Ed Masters

“My name is Ed Masters, I’m a kiwi joker who loves to ride his bike. I’ve been riding and racing for almost 20 years and I’m having as much fun today as when it all started out for me. What started as a dream has become a reality it’s something that I’m really proud of and also really grateful for. Mountain biking has given me so many friendships, experiences and laughs and it’s my goal to continue having fun and inspiring people to get out on two wheels.“

Off the Bike Hobbies: Online Poker

Favorite Trail: Coronet Peak DH into Rude Rock into Hot Rod. Queenstown, NZ

Favorite Bike:

Switchblade – It’s the Swiss army knife of the Pivot range for me. Honestly it’s just so much fun to ride, its slightly shorter travel means it gives it back to ya and I love taking it on terrain that’s probably a bit much for a 142mm because I know it can handle it. It’s a lot of fun to throw around on jumps and it’s the bike that I find myself on the most. It’s my daily driver.

Matt Walker

“Hi, I’m Matt Walker from a small town in New Zealand. I ride for the Pivot Factory team on the Crankworx, Downhill World Cup and Enduro World Series circuits! Racing is a huge part of my life and who I am, but I’m always inspired by those who are enjoying what they are doing, regardless of what it is. If you are stoked then I’m stoked. We all start riding for the fun so I think it’s important to make sure you always try to find that fun and keep those levels up, whether it’s who you ride with, where you ride, progressing or even just scaring yourself, if you find it fun, do it and do it a lot! “

Morgane Charre

“My name is Morgane Charre, I was born in South of France and moved to the Alps when I was 18. I started riding BMX at the skatepark and dirt jumps when I was 13 and discovered DH a few years later. I love any mountain activities: I do a lot of skiing, trail running and mountain biking of course. Education is important to me, I studied physics and worked in the aeronautics industry before I was a pro rider.“

Disciplines: Enduro and a bit of Downhill

Favorite Trail: Les Encarnes, La Clusaz, France

Favorite Bike:

The new Firebird is such an awesome bike. It pedals really well and is super efficient on any kind of trails. You can really pump and gain speed on flatter trails and it makes me feel totally confident to push on rougher and steeper trails. It’s fun to ride and fast to race. The perfect bike for me!
