Name: Ryan Mills
Age: 23 but in reverse order... so 32 I guess.
Hometown: Boulder City/ Las Vegas, NV
Hook-ups: Pete Demos and Scott Papiro sent me a very nice Premium complete called La Vida, when I got out of jail. Kevin Conners at Fiend is going to be sending me some things in the near future, and my good friends George Bugbee and James Tracy aka Big Fetus have been keeping me afloat in the mean time. Nathan Grill hooked me up with a full time job recently and has been working with my counseling and drug court schedule which has been super gracious of him for giving me the opportunity to support myself in an honest way again.
To honor and recognize one of (if not THE) most dominant BMX racer of all time I gathered together a few video clips that I've shot of the great Sam Willoughby over the past few years and compiled them for your enjoyment. Best wishes to Mr. Willoughby and his family.
Here's all of Merritt crew insta clips from 20170227 to 20170305.

Last week the regional qualifications already showed a great level from riders highly motivated to take part in this brand new event and to challenge riders invited from the US and Europe. This in a bowl designed and made especially for the occasion. The riders kicked it off during the semi-finals last Friday, but unfortunately the bad weather interrupted the event before the end.
