ramp is. but i believe you i believe you i want. to i want to know more about it just. type in um oh yeah mom. oh yeah that one it's that one there. and then you're gonna have to skip in a. little bit. uh yeah yeah go back that's it go back. no no no a little bit further.

what actually what's your name. backpack sorry my mom's name is donna. look here we go see she doesn't look. that bad in a helmet who's on the back i. know she's dimed up that's my that's my. gecko. look at her go. going. she's had three beers too. yeah yes yes man. that australian breakfast dude yeah. are you crazy. see you could do that. legend oh i could do that definitely.

dude. i could definitely do that yeah donna's. throwing up [ __ ] signs dude the best. thing is she did it she did it again. like she was like that was it but she. was like i didn't go fast enough i want. to go higher yeah. so this is in your backyard at home yeah. yeah this is uh i just bought this land. it's called our willy land it's like an. action sports paradise for myself and i. just been like building ramps and uh. yeah just progressing action sports now. how so. okay a couple things here so how um. how.

how. how big is this uh our willy land uh. it's uh 40 acres okay but it used. because it used to be a mango farm oh. yeah they still got mangoes out there. yeah they just fall off the tree like. i'll be walking up to go to a trigger. mango just fall off and i'll just pick. it up oh australia. god it sounds good so good. oh come for the freaking dangerous. animal stay for the free fruit man. um. so you got this park and now how much. does this park kind of cost to that that. kind of space yeah so um i mean the.

land's like. over half a million for the land but. that's like. you know it's like that everywhere so. it's like that's general but the ramp is. like. 5 000 and then for that big air bag. thing like it's a bag jump and that. thing's like. cost me. like close to 50 grand wow yeah but then. i've got another one that's like a. landing so like you switch you go from. that that is what i practice my tricks. on and like you can land on like your. head and be kind of all right. and then um once you get you tricked out.

you switch it to the landing and then. you can like fully land the trick you. know like. claim the the new trick you know okay so. you would then move that out of that. space and put the ramp in that you know. you can land on yeah exactly wow is that. a crazy day oh man it is like it's i've. had it for like a year and a half now. and it's just insane because the best. thing is i have my mates from the. skatepark obviously i got great. opportunity with nitro circus you know i. got to ride these ramps and go to these. places and like progress myself but my.

mates obviously stuck at home they. didn't have anything like that so now. it's so funny to see the mates that i. grew up with like 10 years ago that. would just ride in the skatepark now. they're riding like this mega ram of. mine and doing tricks that like no one. else has done as well so they're. progressing and becoming the best writer. they can be because i've got it and it's. it's a trip as well because i get like. young scooter kids like 10 year old kids. coming in and doing double backflips and. i'm like what is even going on i was. like. i don't even know what i was doing when. i was 10. you're gonna see yeah like. they're passing you it's like oh yeah.

yeah it's like it's i'm sure it's. interesting to be a part of the um kind. of the movement in a way. um. okay so you get to this nitro circuit. let's go back and yeah a little so you. get onto this thing where you're going. now you're going to go tour in america. yeah so. you got to sign the video you've had. some videos that got out and you got. signed by nitrous circus yeah so i did. uh i got some of my nitro circus and the. first one was actually in australia and. it was just like. some company scooter heart they had paid. to like do advertising there and then.

nitro sex was like oh who who are some. scooter kids like up and coming scooter. kids that can come jump this ramp and i. was one of them and i just. on my first show i did like a world's. first double front flip on scooter and. then from then on it was like i was just. on and it was just. it was mind-blowing i was like oh like. this is insane and did you. so at this point do you have like a. girlfriend already at this point do you. have like yeah i think i did have a. girlfriend i was because i was in school. in that and um yeah and like obviously.

traveling and stuff it was hard but that. this is like when i'm 17. so it was like. a school a school girlfriend you know. right and were you like were you were. you becoming like a lot of pretty. popular in your area and stuff like that. oh yeah yeah definitely at the skate. park and like at school people knew i. was like fly i literally was doing. school monday to friday and then flying. out and doing a nitrous like a show and. then flying home you know and doing. schooling so it was like a trip. but yeah i was kind of a nerd in school. too so i finished school and got into. university but i didn't choose to do.

that now in australia do you have to go. to university you don't have to no you. can like drop out you can drop out early. i could have already been out of school. when i was doing nitro circus and just. being like a laborer right but. you can go to yeah. it's pretty it's like pretty. well we're sick yeah. it's so good man okay so then you get on. this tour and you guys start to come to. america is your mom like stoked for you. is she disappointed like is she bummed. that you're leaving like what are some. of her thoughts yeah um. she was like obviously she was worried.

at the start you know it's like i'm. risking my life kind of and like i could. get really hurt so yeah you're [ __ ]. around on a scooter. yeah yeah there's always until you make. it yeah and it's really professional. yeah whatever any child i think is doing. for their parent the parents always like. you're what the [ __ ] you know you're. [ __ ] around you know i want you to do. well but you're [ __ ] around here yeah. yeah for sure but until you really start. to do well and then she like gains she. obviously gained confidence in myself. and yeah uh i was pretty lucky with.

injury and just like being calculated. and not just like throwing myself out. there because that's always been the. biggest thing it's like we're not dead. it was like we are in a way but we're. all i'm like calculating the risk it's. like is it worth doing this is the. reward worth it yes okay send it oops. broke my leg. but it was worth it yeah but yeah um so. i was uh i got a nice circus and then. that's kind of when things started to. really blow up for me and that's like. when i started to really get a name and. then that just made me more stoked to be.

writing and like do better because i was. like man me having fun doing these. tricks that i love doing is like. progressing me through life this is like. a trip yeah. it is crazy when like your dream or. something that you're really putting. energy into that the world kind of meets. that. like like starts to like kind of push. that forward you're like what this is. crazy like why me like why do i get to. have this. like um. this. why does why do i get to be met this way.

by. the flow of life you know i think. honestly a huge thing for me too was. the fact that you did get i did get. grief for riding a scooter you know i. got bullied for riding a scooter by like. yeah other people was better oh probably. dude if i drove by i yelled something. but then that was like that's like sick. like whatever i just took it right on. the chin and was like i'mma be so good. that you can't not be impressed that. that was like that was it that's like. was my driving force like my fire in my. belly was like all right so you think.

that this is so bad that you can't be. cool well i'm gonna be so good that you. start to think it's cool right that you. can't help but think it's good yeah yeah. there's something nice about them wow. that's crazy you have that that desire. to be [ __ ] undeniable that desire to. like. prove people wrong even if it's just a. general yeah not even an exact person. but a general people um. and so and what about your mom does she. get remarried she got she got a man or. no yeah yeah she is now but that was a. while into it it's funny so my mom.

worked at a stray zoo i don't know if. you've ever heard of australia zoo yeah. i might have been over there i can't. remember you the one where you get to. hold the um the koala yeah the koalas. and everything they got all the birds. yeah yeah yeah they got a gang gang bird. over there actually yeah so she. worked there and then um met the tiger. the tiger handler and like yeah and then. now she's married to the tiger handler. damn he's petting that cat boy that's. insane dude sorry i know that's your mom. no that's chilling but that's you know. that's how it works that's really that's.

god bro. um she actually lives at my house today. so she does yeah so it's pretty cool. yeah well because so what happened was i. was when i was growing up obviously it. was hard for my mom and then um and your. dad was just gone he just was no he. wasn't gone he was like. he was just in a different state and it. was just like i thought it was it was. actually kind of cool because like i. didn't really know what was going like i. was so young it was like cool i get to. go on holidays i get to go down there. and like ride different skate parks sick. right so. yeah so that wasn't like it was fine my.

dad and i see my dad here and there and. i s my dad actually lives at the land. now so my dad my dad lives at the land. where and because he's an excavator. driver so i like employed him basically. to be the groundskeeper. right and then my mum lives at my house. that i live in like that's crazy that's. a trip so now they're almost all back on. the same area yeah yeah kind of yeah but. my mom stays away from me yeah yeah yeah. well she got what she needed out of her. yeah yeah. okay so once you get on some of these.

tours right so you get on are you on the. tours when you start to get onto some of. these nitrous circus right yeah is that. who's on these types of tours what types. of people is it oh yeah is it like a. carnival kind of like does it have that. vibe or at that time what was the vibe. like of it like was it really it was it. was pretty intense it was pretty gnarly. like when i first got on it was. it was like i don't know if you've ever. heard of the metal militia yeah that's. awesome that's right.

uh yeah brian deegan yeah yeah yeah i. spoke with them yesterday actually no. way yeah actually i called him i was. like hey tell me about this our willy. guy i was like you know just let me know. a little bit more you know but he said a. lot of nice things man yeah so they were. like. back in the day they were like pretty. gnarly so when i got on they were going. straight from like metal there was a few. metal militia guys on nitro circus but. nitrous circus was like steered towards. it was also it also had that like. gnarliness but it also had like the. family vibe like we had funny like. contraptions like we would literally we. still have it it's like we would have.

this with wheels on it and it jumps the. rant oh that's cool so it was like there. was that kid vibe as well like the. family vibe but so there really is like. a circus vibe to it in a way yeah yeah. kind of like a family circus like um. action sports vibe thanks bro. yeah cause the sir when i was a kid you. know what came to town sometime was the. circus barnums and bailey. two men i think one of them is a black. dude i don't know you never saw them men. but one of them had like a whip or. something yeah but they came to town and.

they would have like the tent you know. and they'd have the guy who would swing. and you know he would do a flip and then. catch the other bar and like then he. would light him on fire or something. swinging back they'd have an elephant. somebody do a back flip off an elephant. um. so you had like that was a that was like. a circus you know that was like a circus. that came to town they didn't have like. the crazy trick so but it was like a. rout was like ours is like a rowdy. circus because it was like these guys. are just like mischief so a lot of them. were like just mischiefs and then like.

now we're in the limelight like the when. i first got on it was it was pretty. crazy like the after parties were pretty. gnarly and i'm 17 years old damn so were. you going to these places is this some. of the first time you drank and stuff. you've been drinking with your mates and. stuff yeah i drank the i drunk a little. bit like in australia you drink pretty. young which is kind of like yeah yeah. you guys do everything dude yeah. when you guys get quick when you guys. die you're like i've done it yeah yeah. yeah for sure you guys get the most out. of the world it seems like yeah for sure. but um so yeah it was super it was.

pretty wild so you can you drink and. stuff at these parties afterwards are. you like it's pretty cool yeah yeah it. was chill like and because it was nitro. circus like. i would be able to drink and go out and. it was cool and it was just like wild. because these dudes were like. superstars and i was just like the. scooter kid it was actually kind of. funny. when i first got on nitro circus they. were like we want him out of our. skateparks we're going to let him jump. the ramp hopefully he crashes and like. hurts himself kind of deal like they. wanted me i was like a sideshow at the. start.

i was like the side show so i was like. but i didn't care i was 17 years old. like oh my god this is crazy and are you. guys you guys are on you're going on. tour buses what are you guys on um we. would fly but we also would do a tour. buses sometime but that was like when we. did europe tour so that was a little bit. later maybe two or three years into. doing the touring okay that's when we. got on the bus so you guys pull in like. a venue and it's like um is it outdoors. is it in stadiums like what kind of. venues are we talking what is it we've. done both so we did we did like um the.

staples center we've done madison square. gardens and that yeah that as well. that's when we do like a bus tour and. it's a trip because you do this massive. show like in front of ten thousand plus. people you party go to sleep on the bus. wake up in a different like state yeah. and then do it again yeah like three. sometimes three nights in a row damn bro. yeah yeah i just gotta we just got a. tour of us or we're getting our first. one starting this week. uh. next week or something yeah so i'm.

excited to have like a little bit of a. change of pace yes but yeah that thing. where you like leave late at night and. you just wake up and you're somewhere. else that's pretty cool. especially in europe it's like a trip. because i wake up in a different country. and it's like totally different you're. like what is going on it's like you had. like a weird dream and now you've tried. time traveled so had you finished school. so you're out doing this thing are you. graduating or no yeah so i just passed. schooling like primary uh high schooling. right and then uh and is it just like. chris lilly like in that show like in uh. in um.

uh what's that show called. oh chris lilly. you know he's like miss. look oh yeah yeah yeah um summer heights. high yeah somehow is it really like that. over there you know what it's kind of it. kind of is like it's not even a bad. representation yeah it's awesome yeah. i love that dude that was one of the. best things when i. tour in australia i got to meet chris. lilly and that was pretty cool yeah he's. a legend oh dude unprecedented that that. show over in australia that's like.

that's like one of the best shows yeah. everyone knows it's like a lot of people. here still don't know you chris have you. ever seen summer heights high. wow. you gotta watch it bro when somebody. hasn't seen it i get so jealous because. their life's gonna be so much better. it'll ch bro if your relationship's bad. sit down and watch that together i'll. watch it. there you go yeah. perfect very very very. good answer there um okay so you're on. this tour you guys are doing this tour.

you're like going to different cities. and stuff and that's in the u.s right. yeah it's your first time in the u.s u.s. and europe um. i did do like a little scooter trip like. when i was really young for the us but. the biggest like the actual tours and. the full-on experiencing the usa yeah it. was on nitrous circus tours on a bus and. and flying a lot has anybody ever paid. you to like a private party or something. like that like uh um i've done like cool. camps for kids and like done like um in. canada i went to this all in skatepark. and like just spent a week with kids and.

taught them it's pretty crazy actually. uh. i was filming youtube videos and these. kids were just so stoked that i would. like get so much content because these. kids would just send themselves and like. yeah i got some i got some wild clips of. these kids just sending it you know. really yeah. is this is are there times where you do. you ever meet a kid you're like oh that. kid's gonna die you know. yeah. yeah that's great yeah there's a few but. if you're like i'm like oh i think i'm. wild but these these kids dude you gotta. get a mark and put a little star on.

their shoulder or something you know i'm. saying just so yeah just watch out keep. tabs yeah yeah yeah. um. all right so once you really get to once. you like at this point your career is. going like are you. are they paying you like what is that. whole process like yeah so obviously. when i first got on nitro it was like i. i was 17 years old so i was it was great. money for then right happy to be there. yeah yeah oh yeah they give you a. thousand bucks a week you're like this. is amazing but then i think about three. years in that's when i was like making a. living you know or not even that.

actually probably probably a year after. starting with nitro then i was like okay. i can literally do this for a job wow. yeah and then eventually. like i bought my first house when i was. 21. damn and then yeah and then just. kept going from there like crazy to ride. a scooter and then like to make such a. good living it's just it's a trip yeah. one thing i noticed about you even in. watching some of your own uh. podcast clips and stuff is just like. your enthusiasm. and like you're kind of like.

just your excitement that this is your. life you know. like sometimes i embrace that stuff like. kind of cautiously like i'm almost. not ashamed of my life but sometimes i. get embarrassed that i make money or. embarrass that. you know have like. you know you seem to just kind of wear. it just kind of more like excited like i. can't believe i get to do this and this. is it yeah well i always just want to be. out of like i want to show like i want. to i want people to see that like you. can be a 12 year old scooter kid down.

the skate park like literally. you can be that kid and then make a. living out of it when no one really like. ever thought you would yeah so it's like. you can pave your own path it doesn't. matter if the path isn't there yet. you can make your own path. and then like that's why i'm like so. stoked i'm like right dude i'm here like. with you on your podcast and i've been. i've watched you for so long yeah and. then now i'm here and the reason i'm. here is just because. i'm so stoked to be riding a scooter and. i i literally am here because i didn't. listen to the person that told me that i.

couldn't do anything riding a scooter. right you know if i listen to that. person go. mate you're not going to do anything. right as good all the the thousands of. people that told me that actually if i. listen to even one of those people i. wouldn't be sitting here today right so. stoked with my life so it's like i just. want to inspire people to just keep. put pushing on and believing in whatever. you're doing it doesn't matter yeah. yeah no that's a unique gift you have. man because yeah it's like you make me. more stoked to be here today like i like. showed up dude and i was like excited.

you know because i'm a fan and i wanted. to learn i want to learn about you know. what you do and what goes into it and. stuff but then when i see you it's like. you're so excited i'm like. [ __ ] now i have to be more excited. because i have to meet you at a certain. level of excitement um where do you get. that from do you think you get that from. one of your folks actually. yeah i don't know actually um the people. around me like travis pastrana was a. huge inspiration to me and it wasn't. just because of the things that he's.

done like he's done amazing things. incredible things but and he's done. things that um other people could maybe. do now but the thing is. that inspires me about travis astronaut. is the fact that he can bring the best. out of the people around him. when he the funniest thing we're on tour. right now with nitro circus and. we we're doing the show and he's not at. the shows and then he turned up for one. show and that show was like the best. show we did because of the energy that. he brings and just the level he just. lifts you to a new level like just with.

his presence yeah and like that's what. inspires me that's what i'm trying to. reach now it's like. can i. be that guy that when this good kids. like when the scooter kids around me bmx. kids around me they. just get that little extra like boost. you know let's see how he can do he's. here yeah how can i be that guy that is. the cool i think that is like the. coolest thing about travis astronaut and. that's like what inspires me to. just be stoked yeah for many people in. the u.s of america concerned about the.

everybody he's like everyone's best. friend and that was the trippiest thing. for me when i got on nitro circus was. the first show i'm on this scooter kid. and i do this well first and i remember. after i did it i was like so stoked but. the biggest thing i remember from that. day is riding back to the the start ramp. and travis high fived me and gone dude. that was sick like that was so cool and. i was like wow. i was like wow like this is insane that. this guy that i. hold up like this like i've held up.

inspired me to even start. for him to just give me. that it was like it was like a a year's. worth of excitement in one second wow. yeah yeah it's so amazing man when you. have like somebody that you really. idolize or you really put on a pedestal. and they have a little bit of time for. you or they have like an encouragement. that really helps you know man the power. of that is almost unprecedented really i. think i think that and i always keep. that in mind because we obviously do.

these nitro sega shows and it's like. there's thousands of people there and. like. kids will want to come get a photo take. a picture get an autograph it's like and. that's what i always remember i always. remember like. five seconds of travis pastrana's time. was like a year's worth of just. excitement for me so it's like if i can. give a kid five seconds of my time and. that it means that much to him i'm gonna. give that kid that five seconds every. single time you know yeah keeps you. stoked and so y'all show so so you said.

you hit a first trick and that was on. one of the nitrouses on one of the yeah. yeah so it was just it was a double. front flip on scooter and like no one. had ever tried it and what you did we. saw earlier was a triple triple yeah so. yeah so that evolved obviously into that. triple yeah and did you start to when. you got on the tour um. prepping for that trick you'd already. done it in practice. um i had tried so when i first got on. the show i tried it in practice and. crashed it twice okay so that's what. made the moment so special is that like. it was my first show i'm obviously like.

it's so excited like and so nervous but. to ace that trick it was like it was. like something happened like it was like. the trajectory of my life just went. damn and i was like okay i'm i'm doing. it wow. damn. you must feel like there's like a higher. power or something that has a hand in. that when you because it just the. science and everything to like. flip off of something and just have it. be perfect in a moment where it's like. in a real show yeah well that's i think.

that that's where i've done really well. like i never think that i'm someone that. is physically built better or like wired. better than anybody else i think i just. managed to. like succeed when it's most important. it's like at x games it's like i need to. do land this trick now and then i'll. just land it you know. but. i i obviously do the preparation but for. some reason it's just sick to. in moments of when i need to do it i got.

it done and i think that's the main. reason why i got to where i am today and. it's like. it's. it's a gift i mean it's yeah it almost. feels like you're favored. in some sense yeah i would ever say and. i just thank. whatever the driving force is thank you. and i try to thank it every day and i. try to give back like my positivity to. the people around me because maybe. that'll turn their trajectory you know. maybe that'll do you know that one. moment might change their life and they. might do something. better and be better in the end you know.

so yeah. no man it's inspiring even sitting with. you makes me feel a little bit better. than when i wasn't sitting with you. thanks and to be honest i think. you got to give yourself some. appreciation too i think that you i mean. you probably realize like i'm sure a lot. of people like ride in and tell you how. like happy you make their lives and i'm. sure you you make people's day so like. much better just by listening to your. talk and i think that's. amazing and i think that's that's why. you deserve to be paid for what you do. and like you work hard so it's like. you deserve it i think yeah yeah it's.

funny sometimes i have a tough time. thinking that i deserve things you know. and i don't know where that comes from i. think it comes from. i don't know i i'm trying to find you. just gotta find it yeah yeah yeah it's. another try to it takes a while. sometimes to find things like that when. you're really trying to figure out where. they're from you know yeah for sure but. yeah i've always struggled feeling like. i deserve stuff you know um but that's. okay i hope to be able to figure it out. and i'm sure that i will. yeah. what uh so you get in so when do you. when do you get into.

like. like at some point you won you won a. couple of competitions right i know i. read this but. um and deegan was talking with me about. it but. uh. so what happened like that was kind of. like another thing that changed. yeah so they um the shows are huge and. then they had a thing called nitro world. games and it was like a competition now. so they changed the the show. changed into a competition that was. obviously the x games right and that was. a huge one that i wanted to do but. obviously i was like a scooter rider and.

a bmx rider at a certain point it's a. funny funny story actually so i rode bmx. at the skatepark here and there but it. wasn't like my profession right right. and then at nitro circus. i was doing tricks on a scooter that had. never been done on a bmx bike. so wait hold on so you're doing tricks. on a scooter. that's never been done on a bmx yeah yes. okay you can do the same you can do the. same tricks obviously just a different. vehicle but so i was doing tricks that i. could do on a scooter that no one had. ever never done on bmx and so did.

someone challenge you to do it on the. bmx that's it they were like the only. reason you can do this is because you're. on a scooter and i was like you know. what i reckon that's not true. and i ended up borrowing one of their. bikes like one of the other guys on two. i borrowed their bike and i did the. trick first i think i was like first try. did it and then. that's when like i was like. here we go x games dream i can reach it. like all i have to do is bring these. scooter tricks over to the bmx world.

because no one's doing it for some. reason because they think it's lame or. something right and i'm like oh well. i don't mind i'll just do the lame. tricks then. i'll just be the lame legend yeah sorry. if you need me i'll be in lame land. right here yeah drinking lemonade baby. i'll be up there dog damn. that's beautiful dude so now at that. point did you win that thing yeah so i. won the nitro world games um the first. year it happened i actually lost on the. scooter competition and won the bmx. competition which was kind of hilarious.

and then came back the next year and i. won scooter and bmx yeah and then i. think it was like the year after i. finally got on x games and then. yeah i've won three x games gold's now. has anybody won three x games gold or no. so. yeah people have won like travis has won. so many i think he's got like some of. the most but like that's they're up like. in the 20s you know but that i think so. i did accomplish something recently. i uh won the i was the first person to.

do three golds in a row. in on the mega ant so if for some reason. for 20 years it had never happened that. a person had consecutively won three. gold medals in a row on the mega ramp. and it made me so nervous because i was. coming to the i was coming into the. third one like oh here we go like time. just kept repeating itself i think like. five people before me had won it twice. and then they lost this the third time. so i was like here we go so the third. time do is that is there a video there. yeah um you go. uh.

x games ryan williams x games. um. [Music]. 2018 i think. on 19. try. i'll tell you straight away nah nah go. go 19. not that one the. uh that one the real cost big air but. it's a full broadcast go go the second. you go to the next one down. yeah try that one real quick.

wow that's so hot. so this isn't my winning run but you'll. see like. wait is this it no this is if i crash. it's not it. no. no uh. that doesn't. keep skipping in sorry oh hang on this. is going to play all of them this is. good this is good actually. so keep it rolling um. so that was this is the first time i won. and this was in australia so my first.

time ever won x games was in australia. my whole family there i i paid for. everyone to fly down and stay there and. it was oh it was like so incredible. because that was like my dream achieved. you know a gold medal at the x games oh. man it's it's not this one though go. back to. go back to the. the search click the dude you have at. that point you have the haircut of every. i feel like kind of middle-aged woman in. the town that i'm from a little bit. honestly. at that point dude i know i had to i had.

to dial it back dude i don't know what i. was doing yeah you were going big dude. but you had a total k it was like a real. caring kind of haircut i feel like at. that point it's hard to beautiful though. very nice try the. try the second one. i really want to show you this one. because this is i had yeah this is it. this is it this is it i had to do the. craziest thing at the start this was the. gnarliest thing i've ever done i've. never done a backflip drop-in and. wow yes and then i know he missed up the. ramp i wrote up like. the tiniest part of the rant and then.

i'm like here i'm like oh gosh i gotta. land this guy in this gotta land that's. gonna land that's gonna land this did it. oh man and it was. it was such a trip because everyone was. doing so well yeah i was i was stoked. wow. can we go back once it'll it'll be a. slow-mo replay i think yeah yeah. yeah look how stoked you are man you. gotta carry your own bike down well do. you think someone's gonna run up and. just bring it down at that point yeah it. sounds sort of concierge yeah you can. see.

so you've never done that no and what. made you do that can we just pause it. right there i want to win the third row. dude i have oh so you're thinking what. can i do that'll be different i need to. do it yeah not like guys are doing. tricks into it morgan wade he like did a. double tail whip into it and like guys. are 360 into it so they were stepping it. up and i knew that i had to do something. that like had never been done before to. get the win like they weren't going to. give it to me easily so i was just like. i have to just do this did you feel like. you had extra pressure to try and get. away like they were going to judge you. even more harsh because you already had.

two in a row like it's a little bit. tougher to get the third one yeah i had. to i had to send it like i wasn't. holding back and i i would have just. done it anyway like even if i like in. the moment it was for dave dave mirror. so. he he passed away recently and um yeah. and he actually the was the first guy i. ever seen do a backflip drop in so i was. like when i'm at the top i'm actually. like this is for you dave oh this is for. you mira as i'm at the top and then i. just hacked it man and it was crazy like. it's like moments like this the moments.

like this is the it just trips me out. and then i nearly wrote off the side of. the ramp going like this is obviously. one of my it was one of my signature. tricks that i brought from the scooter. world right. wow so there you go. that's called a nothing front bike flip. of course it is. or two we twisted the the. inside joke until that and then here so. you lean that energy forward kind of but. not yep all the way no i have to be. really light though right because that. ramp's 27 and a half foot tall so it's. like if you it come off at all like you.

are hurting yourself real bad. yeah so. here's a trip man. so what and where do they measure the uh. the ramps from where do they measure. that 27 feet where do they start that so. from the where it starts to go up so. from the bottom of the ramp to the. coping which is the metal like part. across that's like 27.5 foot and i think. it's like there's some two foot of it or. something so vert is just straight up. okay. and so uh. when you. when you. get to like the peak of the ramp right.

you have to be careful not to drift. forward well literally oh you don't yeah. you don't know for it's real it's harder. to go into the ramp than it is it's easy. to come out like the thing okay i could. that's the scariest part about that ramp. is you're going so fast that literally. if i went like this. if i went like that right i would go. 16 i would go so far out the flat that. would break my legs jesus damn bro so. that's why in that moment man i am like. that is the most wide i've ever been in.

my life is when i'm doing that i'm like. if i don't do the right thing right now. i'm gonna get really really hurt okay so. you're going up you're heading up the. ramp what is the right thing at that. point like what's the right amount of. so i'll i'll go up it's just it's kind. of like. it's like the riding with your eyes. closed you get built it gets built into. you yeah like i know that this will do. this right so it's like i remember i. just i just remembered that i'd done i'd. landed the that trick before the the.

front flip one so i knew okay this is. what i have to do. i'm going really fast but. i just got to like chill it's almost. like i just float off the ramp so i. wrote up and i just go to like i don't i. don't want to initiate it's not like the. triple front flip total opposite right. you're not trying to just initiate a lot. of i'm lucky i'm like this like. literally i'll pretend i'm doing it. right now i'm going out and i'll go like. this. like that like that. and then you just. and then you just hold on baby you're on.

the roller coaster with no you're not. strapped in is your eyes open or not. yeah eyes are wide open. but you don't at the start it's kind of. blind because i'm looking at the sky you. know i'm not looking at the ground and. then i'll be looking at the ground. that's kind of the scariest part of that. trick okay because. for a second off for a second i'm like. am i out am i on top of the ramp or am i. perfectly transitioned into coming in. and i like look you can see like i so i. go oh and then i see i'm blind see i'm. like looking at i was looking at the. roof for a bit and then all of a sudden.

as i'm coming down i look okay now i'm. coming in i'm not landing flat i'm not. hitting the top of the ramp i'm coming. in smooth that would be and that's. that's the fear that's the moment when. you're like i'm gonna land it this way. wow yeah because i've already played it. through the simulator right yeah and i'm. like this is what i'm expecting to see. and then that moment i seen that. there we go let's roll away damn bro. that's fire. wow. i wish i know how to do something like. that.

well whenever i come to queensland dude. i'm gonna have to go to our willy uh to. our willy land yeah and go on uh. and do something through the truck dude. i'll keep the trucks there for you my. mom's try no i need something better. than that oh yeah okay i think so dude. yeah look. the trike look oh all respect to your. mom you know all respect to donovan she. obviously. [ __ ] has done her work you know but. i think what's next up from a trikey. thing. oh that'd be a bmx bike could someone.

handle that or not is that yeah like a. mountain bike it's kind of pretty sturdy. okay and you just go off it really hurt. a bike huh that's what i was gonna ask. you have you ever done an extreme sport. um like skateboarding or anything like. rolled around. a lot of skateboarders boss just really. were just doing drugs you know they. owned the boards but there was mostly. just for you know setting their drugs on. while they would roll them up. but we didn't have a lot of i'm trying. to think if we had extreme sports bus. yeah we had these guys that used to. shoot these potato gun like uh.

they had like a rest area bus i don't. know if they have it on and maybe in. australia your whole country is like a. rest area actually but it's like a rest. area is like a place where you stop on. the side of the interstate when you're. driving yeah yeah and people like uh get. out to use the restroom and drink water. change the baby you know. you usually have a cigarette and then uh. get back in the van and keep going you. know sometimes beat the kids or whatever. but um if they've been bad yeah yeah but. not uh but anyway by us there was a. there was one of those and behind it.

they had a river. and a lot of gay men would meet up at. these places because it was like a um. you know it was like on the outskirts of. town some gay men would meet up over. there and. you know do drugs and make out and stuff. yeah and. across the river that's where i lived so. a lot of men over there some would not a. lot but they had these two guys that. would make like potato these potato gun. launchers yeah and if like a lot of like. like real high men were making out or. something they would shoot potatoes over.

near them oh no way pretty messed up i. mean they weren't trying to endanger. them or anything i think they just. didn't want to surprise them yeah i. think they just didn't want them doing a. lot of drugs and making out in the water. they didn't want anybody to drown. because some men had drowned okay so it. was almost like lifeguarding a little. bit but but that was like the most. extreme sport i ever saw was people with. these potato guns you know yeah um. i think anyway you've read a bike. yeah i rode a bike yeah but i never. really thought much of it we used to. build the ramp you know somebody always. liked the ramp like was a poorly built.

and this part would come out and then. somebody the handlebar would turn and. went into some guy's body one time i. remember yeah but pretty [ __ ] we were. pretty pretty [ __ ] ex-gamers. oh well that's right but i think i could. probably get out there i would love to. get out there and try that would be sick. i could i could teach you like safely to. do it too yeah you say we could get you. flying yeah i think i'd be willing to. um so what is like that what does the. future of this whole sport kind of look. like like. what's what is a a mechanism like not.

the bike or the scooter what's something. that came out that people thought was. going to be like the next thing that. people were going to use for tricks that. kind of didn't make it was there. have there been. kind of died off now like rollerblades. are like pretty big. back when i started doing it it was kind. of like still around and still in the x. games but then rollerblading's just. dropped off a fair bit but there's still. insane dudes doing the rollerblades. maybe like a rip stick i don't know like. that's kind of like you know what a rip. stick is the one where you people go. like this you get speed it's like one.

wheel and it goes like that let's see. that can we pull that up a rip stick. it's kind of like a weird yeah. oh yeah you seen that thing i think i've. seen this i think that i think that you. might find this a bit like even worse. than uh rollerblading. yeah. i love it all. if you want to ride a ripstick man ride. a ripstir. yeah. actually it looks pretty fun actually. yeah. i think uh. yeah i'm trying to think we had like a.

role a place called roller kingdom bus. where we'd have all our birthday parties. yeah and uh. dude this one kid. this kid jeremy who we were buddies with. at the birthday parties he would go and. get all the gum from like under the. tables and make a huge like and by the. end of the birthday party he would be. chewing the biggest gum dude he was. twisted bro that's crazy oh he was so. twisted dude he did it every [ __ ]. time bro. he just had this ultimate thing of gum. dude. and his nobody would even his parents i.

guess weren't paying attention to him. because. when they came to pick him they wouldn't. even ask him he couldn't even open his. mouth one time he had so much [ __ ]. government he's just breathing through. his nose and his mom's like you're doing. great jeremy you know. so [ __ ] that's the next game right. now that's pretty yeah that's pretty. extreme yeah so that's it that's the. kind of extreme sports that we had. nice a bit more like that um. was there was there what about that the. motorized thing that i see with the one. wheel in the middle yeah that thing's.

wild um i've seen some people lately. doing some pretty crazy jumps on that i. think things just keep evolving and like. there's so many crazy just sports just. people like ride a pogo stick. professionally yeah and i kind of think. that's like. i can't say anything like it's great. like i just appreciate it like whatever. if you if you find it fun man just just. do it but it's pretty wild that like you. can be a professional pogo sticker yeah. yeah i wonder if they could do like a. poker stick with like a wheel on it i. wonder if they could do. what about hilly's.

you know healings yeah they dropped off. yeah they did drop you know there was. one. there used to be soap shoes they called. and they people literally would have. grime plates on their shoes and they. wouldn't and they would just run and. jump and grind downstairs that's one. that's 100 dropped off but people were. doing it. soap soap shoes. soap s-o-u-p yeah i think that's soup. soap s-o-a-p. yeah that's super so. you see any chris.

i think i've seen some dudes do some. pretty. like gnarly rails on it yeah yeah so. that's mostly for rail slides and stuff. like that this is a full movie look at. this i think i've seen part of this it's. hilarious soap or die. ryan what. damn you didn't even know that there's. like there that'd be right i moved to. the uk and there he is here look this is. it see on the rail man. ah so the shoes have just like a place. in the middle plate wow. yeah this is one that didn't take off.

well it it like i guess it had a time. for like a year and then i don't know. now i guess because once you land you. can't like then you just run i don't. know right i think they like run off. it's like that free running you know. yeah parkour yeah and that's that never. really took off but people still do it. and that's just kind of like just. running around yeah like it's like. practicing running away from like. yeah something yeah like i'm gonna trick. the cops or something or like it's. almost like athletic uh. a lot of parkour people i think are.

athletic um. graffiti it's like it's like a little it. seems like a side like a. hustle yeah for graffiti people yeah. like i'm gonna paint this later but. watch first i'm going to run you know. i'm going to run around with this yeah. i feel like that could actually be. pretty cool if they're free running. incorporated with graffiti like they do. graffiti on the run. yeah i wonder if there's a way where. they as they went up like say they go up. a ramp right or a vert what does that. call it he has a rant a rant yeah so.

then if they had a wall while they're up. there and like each time they went up. they had to paint something and then by. the end of like you know after six times. it going up then they had like a piece. of art up there. just trying to think do you see. something as being like the next thing. because something always kind of comes. along like you're saying it's like you. know a new mode of transportation comes. along and then that's what um. i don't know um like the thing you got a. cycle as a unicycle yeah people. literally do tricks on that i think. it's crazy these days anything can just.

become something you know it's like. tick tock is now huge when five years. ago i didn't like i didn't even know. what that was yeah you know it's just. like the niche it's just something. happens and then it just sticks. they're just throwing [ __ ] at the wall. and then just sticks and like oh. everyone's like [ __ ] i want to throw. [ __ ] at that [ __ ] at the wall too yeah. why do australians why are you guys such. a practice facility for insane [ __ ]. it's out of you guys in new zealanders. it always is i feel like yeah i don't. know i guess it's in our heritage but um.

i guess we've just all we're always just. being that kind of loose cannon vibe and. then it's just stuck like i'm super. proud to be australian and when i think. of an australian i think of like someone. that's just like outgoing gonna try. something like crazy yeah you know just. for no i don't even know why we just do. it it's like just built into us yes. blockovic is here he's in new zealand. block a [ __ ]. uh no he's the ufc guy you know what i'm. talking about yeah yeah jan blockovich.

isn't he european he's european he was. new z i thought he was there's israel. out of sanya who's new yeah there's izzy. there's dan hooker who i love yeah rob. funny man robert whittaker australian oh. really. the guy that was a shooter yeah dude i. almost got to meet him at the uh poirier. fight yeah sick yeah he's a freaking. those guys are great is there um. do you feel like uh. do you feel like there's like a next. level for you do you feel like. do you ever feel like.

you've kind of achieved all that you can. or what do you yeah yeah. sometimes actually that's one thing that. kind of gets to me sometimes is that. like why am i doing this you know you. like look around and. you you see like people that have like a. job that is caring like you care that. cares for someone or they look after. someone and you're like wow that like. really matters like you're a doctor that. like really really helps someone and. then sometimes i'm like well i'm just. here just spinning around doing circles. and like people like to watch it but. like what am i really bringing yeah and. that sometimes that gets to me because.

i'm like why am i risking it myself to. just do these like stunts. when like what are they really achieving. but. they do it like people are inspired by. it to do anything they might even just. be inspired to like go harder in their. life and whatever they're doing so it's. like yeah and i'm sure you see kids that. remind you of yourself probably yeah 100. and that's why i like i'm always pushing. and the craziest thing is like the. tricks i'm doing. i was doing 10 years ago everyone's. doing now like so it's like i think the.

same way like whatever i'm doing now. whatever i do to push the limits here. today. that's just gonna make action sports. even crazier like in the long run you. know it's just gonna level up action. sports so the harder i can go. the harder it's gonna like the crazier. it's gonna be in the future i think. is there a chance so you see sometimes. you would see like that man drops in. from outer space or something with the. red bull stuff you know the guy you know. danny whatever his name is he jumps off. of something and lands you know. is there a way that you could do like a. drop into a ramp but from like an.

insanely high pla like off of a building. and then still hit the. like land it yeah yeah come in at a. certain place on the ramp where you. could still then go do something or. something yeah so there's that's crazy. like that i'd love to do something like. that i've always imagined like maybe. doing a trick like a world's first or. something new across two buildings or. something like that but. robbie madison is a guy that did. he jumped onto the luge i think or. something like i think it was just the. one in vegas though like the it's like. the building with the archway he like.

jumped up it and then turned around and. then jumped off into iran wow yeah. robbie madison so. did he really can we look at that real. quick you. yeah it was wild. it's like and are there a lot of i feel. like there'd be a lot of vietnamese kids. doing this is there like a lot of asian. kids that do this sport do you notice. bmx is popping off in japan because they. just had the olympics and this like logo. shout out to logan martin he won the. olympic gold medal the first ever bmx.

olympic gold medal oh because it was the. first time they ever had bmx in the. first time i had bmx first time out of. skateboarding yeah this is it. so he jumps up. right yeah which is gnarly so gnarly. and then he turns around he almost goes. too far. there's his hopefully it's his girl yeah. tripping out if not at somebody somebody. definitely is gonna try and get child. support i don't know that's for sure. just make it in the video wow can you. imagine looking down from here bro look.

at that oh my god that makes my freaking. penis just go inside of my body dog dude. that's a that's funny that you say that. that sometimes i'm riding if i'm really. concentrating i can feel like my dick. shrinking. that's cool. i think it's like a defense mechanism oh. yeah your dick's like you might be doing. this i'm not. oh yeah they got her really really. scared they got oh he's up there looming. now do you feel like he's totally. confident at this point he's just kind.

of this is for sure i mean it's just. he's just got to do it you got to be. confident if you're not confident it's. like that's where you're going to get. it's going to go wrong you have to have. 100 belief in yourself jesus i could. never do that. i've never done that my whole life dude. yeah he's got it he goes too far too. nearly dies. oh yeah you see. like just catching the very bottom. bro that was lucky that was really close.

do you think he made it that close on. purpose or not that was an accident that. was he he did not want to do that he. didn't want to go far because like. if he went i meet him more oh yeah. that's bad news bears yeah. like you're saying you got to come in. where there's enough of that yeah if you. don't catch the. transition yeah then you're. pancaking yeah do you feel pretty proud. of yourself a lot of times you able to. feel that kind of stuff. um. yeah when i when i achieve something. that i've really wanted to do for a long.

time i'll feel that but that's just like. that's one problem that i have is just. it's like under the necks it's like you. it's hard to sit and smell the roses. when you just i'm just so passionate. about it and it's like why stop when i. don't have to or when i am able to just. keep going just. it's hard for me to sit back and go whoa. sick i'm rad yeah yeah yeah. yeah and maybe because i think at some. point in some ways there's not a ton of. value in it i think there's value in. like having appreciation for what you're. doing and like recognizing it yeah but.

yeah to sit there and just smell the. roses you know you got to keep watering. them too so it's like. um i'll just always find that kind of. interesting uh is there a trick or. something you have your eyes kind of set. on is there like a new template or a new. like. mode or something you're trying that you. see yourself maybe being able to. like a new type of ramp is there things. that you think of sometimes that you. well obviously it'd be so cool to do. something like that like something out. there and just different not just a new.

variation of a trick you know but. there's tricks that i have that i on my. trick list that i want to do that are. like going to be that really next level. like i want to do i really want to do a. a triple backflip 360. so. like so three flips with us with a spin. in it now when okay so say you're doing. that when do you start to incorporate. the spin so about i wouldn't nearly do. it at the very start but it's going to. be so i would do like a. a flip with a 180 turn and then a a flip.

with a 180 turn and then the last one. would just be straight. ah i see so you would do a flip and a. one and then flip one and then just. straight oh interesting. yeah um when you guys go out on some of. these tours did is it is the partying. pretty good who parties better like. people on the on the uh on the nitro. circus tour or australians in general do. you think. probably um i mean australian's probably. so hard but i feel like everywhere. party's pretty hard like america these. get pretty wild like you've reached a.

point where he's just going like go mad. but i think on tour it's so insane. because. we're all like super passionate you know. it's it's everyone is like at the. pinnacle of their sport action sport so. they're like. you know they're like the boss skate. like if you went to a skate park there's. that one kid that's like like insane and. then like if you hand pick like the best. ones join them into a group like a. circus and that's what you get like we. all are like. can't have adhd i guess well and we're. all just super passionate so so is there. a lot of partying as much as or do you.

hear stories that used to be more. partying because with comedy you always. hear stories like people were doing. cocaine right here and now people are. doing their taxes you know what i'm. saying it's just like gotten hella. [ __ ] lame dude yeah it's it's changed. a lot for us too because i'm the. youngest on tour so and i'm 27. so. and you but it used to be like everyone. else's. 20s like in their 20s 20 in their 30s. but now they all have families and like. kids so it's like mellowed out a lot but. in a way that's a good thing and a bad. thing because we're all like smarter.

wiser doing making the right decisions. you know you're not getting drunk and. then potentially like riding the next. day hungover and hurting yourself yeah. but there's guys on tour that literally. will just. drink into oblivion then wake up and. just triple backflip and like like it's. nothing like that you have the rockstar. dude still doing that and. at moments that's the rockstar's still. there like yeah if you drink seeing. everyone's kind of a rock star again is. that your vibe really or no yeah. yes and no like i definitely love to.

have fun go out and like party and i had. a few drinks at the laugh factory last. last night but yeah it would have been. weird for me to like go party and then. go do a show because i. i have a younger following too and i. want to be a hundred percent like when i. do a show i feel like a lot of people. i'm representing scootering i'm. representing action sports to like. families and kids just in terms of. representing scootering is so insane. it's so great though man it's so great. to think of something that yeah you. would see some like yeah you see some.

kid on and you're like oh [ __ ] this kid. you know 10 years ago well that's it. like then now i'm sitting here enamored. by this kid you know so it's really. interesting man that was like my goal. ever since the start man i was like what. can i do like scootering literally gave. me my life like this amazing life so. right i give my life to scootering like. what could i do. to stop that kid at the skate park. getting. grief like i did yeah so he can just. enjoy it you know and just even though. it was probably a good thing for me.

that's the thing that's i always wonder. it's like we all we want to stop all the. bullying but [ __ ] dude if i didn't get. bullied some dude i would not. that that's how you even get any gun. yeah so it's interesting but i know what. you're saying you want them to know that. there's an outlet you want to be yeah. available for inspiration and they're. always everyone's always it's always. going to be that bullying's always going. to be around it's just you've got to. harden yourself i got it so bad in. school like and then i got it so bad at. the skate park and it like almost built. this hard shell around my body that it.

was like i don't like it bounces off me. right everything bounces off oh dude. i'll drive any playground i drive by. dude if i'm by myself i roll down the. window and yell a damn little slur or. something you know what i'm saying to. get somebody fired up yeah. something where somebody's out there. that it's like what is it is that about. me uh i better get my [ __ ] together. yeah for sure you gotta drop a little. something um. um. what is the next so say you took a. scooter yeah and you made it cool. what is something else that's kind of.

shitty that you could take and make it. [ __ ] awesome bro. and if you guys have ideas in there too. chris let us know what is the next thing. that ryan could take. that is it's like a challenge. hypothetically not shitty and i. shouldn't have said that man that's kind. of an offensive way to say it but. but something that people would see i. couldn't see this being a mode to become. amazing yeah. i wonder what else is out there. i know it's kind of like um video gaming.

as well that was kind of like a lot like. people like what professional video game. players. oh. bro yes. dude that travel what is that thing. called i have no clue chris what is that. thing suitcase scooter oh yeah. bro if you could do a something on that. and then open it and take something out. and maybe. i mean i'm just thinking can we what if. you do that thing where like sometimes. people want to be cool when they're. handicapped and they get that little. like knee thing that little uh oh yeah.

yeah when they have a cast on yeah it's. like just use crotch as your [ __ ] man. use some crotches man i'm gonna have to. get that that'd be perfect for the the. airport just cruising around oh dude. especially to see you on it would be. legendary like what did that guy just do. did that dude just [ __ ] do a 670. through tsa. um. yeah what other can you pull that back. up that thing's pretty that was pretty. great actually oh. oh that thing we talked about that yeah. you see these things around what about.

the lime scooters like they're. everywhere now yeah and people are. hurting themselves. everybody it gets real bad fast on limes. oh look at this what is going on. oh that's definitely a poland. they'll do anything over there. what is going on. the thing is this thing doesn't turn or. twist you can't like you could only just. spin it like this guy's doing like. swirls but.

that's that looks expensive yeah that. looks pricey that looks like that's kind. of cheating because the other tricks. built in but i could see that becoming. something yeah. people taking these things and actually. doing oh segway they dropped off i guess. because they were like why do we have. handlebars we can just have the bottom. part yeah like hoverboards remember. those came in for ages and then mike. tyson got like dropped wait is that the. one that be uh that justin was pushing. probably.

there's like a video of mike tyson on. one. dude he falls so hard you gotta watch it. mike tyson on a hoverboard right and. he's looking alright. and yeah he gets. he gets dropped. yeah watch. like one of those solid falls too look. oh yeah it's sweet dude you got it. oh. damn i've never seen that bro. you know your sport is one interesting.

thing that guys like you know i was. doing this um. you know guys like. people can't just come into your sport. and do it. yeah to a certain extent that's why a. lot of that's why scooter's actually got. um grief from people because it's it's. so accessible like you can you could. jump on a scooter right now i could i. could get you to the skate park you. could drop in like a kid can do it so. easily so it's it's just so accessible. that. like little kids just grab it and they. go you know they have no direction so.

they're at the skate park dropping in. and just like getting in the way because. they're just there by themselves that's. all they know they don't know what to do. they don't know the rules yeah and. that's kind of like where we get the bad. rep is because it's so accessible and. kids can just do it instantly and be in. the road and not be like looking out. having skatepark etiquette and that's. kind of gave us a bad rap but it's like. you could do the same thing if. a kid only had a skateboard and he would. do the same thing like just roll around. but it's super hard it's not easy to. just get a skateboard skateboard and. drop in like it takes you a few weeks to.

get comfortable to do something and in. those weeks you get told by your friends. hey don't do this don't do that you. gotta wait for this person it's like an. intersection you know yeah you know. yeah uh do you see yourself getting. anything motorized you did you ever feel. like that vibe yeah but it's just so. dangerous man i flipped the motorbike. though travis. travis pastrana's but it it's gnarly. dude that they're so heavy and it's so. wild i've seen we just had last weekend. um our beau bamboo we've done like 20.

shows and he fell once broke his. collarbone like in one crash so it's. just like instantly if you fall off a. motorbike it's like you're done yeah. you're like gonna break something. whereas i can fall off get up go try. again like a hundred times motorbike. crash once have you broken a lot. i've been so lucky like compared to the. guys on tour i'm super lucky i haven't. had a surgery yet um only fr i fractured. my ankle. my. both wrists um separated my shoulders. smashed my teeth out fractured my skull.

twice oh yeah some of that's just being. australian yeah yeah true 50 is probably. just being australian. um did you watch love on the spectrum. no the australian show the autism. i've heard about that no i haven't seen. it yet. makes me want autism man that makes want. to be australian yeah yeah that's a good. mix yeah it's a and it's a very neck and. neck mix as well yeah you know um. but it's such a good show man um.

i'm trying to think of any other. questions that i could think of that i. really wanted to ask you about. um. [Music]. yeah what do you feel like is like. oh dude they have like a lot of like uh. what is what is the babes like how much. babes is out there do they have a lot of. like kind of like. do a lot of the guys and marian girls. that they meet at the track is it that. kind of a universe um it seems like kind. of. like i know it's a big world but i know. it seems like a very specific group.

it takes a certain person to like want. to be with like an action sports athlete. it's like kind of like you you're going. to be risking it with them like i'm sure. you'd be nervous like i couldn't do it a. chick that's into action sports like i'm. sure i could but i would be like. freaking out man i can't watch a chick. that's one thing i could watch a dude. slam all day laugh at it yeah. but a chick like falling over i'm like. no. stop. please don't do that so um i can imagine. like it'd be hard but yeah you get you.

get tricks coming out i think it's more. the confidence thing like we're just. like so confident in our ability it. doesn't matter if i'm writing a scooter. they're just like this guy really likes. riding his scooter and he doesn't care. so that's right that's it yeah i think. it's confidence if anything you'd be. playing a damn kazoo dude yeah you know. if you're louis armstrong on that [ __ ]. and the ladies will show up. um where are better ladies you think in. the u.s or australia have you found. or do you have a question it is a hard. question but do you have a do you have a. type of woman you think or that you like. one of the other you american or.

australian. no no ty it's just like it's like. whoever is just cool you know like um. australian women are a bit like. obviously a bit crazy so maybe i'd gel. better with the crazier yeah i love. australian women man yeah i always. dreamed of maybe going to australia. finding me a little wife or something. little quacker you know a couple. quackers. um. i don't know if did we i feel like we. covered a lot do you feel like that ryan. yeah i think it was i think i've just. been constantly talking so that's it. yeah good pump dude yeah i'm glad i.

don't have to speak it's good oh dalia. got up you saw dalia get up that was. cool was that a surprise you know yeah. no i had no clue and like i had been. talking to him because we obviously have. the we have nitro circus in san. bernardino and i was like oh dude gives. you tickets and he's like he was like i. don't know what my one-year-old's gonna. do is he gonna just like not even. understand i was like just get him head. like you gotta get the headphones. because the uh. the bike's pretty loud but you'll be. sick to have him out it was sick to to. see him doing some stand up yeah it's. cool yeah and congratulations on your. special dude oh thanks.

yeah it's pretty i'm definitely excited. about it yeah um somebody just sent me a. picture they had a billboard in times. square that was pretty crazy yeah that's. it um. yeah it's exciting man i want to go tour. back over in australia i just got to get. some more jokes i just got to get a few. more stories together they're um. pretty hard to get there though. right. yeah how how that's why the last thing i. was going to ask you is how ridiculous. is it over there oh man it sucks so bad. and the thing the craziest thing is when. i was there i was like oh yeah this. makes sense like everyone's doing it.

that's the thing when you're like. blinded when you don't you only see. what's happening in the country you're. like oh it's okay we're all together. we're doing this together for a reason. right no and then they're like oh. america's so bad there's so many cases. like it's just be careful over there and. then i literally got here i gotta get. outside everyone it's like totally. normal right and it's like maybe they. make you wear a mask like here and there. but i don't have to. like i don't have to. quarantine for two weeks in a hotel room. by myself to get into that's crazy did.

you have to do that when you left no so. i just had to get uh the um test right. to get on the plane got here sweet all. good. go into the world sir yeah because jim. jeffries just had a tour scheduled in. australia right his home country right. yeah he goes back for two weeks he's in. his hotel yeah and on the last day this. and he's gonna start his tour right. after that all the tickets are sold yeah. they came to him they said.

three people down the block had just. gotten covered he has to go back to. america now and his tour was canceled. could you [ __ ]. that would make me kill somebody i feel. like that would make me kill someone way. more man i they've opened up a little. bit in uh certain states so i'm going to. just go chill there because i'm not i. can't sit in a room for two weeks dude. it's like yeah like a prison oh i can. only yeah i mean even when you go to. like um if you go to like other parts of. america it's even more than just totally. normal and you're like even coming to.

los angeles seems really really yeah. i was in like nashville and that was. just so wild oh yeah so sick. these two have been doing baseball. stadiums all outdoors it's actually. funny because the moto ramp we can't do. that motor ramp indoors because they'll. hit the roof damn. [ __ ] what's the highest ramp that's. built right now for you guys to be able. to use um so. the ramp that the guy did the quad back. flip off i think it's like 20 foot. like. that's to go forward that's not like the.

air to come back down it's like a quad. flip ramp what's the safest ramp that. they can you can technically use right. now um they're not the one that we use. on tour is about 16. foot off the ground could you. could they build a 30 foot ramp if you. wanted or you wouldn't be able to get to. the top of it you'd have to just go so. fast but they could do it like and if. someone wants to do five flips that's. how it goes like if you want to do more. things in the air. it even though it sounds like crazier to. have that bigger amp it's just going to. give you that more time to like get the.

trick done yeah because it's like right. now you just pushed first time in the. air oh i see but yeah so do you want. more time up there you think yeah you do. yeah i'll i'll just stay up there yeah. dude. well when you come back down make sure. to come back to the podcast man yeah for. sure all right ryan williams man uh you. guys can check him out uh we'll put all. of his links and everything bruv thanks. so much dude thanks so much for having. me this is like being a dream i've. watched this podcast for so so long i. think like four four or five i know you. and i've been communicating for years.
