NICOLAS RIUS “THE FIGHTER”
Where does the struggle to succeed begin? For Nicolas it began very early in life when, at age 8, he was already championing the motocross circuit in south France. It took the tragic accident of a friend to change the focus from motocross to personal watercraft at age 14. His father’s close friend introduced him to the Kawasaki 550 standup; it was love at first ride! Nicolas’ love for the sport continued on leading him to conquer the European front in Marseille, France.

Restless and eager to succeed Nicolas was influenced by the top Americans, he set his sights on competition in the U.S. He wanted to increase his competitive level so he set his sights high. If you want to be the best, you need to ride with the best. Rius domination begins.

The IJSBA World Finals continues to be an exclusive venue for racers to participate in the U.S. The racers have to produce funding, transport equipment, manage sponsorships, and have the ability to travel and adapt worldwide. Nicolas is a prime example of one’s ability to adapt. In 1995 he moved to America, a few bucks in his pockets, a couple of words in English, and a dream to be the BEST! Nicolas was very misunderstood due to the cultural difference and the language barrier it was sink or swim—Nicolas swam.

Initially Nicolas was very misunderstood and interpreted as an arrogant Frenchman, after many years he is known to be a very kind hearted and open-minded person. His spirit is captured by all his fans globally. Whether he is speaking French or English his fans understand the spirit of the warrior that is inside “The Fighter”.

More than a decade of watercraft racing has passed and Nicolas continues to dominate in the sport. His goals have not wavered since the first race—WIN!! Nicolas remains close to his friends and contacts in France where he remains a national hero. One of his crowning achievements includes winning the Indoor Bercy Stadium on his hometown turf.

Nicolas is an iconic racer, one of few who can cross multiple barriers both cultural and continental, he remains a winner. Nicknamed “The Fighter” was a symbolic revelation to the many obstacles he has faced in his career. No other racer is more committed to the training regime nor has as much spirited dedication to the sport.

With numerous #1 positions in the European World and National Championships, Nicolas is a force to be reckoned with. Nicolas created the iconic Rius Factory Yamaha Racing Team, truly a team with leadership and integrity. He continued to be supported by a core staff ready to meet the high demands of the ever changing industry.

Today Nicolas Rius continues with the same drive and determination that he began with so many years ago. Like the mighty Phoenix, “The Fighter” raises strong-Watch and wait for the next rising!
