R-Dog Ryan Howard Professional Mountain Biker / 805 Beer – The Build and more #139

Ryan "R-Dog" Howard is by far and away the chillest man in mountain biking. We dare you, nay, we challenge you, to find someone who has more fun riding their bike every day than Mr. Dog. You will not succeed. Style? Check. Good vibes? Check. Living in a van down by the river? Oh, for sure. Ryan "R-Dog" Howard is what we all aspire to become. Ryan will frequently take top honors for any event involving style, with whip-offs at the top of the list. His earth-shattering good vibes can be seen in his video edits, which are frequently hailed among the top videos of the year. Listen, this R-Dog guy is the real deal. Trust us.
