Competitions

On October 6, 2007, Ryan took part in the first Red Bull Art of Motion competition in Vienna, Austria. He attempted a 720 cork from height onto a thick crash mat from a 12-foot drop, but missed the crash mat and landed on concrete causing his shin bone to snap in two.
Before the operation, he was warned that it was a limb-threatening break. He had a metal plate on his fibula and a 30cm bar down the core of his shin bone. Clear footage of the accident wasn't released until two years later. He was awarded first place for his effort.
After returning home and considering giving up freerunning, he realised that it was his life and there was no way he could give up, so through his determination he was able to get back on his feet and start free running again.
Ryan has also achieved many titles in Martial Arts Tricking Tournaments. He first became the Nation Extreme Tricks champion in 2006, then again in 2007, 2009 and 2010.
In 2010, Doyle was the winner of the third episode of the MTV's series Ultimate Parkour Challenge.
