Ryan Leech (Born 1979, British Columbia, Canada) is a professional trials mountain bike rider. At 14 he began racing mountain, inspired by Team ORB. Ryan began getting increasingly involved in trials riding throughout the mid 90's. At age 16 Ryan became one of the youngest trials event organizers ever after he organized and won a competition in which he held in his front yard. In the spring of 1996 Ryan joined Team ORB which subsequently changed into The Norco Factory Team in 1998. At age 24 Ryan married Caryn Tressel. He has performed in many events across North America and has made appearances in many different mountain biking films including: The Kranked Series, Ride to the Hills, The Collective and Roam, among many others. In 2004 Ryan produced and starred in his own film: The Manifesto where he attempted to transform trials riding by eliminating setup and recovery hops. He still remains active in the mountain biking community, although no longer competitively.
