Ryan Hughes doesn’t get enough credit in our sport. I missed his pro years for the most part but I’m very impressed by what the guy has done post career. He’s built multiple successful businesses between his supplements, camps, personal training, training tools, and now team management. Not to mention he has a great instagram if you’re into the self development type stuff, a great family man, and has a son with some real talent on a pedal bike. It’s impressive for any rider to transition to the real world as well as he has but what is really neat is how all of his successes have been motivated by improving our sport and the riders. He preaches safety consistently more than anyone I have come across. He is knowledgeable enough to discuss safety related product design, physiology, and the mental side of things. And the dude tells it like it is. I truly believe if this guy’s voice was louder, the sport (and world) would be better off. People don’t like the truth or no excuses attitude though.
He still effin’ rips on a dirt bike. See below. I’d love to seem him score some points at a national. He’d earn a lot of fans. He also just rode some insane mountain bike race. Don’t know much about it but I know my jaw dropped when I saw the stats. Bottomline....he is a badass.

As a person though, I think hes a major a-hole.
The Shop
On one hand, I think its crazy that an untamed beast like a Rhinoceros is able to compete at the highest levels of our sport.
On the other hand, it really just goes to show what gods creatures are capable of once we put down the stereotypes. Not many other wild animals have had that kind of success
One thing is for certain the guy is one hell of a hard worker and a true competitor , I really admire those qualities.
But other times he's like "when you have negative thoughts, just like, replace them with positive thoughts". I'm grossly exaggerating but it basically boils down to that a lot of the time. Makes me chuckle. When he's mellow, he's an alright dude, not the sharpest cat, but he's alright.
He was and still is a beast.. his opinion is truly one of kind
I did a school with him back in 03' or 04' @ Elsinore. Seemed cool, but I'd probably be cool too if I was with paying clients. HaHa- This was one on his first schools I believe.
Say what you will, sum bitch is tough as they come. He's got tons of knowledge.
Pit Row
That video will always make me NOT a fan of his.
Let that video go for F's sake.
Glad people haven't recorded me at my worst, i would be in some deep doo for some fly off the handle shituations
(he was probably fine tuning ryno power supps. at the time)
Maybe LaPaglia was able to get a free spring loaded MX trainer out of the deal.
