From the Jones desk:

Ryland Bell’s riding style is just like his home state of Alaska - big, bold and proud. Whether he’s ripping down KT-22 or a steep AK spine line, Ryland charges lines with confident authority and is always on the lookout for natural freestyle features. Ryland grew up in a commercial fishing family and now captains his own boat spending his summers fishing in Southeastern Alaska allowing him to take the winters off and snowboard around the world. Ryland has dedicated his life to riding steep spines in Alaska and always returns home every spring to tap back in the epic riding right in his backyard.
