Ryan Leech (born February 20, 1979 in British Columbia, Canada) is a professional trials mountain bike rider. At 14 he began racing cross-country mountain bikes, 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 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: Manifesto where he attempted to transform trials riding by eliminating setup and recovery hops. In late 2005, Ryan released his latest DVD Mastering the Art of Trials, which was an instructional compilation of 38 Trials related Skills. He still remains active in the mountain biking community, although no longer competitively.

In 2006, Ryan created a school program called [Trials of Life] , a presentation that essentially combines his regular action trials show with an inspirational message oriented toward children. The core of the message boils down to listening to your heart.

Newest DVD - Crux

Ryan has just finished filming for his new film, Crux. The film features riders such as Thomas Ohler, Dylan Korba, and Leech himself. Expected release date of the newest film is November, 2007. Crux is a follow up to his last film, Manifesto.
