AARON BRUCE - Sales Floor Troupe
BIKING STYLE OF CHOICE: Enduro/DH/Freeride
FAVORITE RIDE: The ones where everyone is stoked.
WHY DO YOU RIDE: Fun. Yes, training is all good. However, I have never looked at a bike as an exercise machine. As a kid, a bike has always exercised the imagination.
FUN FACT: A fox can run up to 45 miles per hour.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RIDING: I have always had a bike, leaving the training wheels and finding balance by rolling down a steep hill. In 2012 I didn' t have a bike because my interest was aimed at cars, but in 2018 I caught a video of people doing what I never thought possible on a bike. I then found videos of Jordie Lunn. At that moment I was hooked and have been seriously riding since.
FAVORITE POST RIDE ACTIVITY: ...vibe
BUCKET LIST ADVENTURE/RIDE: I'd love to visit places like Canada, New Zealand, UK, Japan and so on. The goal, however, is to be riding at an insane level like Jordie Lunn.
