Story Time With Ryan “R-Dog” Howard

from Bikes & Big Ideas

Aptos, CA is a small beach town that has produced an incredible number of world-class mountain bikers, and Ryan “R-Dog” Howard has a lot of great stories to share about the scene that gave rise to him, Cam and Tyler McCaul, and too many more to list — not to mention serving as the winter riding escape for the likes of Brandon Semenuk, Martin Soderstrom, and many others. And along the way, we chat about everything from Ryan’s incredible catalog of custom-painted bikes and where he gets his inspiration for them, to building community around riding, “the best trip of my life,” as Ryan put it, and a whole lot more.TOPICS & TIMES:Ryan’s injury update (2:30)The Aptos, CA MTB scene (4:54)Competitive drive & finding motivation outside of it (8:57)Rampage (14:23)The Post Office Jumps & Ryan’s formative years (17:28)Going pro as a rider (24:43)Custom-painted bikes & design inspiration (26:23)“Roadkills” & “the best trip of my life” (35:05)The new company vehicle (39:29)RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ MembershipBLISTER+ Real World TestimonialsBlister LabsThis Week’s Gear GiveawayBlister Mountain Bike Buyer’s GuideOUR OTHER PODCASTSOff The CouchGEAR:30Blister PodcastCRAFTEDHappy Hour Hosted on Acast.
