Up and Comer Interviews - Noah Brousseau

I have known and ridden with Noah for a couple of years now and have always been a fan of his buttery smooth style. Downhill or Dirtjumps, Noah's style will blow you away. Coming 3rd two years in a row at Goat Style, Destroying Crankworx 09, and doing well in the BC cup for 2010. Read on to hear what Noah has to say for himself

Interview, Pictures and Video's inside...I decided since I'm injured I would start to do a lot more of these interviews. Let you know a little bit about the best riders in Western Canada. This time around we got Vernon local Noah Brousseau. Noah is well known in Western Canada and has some great success in his biking career so far, and looks forward to many more

Harrison- Introduce yourself

Noah- Hey I'm Noah Brousseau I'm 16 from Vernon B.C.

Harrison- What's the riding scene like in Vernon?

Noah- Its pretty good, we have a few jumps, Brads house is awesome and Silverstar is really fun


Harrison- So you DH and DJ, what do you prefer?

Noah - Depends, the whole racing scene with the racers is kinda dumb. Dirtjumping is sick though just wish there was more comps and stuff like that

Harrison-I agree we need more DJ comps, what makes the racing dumb?

Noah- How serious everyone makes it, I just wish it was more chill like Slopestyle or Dirtjumping


Harrison- Do you ride better in pressure of a competition or just riding with friends?

Noah- It all really depends on the mood and who's watching

Harrison- I see, What's your favorite Bike Park in B.C? Why

Noah- Silverstar, Its 15 mins from my house, when you learn the trails you find your own awesome lines and can rip it. Pro star is awesome too.


Harrison- About how many times a year do you ride there?

Noah- Didnt get a seasons this year but road a decent amount

Harrison- Any plans for racing next year?

Noah- I don't really know haha, try and take it more serious, maybe wear a pajama suit?


Harrison- What's it like being on Team Wolf?

Noah- Pretty out of control at some times, everyone has chilled out alot more now though. Wyper is trying to take his career seriously, but living in whistler doesn't help that.

Harrison- Now lets here about your 2009 Crankworx

Noah- I won the dual slalom, crashed in the giant slalom finals, and lost my shoe got 2nd.


Harrison- How was Goat Style for you in 09 and 10?

Noah- It was really awesome both years, in 09 there was a sick transfer and the 10 coarse was scary, everything was way bigger. I didn't crash once and got 3rd both years in Senior Intermediate.


Harrison - What else did you attend in 2010?

Noah - At the start of the season I raced "race the ranch." I got 3rd, then there was the unicorn 5001 I got 2nd, then went to colorado for Teva and it was awesome. After that it was BC Cup #2 in Nanimo. I hit a tree and lost my shoe and ended up with 11th then it was arduum after almost getting lost and dying I got 9th, it was scary. Then it was bear I crashed into a tree and fell into a big rock. After bear it was goatjam and that was so awesome, then crankworks colorado I raced the duals and got 6th or something. I got a concussion in slope style practice and couldn't ride qualifying. After it was crankworks whistler i chilled and didnt race good.

Harrison- Who do you usually travel with?

Noah- Depends, Wyper/Reece/Sam/LMM to Teva, and Casey to Crankworxs Colorado. My mommy or Brad Mills to most races


Harrison- Any last shout outs or words of advice?

Noah Learn to ride a bike before a backflip haha, but seriously, do it. Thanks to Rocky Mountain Bicycles, RaceFace, Skyride Cycle, Lavan Apparel, S.D.G USA.
