The Petrolia Team riders consist of the best there is to be had.


The Petrolia riders are:

1 - Barry Mielke
2 - Jeffrey Hewitt
3 - Alex Poirier
4 - Chris Stevens
5 - Andrew Samela
6 - Malcom McCaskill
7 - Tyler Cross
& Honourary member Matt Holdron.

Barry Mielke rode when he was a youngin' like me, but had to put his riding on hold for more important stuff, but now he's back on his bike and killing it even with two little girls (Talia & Avery).  Current member of the Canadian Flatland Organization and founder of the Petrolia Jams and SummerCamp Contests.  Barry has helped flatland out a lot around here and keeps us riding.  He's currently riding a blue FBM and rides it well!

Jeffrey Hewitt moved away to Alberta this year, but left a big mark on the Petrolia Flatland scene.  He always pushed everyone to ride their hardest and kept me out until 2:00am in the Winter on school nights!  This guy was the definition of hardcore!  He rode a blue Hoffman EP for the longest time but now rocks out on purple Fly Simple.

I am Alex Poirier, and lets just say that I have no plans in leaving, or to stop riding anytime soon, so watch out!

Chris Stevens started riding after I did, but still manages to keep me on my heals with his back wheel trickery and mad front wheel. Chris is the definition of under-rated as no one sees this kid ride like I do. He throws out new tricks almost everytime I ride with him, and then never does them again, but his obsession with Time Machines leads people to believe thats all he does, but just you wait until I get a video camera in front of him....Just you wait...With the help of his new KHE from Jeff Desrosche, his riding only gets more insane by the day!

Andrew Samela is currently behind me in another room playing ping pong, do I have to say anymore? I guess so...Andrew dabbles in a little of front wheel, and a little of back wheel, with his weird switches and stunning orange Fly Simple, he rocks out and is riding harder then ever.

Malcom would be the Petrolia's newest scene member, as he rides his Ares Force almost as if he uses the force with his mad jedi ninja skills. I haven't rode with Malcom much, but enough to know he's got potential and shall try to get some pictures of him up shortly!

Tyler Cross rode with me back in the days of good ol' elementary school, and me and him were always neck in neck seeing who could scuff the most fork glides and roll the longest cat walks.  Tyler's bike got stolen from him and his riding seized, but hes back on my old Pony, and expect to see more of him!

Matt Holdron is an honourary member of the Petrolia Flatland Crew as he lived with me for two weeks.  It was good to have him around and he has an endless supply of trick ideas for everyone.
