Ambassadors of Outdoor Adventure

We’re proud to support and collaborate with our athletes in their mountain pursuits.

Merin Pearce

Growing up on Vancouver Island I quickly found an appreciation for the outdoors. Mountain bikes were my main vessel of exploration which led me to Enduro racing in the EWS series. Since then, sharing experiences in nature has stoked my fire. I have the privilege to facilitate adventures and new discoveries with people as a biking guide and coach for Nolan Riding. On any given day you’ll find me on my bike and skis exploring the mountains or relaxing on the beach reminiscing on past adventures.

Ben Byerz

Ben Byerz

I grew up in Victoria BC where I explored the south island through riding and hiking. My passion for riding led me to take the Mountain Bike Operations program offered through Capilano University. Through that program I focused on trail building and that is what got me to where I am today. I spend my winters in the rain on Vancouver Island and my summers in the dust up at Silver Star Bike Park. In my riding I have a strong dirt jump background but I’ve always been keen to pedal. This has allowed me to explore a variety of different disciplines of riding. I am proud of where I am and excited for future adventures!

Tara Walmsley

Tara got her first mountain bike back when she was 14, over 2 decades later she’s still trying to get outside as much as possible. Tara grew up in Ontario with a mostly XC style background and moved to Calgary in 2007 where the DH/Enduro bug kicked in. She began racing DH in 2012 and onto Enduro for 2013 where she competed in many of the enduro series’ throughout Canada and the USA for the following 5 years. Now a days you can catch Tara out enjoying mountains with friends and coaching up and coming riders giving them the skills to help their confidence grow.
