I grew up playing hockey with Ryan and during the summers would spend weeks at his place in Aptos riding. Looking back I couldn't really do much because of hockey but he had a fearlessness that lots of kids didn't. His whips were pretty wild back then. I remember when he crumpled his rim back jumping off a curb when we rode bmx. Haven't talked with for awhile but it was hilarious going to the Republik site and seeing that big eared kid.
well there are people with mad photoshop skills who could convincingly fake a shot like this, but I say this is definitely 100% real anyways. It's just so damn styley!
i'd like to see a link of a better whip from anybody talking $hit. Ryan Howard has the best whip in mountain biking. I took the shot, and it is far from photoshopped. Check the rest of my alblum. All the photos are real son!!!
check this one out. ust check it. its my friend doing along jump in vigo , very sick pic. if this pic will be pod he will buy me pizza. ! just check it www.pinkbike.com/photo/1631115
I looked at the rest of your album, pretty cool man. Ryan Howard still doesn't have the best whips though. Your name doesn't have to be well known to be the best at something. Your opinion is biased by the fact you took his picture. You don't know everyone in the world. Go ahead and mention I have no pictures on here. So what, if I don't choose to show them.
I respect your opinion, but to say "Ryan Howard has the best whip in mountain biking." is a stretch. Dirt jumping and big suspension bikes are two different worlds in one sport. Vanderham dials his whips pretty good considering the head tube angle on a big hit bike. You can add more style on a dirt jumper, it is a lot smaller and more agile. When giving your opinion try explaining yourself without profanity, kids come on this site. It also proves how intelligent you are "cool guy".
it's hard to believe how many tools there is on here. they should just disable all comments because this is what happens almost every day. AND IT IS STUPID.
sick style though he is killin it
this pic is rad, not only cause hes throwing a huge whip and its looking good, but im liking the dirt jumps themselves. This is has my vote for pod. Good job who ever took the photo.

i hate the idiots who say its fake, just because they cant do it themselves.
awsome picture though, id love to have some jumps like that somwhere close to my house.
i think half the people are looking at the picture wrong he doing a sorta down side whip but if u look at it the wrong way it looks like a over 90 whip and naaaat photo shop!
the first guy cracked a nice joke..complimenting the rider at the same time
the second guy droppin r-tards is the true tard.
the third guys got it going on.
the fourth dude....well..blame his parents. he has limitations.
and the fifth guy puts it all into perspective.
