When finishing school and deciding what path to go down, there were many options, graphic design being one of them.

But, when given the chance to go to America, a country that was revelling in the investment into the BMX sport but not providing the talent that was being showcased in the UK, Ronnie leapt at the opportunity, grabbing himself championships and sponsorship early on. Being of a younger age to his competitors, Ronnie’s ranking rose drastically in popularity and championships.

Individuals that he saw as his heroes, he soon found himself lined up next to on the ramp, competing alongside them and then becoming long term best friends. Bestwick, Hoffman, Mirra well established names in the BMX World, not forgetting his best friend and fellow BMX competitor Scotty Cranmer. BMX was a passion for Ronnie and with passion comes determination, hard work and success.

With a hard work ethic and the determination to carry on through the highs and lows and persist until you reach your goals, the athlete’s mentality is very beneficial when it comes to any career.
