We’re stoked to welcome Nick Riemer – a BC rider, accomplished skier and mountain bike creator, to our growing roster of Canadian ambassadors.
It took exactly one lap down Whistler Bike Park’s A-Line for Nick to get hooked on mountain biking four years ago, and he hasn’t really stopped since – hoots, hollers, a couple of hospital visits, and a steady stream of MTB videos included. These days he calls Kelowna, BC home, and he’s bringing a Collosus N8 along for the ride: an enduro mountain bike suited to the kind of aggressive, all-mountain riding that got him into this sport in the first place.
But bikes are actually the second act of Nick’s story. Long before A-Line, he was pizza-ing his way down the bunny hill at Edmonton Ski Club at age six, which eventually turned into a slopestyle and big air career competing across Canada. A fractured L5 vertebra at 17 put a hard stop to that, or so it seemed, until a YouTube channel he started during recovery connected him with a community of thousands who shared his obsession with the sport.
That channel became the bridge back to real mountains once he healed up, and from there his world only got bigger: skiing alongside childhood heroes, filming world records, and eventually landing in the Crankworx commentary booth, all before mountain biking even entered the picture.
“Sometimes, what seem like the biggest hurdles in life can create the most beautiful opportunities.” — Nick Riemer
Between the ski edits, the commentary gigs, and now a Polygon in the garage, Nick’s become something of a connector between two communities.

The Polygon roster just grew by one. Glad to have you, Nick!
