Juan Diego ‘Johny’ Salido

Freeride Mountain Bike Star

Freeride mountain bike star Johny Salido is one of the most radical people we’ve ever met. Born in Guadalajara Mexico, Johny’s taste for extreme riding came at a very young age. Everything from enduro, dirt jump, downhill to freeride - he is pushing the limits of what is possible on a bicycle. His talents early on were solidified at the 2014 Mexican National Championship where he took top honors at 15 years old. 

Since then, Johny’s competitive endeavors were always met with an insatiable desire to produce world-class video content of his travels. From Latin America, to Canada & Europe - Johny is tackling some of the most treacherous runs with style and creativity that have received critical accolades and tens of millions of views in the process. 

The confidence in building these video parts was met with a standout performance where he finished second in The Proving Grounds. The result was an automatic qualification for the Red Bull Rampage, the most prestigious event in the mountain bike world. He was the first person from Mexico to qualify, making history in the process.

When Johny isn’t flying down a hill, he’s enjoying Costa Tequila with his friends and family. “I appreciate those who think differently. We’re both into reimagining the possibilities of our fields, and it’s exciting to support a stellar Mexican-made product.”- Johny Saldio
