Nitro Circus is what happens when a group of extremely talented and fearless friends decides to make their hobby into their profession. This crew represents a cross section of everything awesome in action sports: freestyle motocross, BMX, skateboarding, scooter, snowboarding, skiing, BASE jumping, sky diving, and a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be taken down a ramp. Nitro Circus tours the world putting on shows featuring all of the above and more. In our constant quest to always do what we love and push the boundaries of what's possible in action sports, we have some epic crashes and legendary fails, but stick or stack, our only goal is to have fun and entertain the world in the process.

Thanks Nitro Circus!❤️
Thanks for being there
You're a true legend and an inspiration bro 🤙🤘
Much love you too R Willy. What a legend.
Been a sub for ages and loved this interview with backstory I hadn't seen before, like some of the clips with your mum and the helmet day.
I've always had so much respect for you because you're always wearing your helmet in your videos, which is a massive positive influence on your younger audience.
The fact you thought it was embarrassing to wear a helmet all day in your youth illustrates the backwards thinking that is prominent in our vein culture.
Would love to see a video of you revisiting this punishment today just doing normal mundane stuff like going to Woollies, highlighting the importance of safety, but this time doing with pride rather than embarrassment.
Would also love to see a range of RWilly safety gear for kids, like pads and helmets etc. Probably a good venture for you which I don't see any action athletes doing.
I only wish more pro skateboarders did the same. What someone is wearing doing a trick does not change how epic it is, nor the surface they land on.
Pros are experts at falling, so there is not as much risk, but that small risk amplifies with a tricks intensity when consequences become dire. But most importantly pros have an audience, and so play a part of the culture of safety.
If every pro of every action sport were seen protecting themselves, kids would pick on each other for NOT wearing safety gear.
That was about 6 or 9 spins
"5 seconds out of my day can make someone's week" best quote
Hell yeah!
I fkn love that quote
Exactly what I was searching for
Fuckin A
You didn’t quote it properly u done speech marks instead of quotation marks you should’ve done this’ or the other way
It's not just kids mate, I'm 33 and love your videos. And yes sometimes during lunch you could potentially get me through the next half of the shift. Thanks man!
Same here (im 31) I went to nitro circus at the 02 in london. most adults there were parents with their kids 😂 but one of the best things I've ever witnessed and would definitely go again next time they are in the UK.
@RubbishFPS Im 39! Watch this every day
Got you all beat. I'm 60, a gen x, and think Ryan is a badass totally, plus a truly stand up person for anyone to look up to.Awesome person, tricks or not.
Same here man I watch sometimes on my lunch or breaks and it deff helps me get through my shifts
Old kids never grow up 38 here and I love it !
Damn I came here to see flips not almost cry 🥺🥺
Dude is awesome and so is his mom.
Fuqn riiiight
same :)
Shout out to the legend that is Ryan's mum.
She had vision on what he needed and wanted

The hells a mum
Yes sir

Travis said "R-Willy is the best action sports athlete alive today" the amazing thing is R-Willy has never broken a bone.
Broke his spine in x games no?
Broke his wrist
In 2011 at state qualifications bmx broke my hip got 4 bolts holding it on and came to state finals 5 months latter and took 2ed. I'm 48 now and still have my GT in my car bring it everywhere. BMX will be with me till the end of time. I love the dedication R Willy has in everything he does. And love that mom that did it for her son. 💘
His mom is the type that doesn't say, " woohoo!" But doesn't care
R Willy is gonna go down in history, the amount of world first this man has pulled and the many medals, including gold from x games, is phenomenal. Easily the biggest inspection and an idol of my life. Definitely inspired me to live day by day and whatever happens, happens.
Scooter
If Travis says so, then yes he is.
I hope every person who ever ripped on this kid, sees this video and what he has been up to.
@NOAH COLLINS yes he is🤣 rwilly has like 30+ world firsts bruh
@NOAH COLLINS so who’s better?? Coz even I reckon he’s the best Rn
@NOAH COLLINS if they all did a best tricks comp ur telling me they would r Willy??? hahahha trippin bro😂😂
I got to meet him a few times at the X Games and he was very approachable. We got a great photo ill keep forever. Thanks for that 5 seconds.
5 seconds out of his day made my year... he is genuine and down to earth.. great guy and an even better athlete
I’ve met him personally and he signed my jersey🤘🏼
Delanie Kendall nicccce that most of been fun
@@swarmdropz907 yeah it was great!!
same he is so nice
Nice, I’m happy for u
same i got a picture with him
I watch all your videos with so much admiration of what you can do. Being an 70's & 80's BMX racer, what you do is off the chart! Keep pushing the limit. A 58 year old BIG fan from Atlanta GEORGIA.
So amazing!
No your amazing!
@@francisbeatbox563 ikr! So amazing 🤩
I got you to 69 likes 👍
Ryan thank you for being such a good role model. My son just loves watching you! He was able to see you last year. He got his picture taken with you and you signed his Vans wallet. He came home that night and said his checks hurt so much for smiling so big. 😁 #1fan
Sweet keep up the positivity You're killing it I started at the beginning of flatland freestyle I'm old school love to see all the new tricks your kicking ass keep it up the world is watching
The whole nitro circus fam got my biggest respect for pushing the limits
it’s cool to see you guys taking care for the next generation of athletes 🤘🚀
I’m 35, came across Ryan during the first lockdown as I wanted to skate again, after a 15 year gap. Solid fella, massive respect for the time he gives to everyone, remains incredibly humble, always out there pushing himself whilst supporting others. He inspires me! to get back into it… the skating life.
Great job RW. humble beginnings and still humble today - well done for being a great role model for the younger generations. The bullies/haters/trolls out there aren't even worth the breath to cool your porridge - let them rot in the dumpster they live in. keep that bar rising.
A role model indeed not just for kids I’m 40 yrs old have a wife and 4 yr old boy my own family business and I respect R Willy big time! Golden rule treat others how you wanna be treated keep up the hard work and many more blessings coming brother
Oh man, I've been watching action sports since the beginning of 2000s and honestly not even surprised that Travis calls this dude #1 action sports athlete today. He just does tricks no one even thought of doing back then. When I first saw this guy I couldn't believe his talent - for me its like he's doing all these stunts with such ease like it's a video game and not real life. His level of talent also reminds me of Dave Mirra
Loved Dave but he's light yrs ahead of those guys.
I love to watch R Willy not only is he the best action sport star he is super humble keep flying high Ryan!!!
Super lucky to have had that kind of support from your parents, both physically and financially. I'd imagine that is what helped mold you into the athlete you've become RW..
What a flipping legend, the love and appreciation for your mom legit got me teary brother
I'm an old dude that seen one of you're stunts on you tube. There have been some greats but after watching you they all fall in line behind you. Very ballsy very talented. If Travis says it,its good enough for me.
Love the enthusiasm!! Hopefully he continues to inspire others to be their best for many years to come!!
Thanks for being an inspiration and an exceptional mentor for the action sports community. You rock!
Thank you Ryan Williams for expiring me to ride more and getting better at scootering keep up the good work ant thank you for helping me get through these hard times hope y’all have a great day and may god bless you
Watch this kid and amazing Athlete. Even more proud of him for the Love he has for his Mom and the sacrifices or extra work she did for him. Most kids don't realize like he does. So Very Cool.
What a great asset Ryan is to action sports and Nitro circus. Very humble, hard working, remembers who helped him get to where he is and most importantly his attitude towards his fans is second to none just like the great man Travis Pastrana himself. As R Willy said a couple of seconds from his day can make someone else's day. Deserves all he gets and more.....what a champion 💪👌👏
Greatest action sport star alive today! R-Willy is amazing! Love his videos, and hope to get a signed shirt or something one day if I get lucky enough to meet him! Great attitude about life I think is the main thing I love about him. I need to go back and see how many WF he has under his belt. There have been quite a few!
Everything he does is impressive, but 100% respect for the relationship he has with his Mom.
That support and love will motivate you to do anything in life.
Beautiful! 👍🤘
Gotta be one of the nicest, most clean spirited kid I've ever had the pleasure to watch. He's also quite knowledgeable, intelligent, considerate, and could you ask for a finer example for other kids to follow, who are looking for these qualities in a mentor. Well done Mrs Williams, and top effort Willy. Keep up your good work. Keep your headspace. It's important long term.👍🏻
Ya big dork! Ya loveable as hell. Manhugs.👍🏻😉
So happy you listened to my comment about making one for R Willy
His energy just makes you smile. Congratulations on all ur accomplishments m8, ur sick asf Ryan.
The helmet story is too good 😂
And Ryan... You are that guy man. I have a young son, seeing what you do is awesome man. The kids are the future. You encourage, respect, and show there is a reason not to give up. Not just on triple backy, but in life. Respect 🍻🍻🍻
Watched this guy close to a decade ago on RUclips. Inspired me to scoot back then. Major props my dude!
I grew up watching Dave Mirra Ryan Nyquist Dennis McCoy May Hoffman and so on. I’d say Willies right there with those guys. Willie is pushing and helping the next generation progress and it’s awesome to see.
Mind boggling tricks man just absolutely smashing it! Keep on givin' er!!
What’s also nuts about R. Willy is that he has never broken a bone, like how can you get the point of hucking triple front flips and not break something in the process. Crazy
thats crazy!
He broken his leg some years back, he made a full edit doing crazy shit on his scooter at the skatepark lol pretty sure the video is titled “Ryan Williams Broken”
He also broke both of his collarbones
What an amazing compliment from Travis!! But you are a legend mate!!!
The best ever I love your videos so much it makes me want to go to my local skate park and ride like a pro and do my best in life big shout out to nitro circus and you
I saw Rwilly's first vid. He had 12 subscribers. Don't ask me how I found it. I have no idea, but I knew this guy was something special.
I always get goosebumps at that Minneapolis 2019 gold medal run. Back flips in, but the height of air on that massive ramp for the flair was crazy. Could see the people in the crowd going mental and on their faces in awe witnessing legendary greatness happen on a bmx big air x games contest.
He sets such a great example to others: treat others well, give them your time (your 5 seconds could make their week), and as an older adult, I appreciate that he doesn’t cuss a whole lot either, showing younger kids that life can be grand. He’s really amazing!
really loved this video, it showed how much of a genuinley good person willy is :)
The guy really is the best out there today. I'll admit I didn't have much respect for scooter kids until I saw R. Willy absolutely tear it up on Nitro Circus. Good on him, I wish him even more success going forward
not just kids bro. When i'm feeling down sometimes your videos provide the positivity.
Respect to your Mom bro and i respect the Love you show to her 👌👌👌
Bro, we love your mum... She seems like a legend..!! She bred one so you'd expect that. 😉
In all seriousness, this is the best insight. Well done Nitro. Ryan opened my eyes to you fellas... Ona BMX, then I learnt he was a scooter legend.. Lol.. 🤘 ROCK ON 🤘
Always great to see these guys praise their parents/parent🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This guy is an absolute legend around the kids, and a great role model at that. My son definitely looks up to him, and I ain't mad about it.
The best of the best, very humble and I love the part when he's talking about his mom.
I love how supportive the action sports community is of each other.
Legend 4 filming everything! !
so much respect for R willy really great rider and just an amazing guy .
Great video! Ryan is such a cool dude and was born to do worlds firsts!
Damn you can tell everything you need to know about Ryan by how well he treats his mom and how much she loves him.
I'm a uge fans of you guys ! Keep pushing it ! One day I'll see one show in real time
Absoulute Legend and very inspirational
I love that Ryan and his mom have a close relationship 💗 makes for a great person way to go Ryan ✊
The Hill-Willys. Love it
you are a legend mate. i will come to the sunshine coast this year. its my first time in aussie
I love you mann.. i dont scoot or bike but i think your a frippin legend.. shout out from the philippines
Good show on Pastrana creating a world where people can make entire careers out of wild stuff like this. Not everyone wants to win races or whatever the pro route was for BMX before and creating the Nitro Circus has given proper employment to unorthodox people while entertaining so many.
I’m always hype when he uploads. His content never disappoints.
What a good guy! Keep it up R. Willy!! 🤙
Awesome to feature Ryan! He is so deserve's it! All around Nice gentleman!
Sending positive vibes your way.
Peace love dream's ❣️🇨🇦
💞🌐📷📽️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯🌅🌍💙🌏💜🌎🌄🕊️💖🌌😉
Great Athelete, I enjoy watching him. He has heart and genuinely seems to just be enjoying himself which is great :)
And he has a great personality
This premiered on my bday, R-Willy I think you are the greatest scooter rider that has ever lived.
I’m from Albury and it’s amazing your first show was there
He would've been so stoked to here tp say his hands down the best athlete alive today. I'm so keen to see him through down these RWilly land tricks at nitro
Ryan's part of the new age. And the new age is crazy. Full respect to this man 👊🇬🇧
Honestly he is like a young Travis, I loved watching him do what he does. He was always an amazing athlete, would do anything and help his friends follow their dreams. Just like Ryan. Ryan will pass Travis but thats because of Travis. Much love and thanks for all the positivity!
I hope people recognise how big of a deal it is to have such high praise from 199 and still have next to no ego rwilly your a step forward for mankind👍
"Is he the greatest action sports athlete?"
Answer: YES
Completely wrong, he is really good doing his stuff. BMX and Scooter are just 2 sports.

I been around since 1982 and I was lucky enough to watch xtreme sports grow. Let alone have my own fun just never got good enough To what is young men do. Travis pastrana's Deegan twitch Matt halfman Shaun white Just so many of them but no one like RW. There were so many I know im missing such a bunch of great extreme sports. I dont believe football baseball basketetball are really super talented Sports. In no way could it come near the skillz these boys have. Ryan Williams being the all time best.. I have to say I have never seen such a creative Talented Extreme sport person in my life he is incredible he adapts to anything. Well I can pretty much say is thank you Ryan Williams for taking extremes sports to a whole new level it's gonna be real hard for someone to be as good as you and not just on one thing keep it up brother with your talent and your down to earth attitude ✌🤙🤙🤙🤙👆👆👆✌👍👍👍👍
Bru five seconds of your day can make my life!
I'm so happy r willey hasn't let all his fame go to his head and he's stayed grounded
This mans an inspiration I’ll never forget the legend of R willy
This was a sick watch
Wow.. I can see Travis yard gonna go down as a legendary place.. The skill that comes out of that place blows my mind
Hands down the best of today
How serious Travis is when he says R-Willy is the best gave me chills. This guys is so incredible its ridiculous.
I saw him do a stunt,he's on a huge hill in the woods,comes down the hill,hits a ramp on his scoot. Lands on a platform 30' up,drops down & didn't break a pinky. I thought that was crazy then I googled his name & that was just an everyday occurrence.
Special talent......deserves everything he’s got 🤙🏻
Wonderful nitro circus 👌👌👌
You got dope skills bruv 💯💪🏾
he’s such a genuine dude
i remember you followed me on facebook or my space and i was so pumped
***MY FAVOURITE VIDEO*
Because I can relate to what he is saying
at the start !
🙏
🤟🤟😁
Pastrana saying you’re the best in the world now must be mind blowing🤯 What a compliment🙌🏼
You inspire me RWilly
im 20 years old and love watching R Willi videos :)
Wonderful video
His name will be talked about over decade's I'm sure.. 100% Rad !! Awesome dude..✌
Youre awesome ryan !! Keep t up
Awesome bro
I love how he loves and takes care of his mom.
How can anyone hate on this kid, I don’t see anyone else doing the stuff he does
