One of the most spontaneous and stimulating riders in the sport of freestyle is none other than Ronnie “Who’s your Daddy?” Renner, a Florida-born rider who now calls Long Beach, California, home.
Renner grew up racing motocross and competed on the professional level for several seasons before being introduced to the sport of freestyle, to which he immediately took a liking. He takes pride in putting on a good show for the fans, and it definitely shows, as he was awarded the 2002 and 2003 Entertainer of the Year award in IFMA competition.
But entertaining the masses isn’t all this Red Bull KTM-supported rider can do, as his list of achievements rivals anyone’s in the sport, with several medals in X Games and Gravity Games competition, along with a championship in the WFA World Step-Up competition in 2004.
Aside from all of that, he is also the only freestyle rider to be featured on the cover of Racer X Illustrated twice in his career! Keep an eye out for Ronnie in 2006, and check out www.ronnierenner.com for more info.
