Crew leader

Eric Melson

Eric spent a lifetime working in shops and has been obsessed with bikes ever since he can remember. He runs a small coaching and guiding company in western Montana called Ride Montana, and is the general manager for a youth enduro development team called Ride Montana Racing.

When he’s not coaching or shredding, he can be found lobbying in the statehouse, volunteering for the local trails organization, and assisting non-profits as a consultant.
