Video: Conor Macfarlane and Joel Anderson Go Huge in Queenstown

Press Release: Goodyear Bicycle Tires

First launched in 2018 with official licensed partner, Rubber Kinetics, Goodyear’s brand presence continues to make an impact within the global cycling market. In support of the Goodyear brand, Joel Anderson and Conor Macfarlane are being named as the next riders to join the Wingfoot Alliance global athlete and ambassador program.


Joel, based in South West England, is well known for his unique style and energy on the international freeride circuit along with his video edits. Earning his stripes riding shotgun on his dad’s uplift before taking on the British Downhill Series, Joel certainly knows a thing or two about going fast.

Conor, based in New Zealand, is arguably one of the country’s most successful freerider having competed at the pinnacle of freeriding, the Red Bull Rampage. He is equally at home racing the Enduro World Series, demonstrating his commitment to all things mountain bike.


Joel and Conor join recently announced rider, Olly Wilkins, as part of the Goodyear Wingfoot Alliance global ambassador program to support and represent Goodyear Bicycle Tires. The program exemplifies Goodyear Bicycle Tire’s commitment to creating the top-performing bicycle tires, as well as its support of both professional and grassroots levels of cycling.



Goodyear Bicycle Tires is looking to expand the Goodyear Wingfoot Alliance globally at the grassroots level. The Alliance is looking for anyone—from young pinners trying to break through the ranks to veterans learning new tricks.
