Hey guys,

An interesting thought popped into my head the other day: who has the most recognizable style based on riding alone?

If all the riders wore the same gear, rode the same bike, and looked exactly the same; who could you confidently pick out of the crowd?

For me, i feel like I could pick out RV2 because of the way he hangs off the back of the bike when he corners and how he seems to steer that bike with the rear end. Curious to see your guys observations as well! Thanks.

This guy hands down, in my book. Unmistakable style and smoothness above all others.

Rv2 always stared down at his fender. He’d be easy to spot.

Tomac rides like an absolute mad man I think he’d be the next easiest.

Pourcel with the sneakiest lines ever would maybe be up there too.

RV & Windham for me. Early 250 years RC with the chopped down seat and handlebars buried in his lap was pretty damn distinct, too.

Ron Lechien and David Bailey for me. Their technique was easily recognizable and looked so effortless.

Just reading the title, this was my first thought. Elbows down, powersliding around a corner.

Smooth in more ways than one! He was the definition of “cool” to me as a kid.

Ok, who’s got the classic Brandon video?

After Brandon, I’m going with C. Pourcel. Could make a great like Dungey look awkward and like he’s trying too hard.

Hanny, I can’t put my finger on why but just makes it look so good.

Tomas is always in such a strong position, I feel like he’d be easy to pick out also.

Pastrana, K Dub, and DV because of their height. You can add Preston to that group too. Maybe it's because I'm a taller rider myself (6'3") so I always tried to mold my style after theirs. Especially K Dub and DV's.
