Welcome back to Legends of Dirt for the fifth week. To build on our diverse team of riders, we would like to introduce Ben Byers, this guy is an animal on a bike. Ben puts a whole new meaning to a do-it-all biking whether he's spinning XC, putting fast times down DH tracks or spinning his bike through the jump trails, he'll probably beat you to the bottom and do it with style.

About Ben:
I was born in the small town of Camrose, Alberta but I moved to Vancouver Island at an early age. Growing up on the Island gave me an incredible environment to explore on two wheels. I started out riding cross-country with the old man and quickly realized all I wanted to do was get both wheels off the ground as often as I could. I turned my focus to riding dirt jumps and started riding and digging in the local dirt jump scene. After secondary school, I attended Capilano's Mountain Bike Operations program. I met a lot of great people through that course as well I met Cam Sorensen (Bike Park Director). This will be my third year here up at SilverStar as a part of the Trail Crew. I'm excited to be representing SilverStar not only as a trail builder but as a rider. My riding style definitely grew from dirt jumping but has expanded to many different disciplines. I am excited about this upcoming season on the mountain. Along with SilverStar, I will also be representing Mountain Exposure. I cannot thank them enough for the support. See you on the trails!
