Pedal Montclair: What do you ride?
Wyheem: Well, my go-to ride is a Pivot Firebird 27.5, one of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden! When I want to switch from trails to the pumptrack/dirt jumps I hop on my Pivot Point. I also have a Pivot Shuttle LT that I share with wifey. When I want to hit some gnar and descents are the main attraction, I just grabbed a Santa Cruz V-10 for the bike parks!
Pedal Montclair: Favorite places to ride? Why?
Wyheem: This one is close to home and always a gem, Mountain Creek bike park. When I have the time to travel, Thunder Mountain has the best dirt and FORT HILL!!! Oh yeah! Talk about adrenaline pumping runs! When the snow falls, temperatures plummet and trails are closed, I travel as often as possible out to Cleveland, Ohio. There you will find a theme park for bikes at Ray’s Indoor MTB park. There are endless possibilities of line choices and things to ride. It never gets boring.
Pedal Montclair: Where would you go on your ultimate biking trip?
Wyheem: Oh that’s a tough one…if I had to pick it would have to be Whistler BC. The Mecca of mountain biking. Also the French alps for all the bike parks.
Pedal Montclair: Advice to any newcomers?
Wyheem: Take it slow and just keep on pedaling. It’s the only way you will get better, remember nobody was born with this talent. The longer you sit in the saddle, the more comfortable you will be and the better your riding will improve. Also support your local bike shops, they will always point you in the right direction for what type of riding you want to do.
Pedal Montclair: Who's your favorite rider?
Wyheem: Brandon Semenuk, there is nothing that man can’t ride.
