Ryan Williams: World's First Free Willy

Ryan "R-Willy" Williams is no stranger to landing new tricks. In fact, he has more World's Firsts on scooter and BMX than we can keep track of. But the Free Willy on scooter is easily one of the coolest we've ever seen. The rider backflips, the scooter frontflips, and our jaws drop.

About us:
Nitro Circus is what happens when a group of extremely talented and fearless friends decides to make their hobby into their profession. This crew of wild ones 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.

"It's pretty hard to explain"


..literally goes and explains it perfectly

[charlesjones]

Tries it 100 times....finally lands it when only one person is there to see it 😂

1:15 sounds like that little Squirrell looking lemur Mort from Madagascar

"World's first Free Willy". Ryan knew exactly what he was doing when he named that trick

[alphasheep]

I really hate that you play it in slowmo so many times but never once at normal speed, some things are more unbelievable if you see it in real time

[MrKrhill]

So ridiculous... anyone that has actually tried action sports understands how difficult it is... this stuff looks difficult, but no film can do this justice. The amount of precision, and athleticism involved to pull this stuff off is crazy. Mad respect!

[shalakabooyaka]

Its pretty hard to explain.... I backflip scooter front flips. Yea, extremely difficult to explain.

[jeremypiper]

This is exactly the face I expected to see for a professional scooterer...

[catcrapinahat]

This is absolutely insane, this is something you do in a video game and it's considered "unrealistic".

[fredmichaud]

It must be the same camera guy from the x games...start with the best angle possible and switch for the most shitty angle in mid air lol

[aboveitall]

The Nitro crew are amazing, all people need to take a deeper look at what these guys and girls are accomplishing. The power of the mind is incredible.

It’s not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T–16 back home. They’re not much bigger than two meters.

[lauriehammy]

This guy is seriously one a kind. Crazy talent an forever progression fuck yeah.

[brutallyhonestmf]

Not a fan of scooters but this trick is fucking awesome

[vc]

"Hey, you skate?"
"Naw man, I *scoot.* "

[jesusvalle]

This is how I feel jumpin off the curb

[HAvOKnandtoxic]

Man that was gnarly. You should try a front flip when the scooter does a back flip

[ginolorenzo]

He totally nailed it in front of a crowd of 10 people

[Fekron]

"This trick is really hard to explain"... me backflip, scooter frontflip

[killerswitch]

So special to you, R.Willy your special bro
