Ryan growing up was very poor he has one older sister and his dad would do everything they could to get Ryan to all the races. His dad sold his business so that he could pay for the races, his mom and dad did everything they could to get him into racing. The races coast a lot of money and since they didn't have a lot of money growing up it made it tough for them, they had to travel everywhere to go to these national races. Ryan's sister didn't like the dirt bike racing and her parents were so focused on Ryan and getting him to the races that they didn't pay as much attention to her. As they were getting older they were doing better as Ryan was growing up he became really fast and he started winning national races. A team called monster energy picked him up and got him on the team, that helped him out a lot they got him parts he needed for his bikes and gear.
