The team at SOLE has worked closely with Ryan over the past several months to develop an entirely new demonstration rig for Ryan. The set up is complete with a sweet new Volkswagen Touareg, matching trailer, and a series of ramps, rails, and boxes for Ryan and the other Norco Factory Team riders to perform on. The upgrade to Ryan's set up will raise his profile and many eyebrows at every one of the 175 high- energy demonstrations he performs in an average year.

"This new sponsorship deal has been a long time in the making," quotes Mike Baker, President of SOLE Custom Footbeds. "We have a great working relationship with Ryan. Ryan had dreamt about a new obstacle set up for some time. Our design team took on the challenge of making his dream obstacle set-up a reality. The results are impressive. By adding a new Touareg to pull the larger trailer and wrapping it in graphics, Ryan's set up is second to none. Many heads will turn when they see him roll up to an event. As it is, he steals the show everywhere he goes. Now he will steal the show even before it begins! Ryan is a true professional at his sport and a great ambassador of the SOLE Custom Footbeds brand. We're proud to work with him."

Ryan Leech is one of the world's best trials riders. The 26-year old from Port Moody, B.C. has already accumulated quite a list of noteworthy accomplishments. He has performed for the Cirque du Soleil, the Van's Warped tour, and has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including his own DVD entitled Manifesto. He was recently featured in the hit mountain bike film, 'The Collective' and currently working on his new film 'Mastering the art of trials riding', Ryan's career is in high gear.

Ryan notes "I'm thrilled to be part of a team that's charging forward with such huge enthusiasm. I use and believe in SOLE's product 100%, so it won't be hard to the spread the good word!! SOLE's approach to sponsorship is great, not only are they willing to commit resources toward a cause, but also time; which in my opinion is the most valuable asset a company can provide".
