Matty Merino
Growing up in mountain bike paradise, Matty started biking at 3 years old. It didn’t take long for him to find a passion for Down Hill Mountain Biking. Every summer since the age of 8yrs old Matty has competed in local races and Crankworx Whistler events. He recently represented Coast Mountain Academy, placing 3rd in the BC High School Provincials in his age category! He’s lucky to have grown up around talented riders like Claire Buchar and Chris Kovarik. He likes riding fast and being in the air. Matty plans to race all the BC cups this upcoming summer.

Hunter Evans
My riding plans this year are to ride park with all my friends, do a lot of dirt jumping and overall have a good time! I got into biking by mostly from my dad. He is a big mountain biker and he really got me into it. I would describe my riding as flowy with a lot of pop. Since I am quite small I can't carry speed like other people so this leads me to be popping out of my shoes! The best bit of biking? Riding with my buddies. I feel that biking isn't biking without riding with your friends! Some of my cycling heroes are Jasper Penton and a popular one Brandon Semenuk.

Dylan Marino
Dylan could bike before he could walk! Lucky to be born and raised in Whistler, Dylan has been biking since he was a toddler and grew up in Whistler’s DFX bike program. This led him to racing, his true passion. Dylan loves to ride fast and loose. After competing in the BC Cup series last summer Dylan placed on top in Fernie and plans to race the series again this coming summer.

Josh Heathcote
My name is Josh Heathcote and I live in Whistler, B.C. I got into mountain biking during the pandemic after realizing that there wasn’t much to do anymore! So I got on my bike, went to my local trail and absolutely loved it. I loved it so much, my family decided to move from Tsawwassen to Whistler, so I could pursue my dreams. As a freerider, I love huge air time, big flips and steep chutes. My biggest mountain biking inspirations would definitely be Kurt Sorge and Cam Zink. I especially love these riders because of the hype and pure happiness they bring to the table when having a session. This 2022 season I’d like to enter the Big White Slope Style competition.
