Marks

Ryga, why do you use AD Marks instead of ArP??
Well actually, that's a simple question to answer. If you have more AD early game with turtle stance, you heal faster. By the time you're level 4 or so and have tiger, the AD will really help with killing your lane as well.
Seals
Greater Seal of Vitality
Ryga, why don't you use AS seals instead of HpL??
Once again, a simple answer. HpL are my preference. I believe they help a lot with survivability but if you like AS seals go for it! This game is all about preference.
Glyphs

Woah Woah Woah Ryga, cooldown reduction? Why?? This makes no sense!
Once again, preferences. I believe the cooldown reduction really helps with stance switching, so I use it. The other option of course is AS glphs.
Quintessences

More AD? Really????
Preferences people. Calm down. If you really prefer ArP, go for it! I feel that with extra AD, I heal more while I lane for my Wriggle's.
ALTERNATIVES
Alternatives to this that I use occasionally are


23 In Offense?
Yes this is true that I put 23 in offense. Having ArP, AS, and Magic Penetration from masteries really helps with damage output. But your probably asking me why Magic Penetration? If you read Udyr's first skill,

6 In Defense?
Trust me, it's only 6 Armor and 6 Magic Resist but it comes a long way early game.
1 In Utilities?
Obviously the ghost mastery. It helps SO MUCH you wouldn't believe it.
ALTERNITIVE
The most common setup for Udyr is 21/9/0
You take 2 off the attack speed mastery and put 9 in defense for the extra dodge combined with



Ghost is an amazing combination with


I love this skill for getting away and for initiating fights. You may not be a tank while playing Udyr but you're pretty tanky

Exhaust is a great choice for slowing people down whether they are chasing you or you're chasing them. It also helps win those 1v1 when you randomly run into someone in the jungle and can't defeat them any other way.
ALTERNATIVES
I do not have any suggestions to alternatives except
