First rain of the season and I run into him on the trail fixing berms. After traveling and riding all over world, back at home he is quietly working on the local trails he does not get ride that often. What an ambassador of the sport!

Rdog is the man! Loved his Aptos movie... so real, looked like an absolute riot to live that era. And, he turned me on to the soundtrack band "Hot lunch". Much respect Doggystyles!

Imagine if he ran FOX suspension even though he has a million RockShox stickers on his car lol.

That would be pretty on-brand for him though. Give no fucks, just ride your bike and smile at people on the road and high five them on the trail

Every single time I ride with R-dog he just gets you stoked. Doesn't matter if its a local lap down cobb or sending crab apples he makes you remember why you started riding in the first place - for fun.

I get it now the game and the interview are two seperate things I thought one somehow affected the outcome of the other vice-versa. Thanks for an actual helpful response though those are rare around here!

I met Rdog once. Dude has so much joy in his vibe, easy to love (riding totally aside).

Always a humble dude, run into Rdog often on the home loam. I've ridden some of his handcrafted work as he's ridden some of mine. Trail building is definitely a love of labor, there's nothing easy about it and it's all hard work. Then the blisters show up to ride the work, barney it out and with lame ass strava lines through the flow of the intended trail design.
