I met Bryan Ruddy last summer when I rode with Joe Boyle for the first time at Sahuaro Lake. He's quite a character, always in 5th gear and has a smile on his face. The guy just rips, he's smooth, technical and goes big. You can often times hear him say "just cut hard and it'll all be okay, don't worry!"

Riding with Ruddy and Joe is always a hoot, not only is the wake huge and the laughs flow, but they've both been riding so long that even little pointers handed out effect your riding that set. I keep forgetting to bring my camera along the last three times I've ridden with Ruddy and Joe, simply beacuse it's such a blast. These pictures are courtesy of Bryan and were taken back east while he was teaching some groms how to ride!
