www.ryanguettler.com: Born on July 17, 1983 in Beenleigh, Australia, Ryan was the second child to his mom and dad, older brother Terry came 2 years earlier.
www.ryanguettler.com: As a youngster Ryan loved to play video games, listen to music but mostly, like every other little boy, he loved fight with his older brother. However that all changed when at age 7, Ryan picked up a bike for the first time thanks to his babysitter Glenn Stracy. Stracy, instead of having him sit at home and play video games all day, took him to the local skate park to ride. Guettler continued riding his local scene hitting parks, trails, the street, whatever he could find that he could ride, and knowing him, he probably also rode some obstacles that were not meant for riding.

3rd place pro park @ Global X-Games, may 2003.
Jason a. Davis, www.notfreestylin.com: I would say one of the big surprises of this contest was Ryan Guettler from Austraila taking third place. I might be wrong but I don't remember seeing company listed as his sponsor. That cat beat many riders you have heard of before.
www.ryanguettler.com: Ryan’s first appearance in the United States was at the Global X Games where he won a spot to compete on the Australian team with Colin MacKay. At this competition he placed 3rd behind Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist. He then traveled to Denver to compete in the Vans Triple Crown where he once again placed 3rd. It was there that Ryan picked up his first major sponsorship with Vans. For the rest of the 2003 season, Vans kept him here competing across the US. As Ryan’s popularity continued to increase so did the number of contests he entered as well as his results.

Ryan Guettler, www.fatbmx.com, august 2010: Wow what a crazy year 2010 has been. As many of you know, I crashed badly at the Chicago Dew Tour doing a 540. From the crash I suffered a 3rd degree separation on my left shoulder. This only aggravated years of abuse and past injuries to the point that time and basic rehab will not heal the injury to extent I need. Since the Chicago Dew Tour, I’ve ridden in the X Games, HB US Open, and Portland Dew Tour with the injury. Unfortunately now with both shoulders popping out every time I ride, I decided to get X-rays & MRI to find out how to fix what’s going on. I’ve been told by sports doctors the only way to fix the problems with my shoulders, so I can compete without any issues, is to get surgery and have them repaired. Therefore, I will undergo surgery this week. Then I will be fully recovered by end of this year as I’ve been told that it is 4 months of rehab post surgery. That will put me in a good position to return for the start of next season with a healthy body allowing me to compete at 100% once again. I hate that it’s came to this, but I can’t keep riding with this injury and need it fixed now. Thanks for all your support!
