Basing himself in Huntington Beach, he toured extensively, placing 1st in the Vans Triple Crown series in Dirt in 2004.[3] He became a regular on the Dew Tour, an American five-city, BMX and extreme sports circuit, from 2004.[1] Competing against rivals Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist, Guettler took the BMX Dirt events, and the Park events, to become the tour's first two-discipline winner.[4][1] He went on to compete in later Dew Tour events, such as Salt Lake Cithy where he performed a 1080, double backflip, front flip, flairs and a double whip for second place.[5] However, due to injuries including a grade III shoulder separation, he has not been able to carry over his earlier tour wins.[6][7][8]

Guettler appeared in part in Season 3 of BMX P.I.G filmed in Singapore, where his team partner was Dave Dillewaard.[9] His sponsors have included Colony BMX and Hyper Bicycles.[10] Guettler released a signature bike from MirraCo called The Black Pearl, and designed a pair of Vans shoes.[11][12]
