Our Rider Development Team has grown another member for 2016! We’d like to welcome 15(soon to be 16)year old Jessie McAuley from Squamish BC to our rad little roster!

Growing up playing in the BC mountains, Jessie fell in love with riding at an early age and after recently trying his hand at DH racing, has shown some real talent. Together with his passion, personality and attitude, we see some great potential in him.

Jessie will be racing U17 this year and then heading on up to Junior so we are excited to be able to guide and mentor him as he works his way up the ranks.

Jessie joins Seth Sherlock(13) of Squamish BC, Piper Allman(14) and Noah Allman(17) of Sooke BC to make up our wicked little line up of shredders. All great kids with a lot of heart, we are proud to have them under our wings.

Huge thank you to Intense Cycles for seeing the importance of projects like these and for making this possible. For 2016, the team is also supported by Fox Head, Chromag, Smith Optics, Five Ten, Scorpion Bike Stands and Evolution Whistler.

It is really special to be a part of these kids dreams and development. Here is our spring team camp video from last year to give you an idea of what this program is all about:
