“Ruben is the one person who opened everyone’s eyes to the advantages of a light bike. He has changed the way we look at our bikes forever. Ruben’s riding has also changed the way we all wish we could ride a bike.” -Clint Millar
“He turned a regular huck sport into more style and grace. Makes even the easiest things look good, and makes the hard things look good.” -Chad DeGroot
“He may not have been around forever but watch the way people ride-everyone wants to be Ruben. Go to your local park and there is at least one Ruben clone. The guy has made a big impact for the better.” -Van Homan
“Ruben, because of the evolution of his riding. He was one of the first to do shit like no-handed flairs and crazy jumping variations, and then he changed up to a more bike control-style, which is just as amazing. People can be just as amazed at Ruben flowing around flickin’ his bike as they are with some one else bustin’ stupid phat tricks, yo.” -Tom Stober
