ryan leech is by far not the best rider in the world. BY FAR.
competition riders do the most insane, technical sections ryan could not even begin to comprehend riding.
riders such as TRA or Tomas Ohler go 100000x bigger then ryan and are pushing the limits of the sport.
the street riders (UK in particular) are giving more style and trick lines then ryan leech.
hes just a loud mouth.
I'm sorry i have to disagree fairly severely here.
You're correct in saying he's not the best rider. However to say the comp riders do tech sections Ryan couldn't comprehend is purely incorrect. An example of this is a video i have of a world's round in Cologne from maybe 2 years ago. There is a very short round rail to ride along (1 1/2 bike lengths max). Hosel, Belaey, Vinco and Benito all crash on it repeatedly. Ryan would eat it up everytime.
Sure he can't go as big as the pros but i suggest you look at some of his riding and actually think about the gaps he's doing. They're bigger than his smooth style makes them look.
So yes I agree he's not the best in the world but he doesn't pretend to be either.
And could you please back up the statement that he's a loud mouth with an example. I'm yet to run into anyone who's actually met Ryan who had anything but praise for him.
Jack... now ill go back to watching Crux...
