Rhymes with Shreddie. Hailing from Southern California, Eddie rides with a presence and authority that translates to jaw dropping energy and prowess no matter what soil is under his wheels. He’s equally at home pushing the limits of our bikes, ripping stylish edits of his riding, or slapping dirt and building trail.
