Brady Tweedy
Brady Tweedy spent most of his two wheeled life riding BMX but had always followed the MTB scene. Eventually Freeride caught his eye and he finally jumped over to mtb and was hooked from them on. The similarities of BMX and Freeride made him feel at home straight away with big freeride lines of MTB and big trick combos from his BMX days, it made it an easy transition. Having fun and freeriding is what he loves most and you’ll see him constantly finding creative ways to hit lines and turn a basic trick into something more unique.
Matt Bolton
After moving to Squamish B.C from Toronto Canada, Matt has managed to build his name off epic gnarly trail building and riding. Steep slabs, huge drops and linking together big features is Matt's specialty and where he feels at home.
Favorite trails: Goat Ridge - Squamish B.C, Poacher - Squamish B.C, Dead Dog - Golden B.C

Ryder Bulfone
A phenomenal skier turned mountain biker at the age of 12. Ryder immediately took to two wheels and now searches for some of the most technical lines he can find in his backyard of British Columbia. At the age of 22 his riding is defined by his smooth and creative approach to technical lines. He loves to just get out on the bike and see what is possible to ride down on a bike. Having great tires for this is essential!
Favorite trails:
Treasure Trail, Cruzer, Whister Bike Park

Thomas Bjelic
Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Tom currently resides in Las Vegas and works as a Professor in the Department of Film at UNLV. He got his first mountain bike in 1985, a fully rigid, friction shifting, cantilever brake mounted Norco Sasquatch. He managed to break the frame 2 hours into his first ride. After a long walk back to the shop, they offered him a better bike and a part time job to help pay for it. And so began a life-long obsession. After living through the purple anodized craze of the 90’s (it’s back!) and the early years of suspension evolution and still being alive to talk about it, Tom’s main rides now are a Pivot Trail 429 Enduro (29), a Yeti SB160 (27.5) and an Alchemy Arktos 150 (27.5). His tire of choice is the Delium Rugged Reinforced for its maximum traction, durability and value. Gooseberry Mesa in Hurricane, Utah ranks as his all time favorite trail with Kingdom Trails in Burke Vermont and Tsali/Dupont State Forest in North Carolina rounding out the podium. A strong coalition of cycling advocacy groups and a thriving MBA chapter has resulted in an excellent variety of trails in the Las Vegas valley. His favorite local loop up Flow Job and down Ebb and Flow has enough vertical to keep you honest, enough flow to keep you smiling and enough air time to pray for a good landing. He often describes the trails in Vegas as something akin to riding a dried-out bed of coral. And he has the scars to prove it. A durable performance tire is essential for control and longevity on the sharp, rocky Vegas trails and Delium handles all of it.

Camille started his riding career firstly racing DH and then finding himself moving away from the racing scene to pursue what he really loves, freeriding. Riding is a huge part of his life and it’s made easier living in a mecca of mountain bike trails in Switzerland.

Make sure to check out “Slopeduro Dream Line” on our youtube channel to really get an idea of what Camille is about.
Colin Burgess
