Typical skills for trials riders, but very fun to watch.

Not typical at all... he is certainly among the best.

I've seen Ryan riding many times and have been a course judge for both him and his wife at the "Test of Metal" trials course several times over the years. What separates Ryan from the rest of the top riders in the world are 1) His style, finesse and "Flow"- he's a virtuoso on the bike, and 2) He doesn't hop. The second point may seem like a small one, but it's quite amazing to compare his riding to others. Less skilled riders hop repeatedly- maybe dozens of times, until their bikes are set just right for their next move. Ryan skips all that and just does the move. Incredible to see.

Oh, and for those admiring the scenery in this Vid, come up and visit us in Vancouver sometime!

He's great at what he does...but wrong sport to compare to Tony Hawk. If this had been Dave Mirra, that would have made sense.

Perhaps comparing him to Rodney Mullen - a technically brilliant flatland skater - would be more fitting.

and hahaha, what the hell is "ant"'s deal? He downvotes all kinds of stuff for no reason whatsoever. I think just NOT voting for something you don't like is enough dude.

I agree Joemawlma, Just because you can down vote doesn't mean that everything deserves and up or down. I may not agree with what everyone else likes but doesn't mean it's bad.
