Grab your tools and hit the trails of Squamish, B.C. with Orbea enduro racer and winner of the first Pinkbike Academy, Evan Wall!

When he isn’t smashing his bike around in the forest with his buddies, you can find him riding moto or crushing miles on his road bike. He’s one of the most humble and hard-working Canadians and definitely ready to prove himself on the race circuit this summer.

bigquotesThis opportunity with the Orbea Enduro team is what I've been dreaming of since I was a kid. Getting to train and race for a living, I'm taking this opportunity for everything it's worth. Focusing on media, training and racing when Summer comes around.—Evan Wall

bigquotesAfter winning the Pinkbike Academy I decided to take things seriously, not let the fun slip away, so I moved out to Squamish where I started training on the bike, off the bike, on the dirt bike. It's been huge so far, for both skills and strength.—Evan Wall

 What a guy! Living with him this winter, I was continually surprised and impressed with his dedication to riding, training, and digging. Glad to hear you're working hard to keep those "rest days" nice and mellow now!

 I had to enforce "rest film days" as well because he wanted to keep going. A real hard working tail wagging dog.

 Nice Grill... i cooked a brisket this last weekend on a grill just like that, it came out kinda dry, i'll try again this coming weekend. Burgers come out fast btw, next time Evan grab a beer and stay there by the grill to monitor, and they'll come out better.

 Evan was the only reason I watched PB academy, now it'll be the only reason I follow EWS. Regardless of where he places, I'll be supporting this dude.

 Stoked for this kid to do well this season. PBA did a good job of making me really interested in a new up and coming racer's career, so hats off to all.
