Kyleigh Stewart

Growing up in Kamloops, mountain biking became a huge part of my life from a young age. For eight years, I raced as many downhill events as I could and had plenty of fun along the way. One thing that remained a constant throughout the period was my love for riding jumps and pushing my limits. With that, I moved into the world of freeride and got involved with coaching to share the joy of riding bikes with others. For 2023 I’m looking forward to keeping the ball rolling in this direction and can’t wait to show everyone what I’ve got up my sleeve!
