The first raft of competitiors are:
Lance Canfield, 28 years old
FROM: Bountiful, Utah
"What sort of riding necessitates building your own downhill frame? Check out Lance’s vid to find out. Cool lines, big drops and some sweet Utah landscapes."
Ashley Christensen, 24 years old
FROM: Salt Lake City, Utah
"With a penchant for riding high skinnies and doing night time roof drops into traffic, Ashley finds his true inner peace when he stops to smell the flowers."
Cory Leclerc, ’20 sumthin’
FROM: Vancouver, BC
"J-hop to manual on a skinny log ride, Superman on the dirt jumps and a step-up to the roof of a local bike shop – just some of the well rounded riding you’ll see in Cory’s vid."
Dylan Tremblay, 20 years old
FROM: Nelson, BC
"Trials and misdemeanors on a Specialized P3. Big air, big hair and some pretty trick urban riding."
