Born: 1987

When did you start riding trials?  2000

A little about yourself: 4x North American Champion (2015-2017, 2019). I started riding trials after seeing Ryan Leech doing a side hop demo at a school bike club event. I also watched the trials film Evolve. I continued to watch Evolve many many times over the next few years. I grew up with a large trials scene in Vancouver and lots of good riders that I learned from. In 2007 I started a demo team with Steve Dickin, Trials Stars. In 2014 I became more serious about competitions and invested time in getting better. I acheived a personal best 10th place at the 2016 UCI World Championships in Italy.

When did you start riding trials? Bike: 2009 Unicycle: 2005

A little about yourself: I had been riding trials unicycle competitively for a while before starting trials biking. It was videos of riders like Damon Watson, Neil Tunnicliffe, and Danny that pulled me into the two-wheeled world, but trading my rarely used DJ bike for an old Echo Control back in 2009 was one of my better decisions that marked the start of it. Since then I've enjoyed the process of learning how to use that second wheel. I like to bring trials style riding to my mountain biking and, of course, commuting.

A little about yourself:  I achieved 3rd place in 20" at the 2015 North American Trials Championship. I got into trials through a buddy of mine who got me into unicycle trials, and it pretty much grew from there. I love cycling of any sort, music, road trips, and spending time with good friends! Jitsie is my favorite Trials brand!

a good mix of Jitsie, Trialtech, and Breath components.

Born: 1983

Where do you live? Boulder, CO

When did you start riding trials? 1998

A little about yourself: Well, I got my start riding in New England after witnessing a friend riding trials in my hometown. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen and so I mowed lawns all summer to afford my first trials bike. After high school I migrated out to Colorado where I continued riding and eventually put my own trials show together after finishing up college in Fort Collins.  I currently travel around performing trials shows professionally and in the off seasons I get to pursue additional interests and hobbies that bring me joy.

What bike do you ride? I ride an Echo Pure MK5 at the moment but have a cool custom build in the works as well!

Favorite trials spots? My favorite trials spot is Ebin G. Fine Park in Boulder, Colorado. There’s a bunch of fun rocks to ride right next to a beautiful creek with rushing water. I also feel good vibes there and it’s my happy place.

What other interests or hobbies do you have? Other hobbies besides trials?! ;) I enjoy playing and studying chess, skiing, playing guitar and reading psychology related literature. I also love cooking and folding laundry lol.

Favorite response to the “where’s your seat?” question? No need for one, seats just get in the way!
