You’ve probably noticed the Ryan Guetler did not compete at the X-Games in BMX Big Air although he had an invite. There are two reasons why Ryan decided to sit out the contest. Reason one was his 1080 crash in BMX Park where the Aussie popped out his shoulder. We all should know that Aussies are tough so that might not have been something to hold him back. However, for the Big Air competition, a full face helmet was mandatory and Ryan had never ridden with one and wasn’t sure about the mouth piece blocking his view on his tricks and the extra weight of the bucket. He would have if he could have. Maybe next year.                                             Photo: Mike de Wit
