Ryan Guettler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ryan Guettler (born July 17, 1983) is a BMX Dirt and Freestyle rider from Beenleigh, Australia. Making his international debut at the 2001 Asian X Games alongside Colin MacKay, Guettler won a silver medal, and used his winnings to make his U.S. debut with Vans the next year, shortly after a showing in the Global X Games, where he represented Australia.

Becoming a regular on the BMX circuit in 2004, Guettler placed 1st in the Vans Triple Crown series in Dirt, and 4th in Street. Guettler has, for the most part, sustained his success, competing most notably in the 2005 and 2006 Dew Action Sports Tours. In 2005 he swept Dew Cups in both of his competing disciplines, dirt and park; however, he was not able to carry over his successes from 2005 to 2006, mostly due to injuries he sustained early in the season. Ryan participates in local contests as well as global contests, such as the Heavy Metal Heroes in Beenleigh.

His current sponsors include Vans, Spy Optic, Pro-Tec, Monster Energy Drink, MirraCo., Freestyle Watches, Colony (which was a collaborative between Guettler and friend Clint Miller), Woodward, and EpicBMX shop.

He has also released a signature frame from MirraCo., called "The Black Pearl."

Ryan loves to collect tattoos, he has over 9 right now, and is completing a new addition soon.
