Ty Evans Promo 2007 - 14 Year old shredder from Kelowna B.C.

December 12, 2007

Published by gregc


Hey, my name is Greg Christie and I have recently helped film and edit a short promo of my buddy Tyler Evans. I have known Ty for about 3 years now and have been riding with him for 2. Ty has progressed a lot over the last season, and it's just so fun to watch one of your best buddy's looking to step it up and take it to a new level. If you knew Ty you would know he is either on his bike at the time or thinking about his bike. He is just a fun person to be around on, or off the trail. The kid at only 14 years old is a great rider, with potential. And you gotta love his attitude towards our sport. This summer was the greatest time of my life riding with him. And I look forward to the next to come.

tbh i'm not too impressed, but he is good, but i have seen lots of 13-15 year old guys doing the same stuff or even better tricks then that! There are lots of good slopestylekids out there, your one of them!

Plus he doesn't have to fight in a war or work 16 hours a day to support his family.I would be impressed if he was from Rwanda and could still do the same tricks by the same age.

Looking good man, I liked the no handers and the x-ups, keep working at whips and flatties to get your style down. At 14 you are doing good, just remember the most important thing is to have fun, don't get discouraged if you aren't offered a big juicy contract based on this footage, there are a lot of kids with this skill level, the thing that will seperate you from the pack is a good attitude and attendance at events or competitions. Nice work. Nate

Personally I think this is a great little feature where two friends have ridden a bunch together and made a good little flick out of it. The idea behind a "promo" video is to showcase a rider's talents and yes you'll always find a rider that seems to be able to "one up" the next rider, but that is what makes progression happen. I watched the film and I'm twice his age and I can tell you that I cannot do most of the tricks he's pulling. If you've got better footage and think you deserve to be showcased, then take the time to submit it and we'll take the time to show you on site too. Have a great holiday season and put those editing programs to work. Great Video Greg and Ty!

hahaha man I love pinkbike. This is exactly why I dont usually hang out here anymore. I just read the odd interesting topic that catches my eye. THIS being one of them. Ok first off isnt this supposed to be a forum where people who do THE SAME SPORT congratulate another rider!!!, tell him he is good. Kids today seem that its all about location and the bike etc etc. Yeah the location helps, if I could ride that stuff everyday I would be a better rider too. Maybe better than him maybe not who knows WHO CARES. Dude I am 23 and you can kick my ass. Your doing awesome, dont listen to any of these jealous groms. Keep doing your thing!!!

Nice work dude. You should post up some more I'm sure the community here would like to see some progression. After all in ways of sponsorship your going to need it, we have guys in Adelaide (Australia SA) at 14 and 15 that beat you hands down. Bit of a shame its so much harder to get recognized here.

My brother can do all that, but we don't have enough money to buy a nice video or picture camera. And his bike is an 03' Big Hit with monster t's(the cheapest version). oh yeah, we don't have any good places to ride except for 100 miles away. He would kick this kid in the ass in academics and athletics, especially if he had the opportunities this kid has. Peace out.
