18-08-2022: We are excited to be supporting riders from a huge range of backgrounds and experience. One of our younger supported riders, Erice van Leuven caught up with us before she jetted off to Europe. Watch this space - this girl is tearing it up with so much more to come!
Name: Erice van Leuven
Hometown: Lower Hutt/ Wellington
Current Bike(s): All Commencal, Furious Size small, Supreme XS, currently building a Custom Clash Mullet Size small, Clash junior, Meta HT AM small and an Absolute in small.
My two older brothers first took me riding when I was seven years old, and I haven’t looked back since!
My favourite thing about biking is going out riding with my brothers and doing technical steep trails. I also love jumps.
My favourite trails are 491, my local go-to technical trail that I've been riding for six years, Kaka DH track in Nelson and Dream track in Queenstown.
My biggest achievements by far are winning my first big proper DH race in Rotorua in my category and coming 2nd overall. Landing a back-flip last year and a tuck no-hander on Dream track. UPDATE: Erice achieved 3rd place on her first ever overseas race: 'French Cup Chatel Race' (pulling the fastest time in her category for the steep and techy bottom half of the track too!)
Really keen to get stuck into DH racing big time but also keep it fun with some freeride on the side!
Playing sports like Hockey and hanging out with family and friends.
Maxxis Downhill tyres for sure, Assegai/DHR combo is hard to beat.
Erice runs a full cockpit of Spank as well as Spank pedals and wheels and iXS for Helmet, Goggles & Armour.
Erice will be racing the French DH cup in Châtel, France which runs over the 13/14 Aug as well as a whole line up of other races while she is travelling Europe.
