Ryan Doyle (born September 22, 1984) is a freerunner from Liverpool, United Kingdom,[1] and is one of the founding athletes of the World Freerunning and Parkour Federation.[2] Despite his poor eyesight, he is two-time winner of the Red Bull Art of Motion competition, and is officially sponsored by Red Bull energy drink.[3] Doyle was also a cast member of MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge in 2010,[4] and played the role of Finch in the 2011 movie Freerunner.[5]
In his teenage years, Doyle trained in the Korean martial art of Kuk Sool Won,[2] and he developed his style by adding his own free-running movements to the martial arts techniques he learned.[3] Doyle began his career by winning the 2007 Art of Motion competition in Vienna, but in the same competition he had the misfortune to break his leg while attempting a trick from a 12–foot jump during the finals. This left him with a plate on his fibula and a 33 cm bar with 14 screws down the core of his shin bone.[3] Despite this setback he made a full recovery,[3] and in 2011 he won the Art of Motion competition again.[6] He received 8th place in the Red Bull Art of Motion 2012 (staged in Santorini, Greece), following a tour applying acrobatics at seven world wonders.[7]
