Growing up in the mountain bike paradise of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, there was no way Brandon Semenuk was not going to learn how to ride a mountain bike at a young age.
His older brother got him into the sport when Semenuk was just six years old and, by age nine, he started entering cross-country races on the BC circuit. Competing in his first BC Cup race aged just nine, it didn’t take long for Semenuk to dominate the cross-country circuit -- and quickly burn out on the race scene.
