Ryan Paul (A.K.A. 86)

This kid is insane!  Definitely one of the best amateur boarders I have seen in a long time.  Last year he won the W.C.I. at Mammoth.  He even did a front flip onto a rail!

Here's a video of Ryan shredding it up at Big Bear last year.  Absinthe rider Cale Zima throws in a little commentary as well.

Lastly, I have his part in the Minnesota snowboard film "Poachers 10" by Bald E-Gal. This part is great! Click the picture for a link to a Transworld exclusive video.

Definitely look out for him in the future. The season has barely begun and he's already won the Downtown Throwdown in Seattle!
