My Bike is… a Kona Bass

My bike is a Kona Bass

I’ve probably done about 450 back flips on that bike in the last month, I try to ride hard everyday, all day, every hour.
I have smashed that bike into the ground countless times, I have broken a few parts along the way, some of them have been my own.
I always take my Kona Bike to Kelowna Cycle, they know what they are doing, they all ride like I do… with passion.

I am Benton Leong, you can see me airborne in the Kelowna Cycle Dirt Zone at The Centre of Gravity, August Long weekend

Sponsorship & Goals

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:33:23 +0000

Sponsorship history:

Rode for Gerick’s Cycle: 2006-2008
Riding for Kelowna Cycle, Kona, MMP Graphic Design

Goals:

My goals as a mountain bike rider are to push and progress my skill as much as possible each year while attending as many jump/slopestyle/freeride bike competitions possible while promoting your name. I love to work together with team riders and too feed off and encourage each other.

Sponsorship Goals:

Being a sponsored rider to me means being out there as much as I can weather it’s in a big competition or if it’s my everyday riding around people in general. Also to you posted and broadcast my name and your name in any riding updates, weather it would be in a blog or latest video. Being sponsored at any level means it’s a job for me and that I must work at it not just relax and have fun. My goal is to promote your name as much as I can, and to gain recognition as a rider to grow bigger in all the skills I have.

Who I’ve Been shooting with:

Shot with Dan Barham photography, Epic mountain Pete(epic mountain videos), and Mike Crane photography, and a day with the Redbull suga.
