Commemorative Trials Trix

ryan — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:19:06 +0000

My parents are proud of my career as a pro mountain biker, what a blessing to have their support through the years. As I diversify my offerings in the world to include yoga and Integral Coaching®, my Dad decided to present me with a gift to commemorate my years thus far as a pro.

He secretly began tinkering in his workshop attempting to modify one of those bmx flick trix models to look like my trials bike. It didn’t work. So he started from scratch!

A reference picture and some brass tubing...

Through the years Norco has been kind enough to continue tweaking and making me trials frames exactly as I like, and I’ve been riding a white Manifesto frame for the last few. With careful measurements and soldering, clever jigs and fixtures, my Dad managed to replicate it, in miniature!

The pieces coming together...

During my career, I have partnered with many supportive sponsors, on the back of the Trials Trix packaging, my dad listed them, including my very first bike shop sponsor Rocky Cycle in Surrey. For accuracy, he sought the kind advice of Peter Stace-Smith and Jonathan Duncan at Norco, my wife Caryn, and her sister Corinne for some photos. Clearly the detail work wasn’t reserved just for the model…

The details...

With the packaging details in place, the bike still needed painting and decals. Somehow, my Dad managed to getterdun. The model in total length is just 4″, so those are tiny decals!

The Norco Manifesto Model

To complete the ensemble, he packed it up in a clean, off the shelf style packaging. A touching gift to represent some amazing memories. THANKS DAD!

Norco Truax-First Ride

ryan — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:12:44 +0000

Happy Early Christmas to a spoiled Pro-Rider! A brand new Norco Truax, decked with the best of Shimano and Rock Shox. Oh how that hard knock life turned buttery smooth on my first ride out…

A factory team custom build

Last year, I requested one go-go-gatchet trail bike, it was delivered in the form of a Norco Range. For 2012, I thought I’d add some variety. My two bikes of choice are The Revolver (for which I’m still in lively anticipation of), and The Truax. Jay Hoots = Truax, yes; but Ryan Leech < Truax. In other words, I’m not worthy of it’s magnificence (Jay, that means I’m not worthy of you too brotha!).

My first interpretation of the name is based on the fact that it’s a Shore style bike, and the Shore is dense with trees, and you need a True Ax if you want any hopes of navigating and surviving out there. You gotta have the right tool, at least that’s what Dad always said. Good luck with that argument kids My silly interpretations aside, the real reason is that an employee summited Mt. Truax, a 9450 foot peak near Bralorne, BC.

Post Build Smile

My first ride was solo, roll on the road for 10 minutes, hit the trails at Burnaby mountain for a climb up and rip down. Sunny skies with lingering mud made for a true break in blast.

Pedaling up proved true to the ART suspension platforms claim that a rearward rear wheel axle path combined with pedaling eliminates unwanted pedal bob. Seems that the leg energy I saved transfered directly into grinnage on the way down Gear jammer; the pleasing ease of bump compliance is due partly for the same reason it pedals up so nicely, a rear wheel axle travel path gets the wheel out of the way faster on sharp hits, good deal indeed.

The bike isn't the only one absorbing

Now, it would be easy for a technoweenie to overindulge in the marvel of such a well balanced red beauty, but for a true experience, the scenery needs to be acknowledged by stopping every now and then to oogle at more than the bike. This isn’t a race bike, drop down into a Norco Phaser or up to an Aurum if youre concerned with times; but havin’-a-time on this bike in the forest means feeling the air and wind on the skin, smelling rotting logs, listening to birds and the tree branch rustle, acknowleding passers by, sensing the interconnectedness of the delicate ecosystem that functions with such effortlessly ease. This kind of tuning-in brings another layer of free to the freeride experience. Ride ON!

BC Athlete Voice

Introduced, in conference style, the

Telus Athlete Voice Leadership School

I attended this opening yesterday as an Athlete Mentor, and have been matched up with two High School Athlete Leaders.

We’ll jam together over the next four months!

The conference featured 3 guest speakers, by Senior Athlete Leaders Steve Podborski, Diane Clement (or Mumma C), and Dr. Dory Boyer.

They presented to the 12 mentors and the 24 student athletes, at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Some common themes emerged from their words, the top three points were very similar.

Steve: (Olympic Medalist and World Cup DH skiing Champion 1982), only non European ever to hold this title)

1. What you learn as an athlete will be applied to life

2. Have impeccable preparation (his teammate filed binding for less wind resistance, though it didn’t make a difference physically, mentally it was impeccable and he won that day)

3. Teamwork: He radioed up to teammate to give tip on course helping him win a world cup, a faux pas of the day that other teams wouldn’t do

Diane: (Olympian & medalists at Commonwealth games in 1958)

1. Lessons learned in sport are with you for life

2. Honesty and Integrity (Impeccability) with yourself, be truthful with yourself, (this last one is a huge topic!)

3. Most important, become a team player, teamwork

Dr. Dory Boyer: (Orthopedic Surgeon & Medical Services manager for VANOC)

1. Hard work, but it was a chance to make a difference and experience is with you for life

2. In his VANOC prep, he left no gap in services, (again impeccable preparation, led to VANOC being new standard in medical service orchestration)

3. Building a strong team with great communication is key for success

It has been almost 15 years since my high school graduation, so I’m excited to tune into the world of a teenage athlete and show up with them such that the four pillars of successful mentoring are fulfilled:

Support

Empowerment

Challenge

Communicate

What do those mean to you? What I do know is that at 32 years of age these words may have slightly different meanings than they would at age 15. So I’m excited to learn a thing or two about the world of today’s highschoolers.

Thanks BC Athlete Voice for including me in this program, and allowing a unique venue to share and grow my experiences.

Testimonials for Ryan Leech – Integral Coach™

ryan — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:12:40 +0000

My coaching specialty is working with those whose success has led them into a position of role modelship, which often results in myriad professional or private life challenges that can affect performance, enjoyment, and well-being. If you’re considering my services in this realm, or any other, I hope these testimonials will support your decision…

I wanted to acknowledged your gift as a coach. I find you to be an empathetic, non-judgmental listener and by this, able to gently guide explorations of self and self-improvement. I am impressed by your ability to guide what feels like a focused conversation, yet keep careful notes (mental or otherwise) that are reflected in both the foundation and the focus practices you offer me. I feel really fortunate to have taken the risk with something so foreign to me some months ago, and to be continuing to reap the benefits since that first leap of faith. Thank you for sharing you wisdom and ability to identify ways to achieve one’s goals. It’s a gift that you share so comfortably with others.

-Gini

“Ryan was sensitive, inspiring and supportive coach who helped me work through an uncertain period of my career, by creating a program that mixed reflective and active exercises that helped me gain greater awareness of my tendencies and to clarify my goals. In response to my initial situation, he crafted a program that challenged me, and refined it over five months according to my progress and active feedback.”

-Germaine Koh

Ryan’s compassionate nature allowed me to really feel safe to trust open up about my career challenges that I had been having. Working with his relaxed yet structured pace he was able to guide me to a new way of seeing my ‘problem’ which ultimately led me to having a big breakthrough!!

-Treena Neil

“My Integral Coaching® journey with Ryan was amazing. The skills I developed through practice helped me grow and achieve goals in key areas of life. I will cherish the knowledge and depth he has allowed me to discover and am looking forward to the next stages in my life.”

-Melissa Walkley

I highly recommend Ryan as an Integral Coach. His commitment to his clients and this program is clear and focused. With his easy going, positive, and engaging personality, Ryan is easy to build a trusting relationship with. His coaching strategies are insightful and constructive, and he genuinely wants to help you succeed in your goals.

-Roger P.

“For those interested in pursuing Integral Coaching® through with Ryan Leech, I’d like to relate some of my experiences and perceptions.

There is much in life that becomes habit not so much out of intention as happenstance. My coaching experience with Ryan really brought to the fore perspectives and practices that I’ve been able to use to create new ways of being, new habits, that reflect a more genuine me. Practices that helped bring about a more intentional me.

Beginning with some foundational practices tailored to my lifestyle, Ryan helped me reestablish some long-lost habits related to my physical wellbeing. These exercises, spread throughout the week, formed the basis from which much of the remaining changes ensued. Intimately coupled with these practices were opportunities for thoughtful reflection; again tailored to my specific goals… and throughout, journaling helped me solidify ideas and perceptions that were being revealed throughout the time we worked together, and continue to today.

Ryan is a gifted listener. Unhurried and settled were our times together. We followed a clearly delineated agenda for each meeting which was pertinent and had a natural flow, an agenda focused on my needs and goals for growth. The insights provided by Ryan were flawless and continually had me in awe of the growing revelations I was experiencing about myself. Ryan’s skill in discerning potential for, then eliciting those changes in perspective is inspiring. The ultimate host, Ryan has genius for creating a low stress environment for exploring deeply personal landscapes. This said, the Integral Coaching program is rigorous, both physically and intellectually. The degree of change, as in any training regimen, is directly related to the effort one puts in. Ryan’s commitment to my desired change was palpable, and I was confident from the communication before our first meeting, that I was going to be pushed by my coach to achieve more than I thought possible at the outset.

The results of the time I spent in introspection, and expression through writing and talking with Ryan have manifest themselves in amazing ways. After years in a position that I complained often sucked the life out of me, I made some changes that have altered the course of my career. I began to advocate for things that will improve my situation and those with whom I come into contact professionally. My satisfaction in my work situation has changed immeasurably. Working to acknowledge my self-doubt, and understand its roots, I applied for a change at work that has me in an extraordinary new position. A position with huge challenges that I look forward to meeting. At home, I have been far more deliberate in how I relate to my family. My family life has never been bad. Through consistently downplaying my own perspectives though, I’d created resentment within myself for situations of my own making. The intentional valuing of the perspectives of those whom I love, as well as my own, has allowed me to approach formerly frustrating facets of our lives together with greater tenderness for all involved.

I don’t think it outrageous to say that I am a changed person. A person closer to who I want me to be. A more genuine reflection of the person I’ve longed to rediscover. There is always room for growth. I am grateful to Ryan for the care and focus. I believe that I am now in possession of many of the tools I need to continue the growth begun through the Integral Coaching™ program offered by Ryan. For this, I am profoundly grateful.”

Role Modelship 101 – The Autograph: 10 tips for signing posters

ryan — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 01:50:48 +0000

My guess is that I’ve signed as many or more posters than any other pro mtn biker in history. A big claim, but it is my ritual to sit down with a stack of posters after every trials show and sign free posters. Having performed more than 2000 shows, and signed anywhere from 10 to 100 posters a show, well, it’s a lot of posters! Based on my experience, he are some tips to prepare you for the next time a fan comes up to you requesting your John Hancock! If that’s not likely to happen, hope this post at least amuses you

San Francisco Bike Expo 2011

Mutualize the interaction, human to human, with eye contact and touch (high five or handshake). Don’t ‘check-out’ and go on autopilot, it’s not fun for you or the fan!
Personalize it by asking for and writing their name on the poster. Make sure you ask for spelling, and if you ask if the spelling is correct afterward, know that they may say yes even thought it’s wrong, so pay attention to their subtle clues (pause in answer, pitch in voice, body language). If you make a mistake, start with a fresh poster.
If you forget their name before writing it down (very common when presence wains), just ask them to spell it and hope you’re not busted with a response such as “B”, “o”, “b”.
Know when to ask “what’s you’re name” or “who can I make it out to” based on whether it is a fan or an Uncle getting a poster for his nephews; this is done by sensing the level of excitement, nervousness, and facial expression.
If the line up isn’t too long, add a quick message that applies to the age of recipient; my favorite go-to’s are “Ride ON!”, “Have fun”, or “Practice, Patience, Persistence…”. What might yours be? (I need new ideas!!!)
Use a refillable marker to save waste, and write their name small and your signature big and bold. Strive to make both the actual signature and the execution of it an artistic expression.
Don’t sign expensive kids clothing because you might have to answer to their parents later.
When signing jerseys or shirts, stretch them tight, with the front and back separated so it doesn’t bleed through, and then sign with the edge of your pen so it doesn’t catch the material.
Use a refillable water bottle to drink water from to set a good sustainability example.
Know that the last few people you’re rushing to sign a poster for may be those that your conscious attention with may be a big deal to them even if it’s not for you. Encourage this by asking them a question and engaging.

Have you recived a poster from me before? Did I live up to these suggestions? Ride ON!

Interview with MTB Strength Training Systems

ryan — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:59:20 +0000

The timing of this interview with James Wilson of MTB Stength Training Systems came at a mutually interesting time. James has been looking at the integration of body weight oriented exercises and stretches, and I have been looking at integrating resistence oriented exercies into my regime. Although he is interviewing me in this particular dialogue, we kick back and forth a few ideas about keeping not only the body healthy, but doing so in such a way that deeper layers of health and well being are created.

Check out the interview here.

A relieving promo postcard post

ryan — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:20:57 +0000

I just signed off on the copy for a new promotional postcard that I’ll be sending out to support the launch of my new Integral Coaching® business. I had so much to say in only a small amount of space, so I’m using this post as a way to relieve myself from all the extra words flying through my mind!

Here’s the postcard link and wording: (thanks Ben for the polished design)

RL Coaching Postcard

Open–Flow–Flourish

Open to what deeply matters

Flow with personalized life practices

Flourish with clear intention and action

What aspirations feel out of reach? What inner-knowing is being quietly suppressed? Do you struggle with a particular aspect of your lifestyle?

My name is Ryan Leech, a Professional Integral Coach™. Together, we will create a progressive program that will awaken the dormant potential necessary for meaningful results and a feeling of re-enchantment with your life.

During my 16 year career as a pro-athlete, entrepreneur, and entertainer, I combined creativity with practice, patience, and perseverance, resulting in a unique reputation for making the impossible seem effortless. This experience combined with extensive training in the Integral Coaching® methodology, has primed me to hold the co-creative conditions for powerful realizations to emerge.

And here’s the expanded reasoning, I know I know, exciting blog post …

Open: Clients begin with an idea or intuitive sense of what they’d like to work on, and during our first session, there is often a deeper opening as to what that is and most importantly why it matters so much.

Flow: The life practices in the coaching program are often challenging yet need to flow with the clients often busy daily routines, this is why the practices need to be personalized and co-created.

Flourish: My programs have a beginning and end; usually between 3-8 months vs other coaching approaching where it is an ongoing process. Because new capacities are built and stabalized through an evolving practice regime, and because clients begin to see and understand their challenges in fresh ways at a foundational level, they can thus move forward in a clear, self motivated way without the need to ‘lean on’ the coach as a crutch.

Everyone has aspirations of some sort, how in-tune and apparent they are to the individual varies, hence the way in which they are addressed. Additionally, many aspirations feel out of reach, this may be because the first step seems too big or scary, or life circumstances are too messy, or because of low self esteem or an inability to believe in ones potential, the list goes on.

It seems many people have an inner-knowing that things could be better, but often this knowing can’t be put into words, so it is suppressed, and this might lead to a silent suffering. Often, all that is needed are the right conditions, such as in a coaching relationship, for these inner-knowings to be released, understood, and worked with.

Even those that are successful in one aspect of their life, may struggle in another. Being incredibly skilled at hockey doesn’t mean you’ll have the interpersonal skills necessary for a mutually fulfilling relationship; or deep emotional understanding doesn’t necessarily mean your morals are in step.

People evolve and develop, though it is easy to get stuck in a rut, stalled, unmotivated, or depressed. Dormant and unlimited potential is available, and through an integral life practice, new habits are formed that awaken the capacities necessary for meaningful results. This experience will bring a steady re-enchantment to daily life.

Making the impossible seem effortless is an interesting reputation, understandable from what people see me do on a bike. What is often kept secret is the amount of practice, patience, and perseverance invested behind the scenes, both physically and mentally. I have and am applying the same rigor to my new role as an Integral Coach™, and earned my certification as a result. Based on this profile, I hope it’s clear that I’m dedicated to my craft of choice, which currently is Integral Coaching®, it is my expertise in the Integral Coaching® methodology that I’m hired for, and thus my ability to create and hold the conditions necessary for powerful realizations to emerge; one way to look at it is that I leave clients with their wisdom, not mine.

Inundated with Inspiration

ryan — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:22:04 +0000

One look at your facebook or twitter feed, or Lululemon bag will expose you to the latest inspiring quote or idea for success and happiness. I love all these great tips about healthy living that are now so readily accepted; it represents a new shared concern for how our lives are lived. But I’ve just been struck by the quantity of it flying around recently! Anyone else notice this? A few thoughts…

So which bit of wisdom will benefit your particular life circumstances best? And how do you then integrate this wisdom into your complicated life so useful results occur? How do we go from this momentary excitement with an inspiring quote, to foundational change that has lasting effect?

One theory on how change occurs is, and you might need to read this slowly: You begin to look at yourself objectively so that a new-you can begin intentionally changing what is no longer serving, and through practice a new-you is formed. Voila! Simple right?

Theoretically yes, but it takes time, especially if you go-it-alone, and going it alone may not reveal the key issues that need work, we all have blindspots that’s for sure (I used to think I was perfect until coaching shed some light!). Casual feedback can also help, such as that from your husband or wife, but good luck translating that into useful new habits and friends are usually just too darned nice to speak the truth!

Moving from the satisfying “ah-ha” inspiration of potential that we intuit possible–to foundational change can be difficult and often painful. Solo short term application of these random tips while avoiding the hard work and dedication that is usually required doesn’t often bring the change desired. Have you experienced this?

So getting to the point, moving from temporary inspiration after reading a cool quote, to the daily practice of literally creating that intuited reality requires a lot more hard work, dedication, and conviction than one might initially think. The seed for action on the inspiration is often contained in our blindspots that we are so crafty at keeping unconscious. So when a particular quote or story inspires you, stop to consider, or reflect in a journal on these questions, because the necessary seed you’re after might just reveal itself: What would this quote, if ‘real’ized, represent for me and others in my life? What is it that is keeping me from doing something about it, and is that a good excuse considering what is on the line? What would I have to do, consistently, in order to make progress? And how do I know it will be, or is, worth the investment?

…And yes, the inspiration is a video of a bike trick you want to learn, the same questions apply

Ryan Leech Diversifies through Coaching Excellence

ryan — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:26:25 +0000

A recent press release from Norco Bikes about my shift in career focus…

September 12th, 2011

For immediate release:

Mountain bike trials legend Ryan Leech will be moving into the 2012 season offering a unique blend of excellence through his Ride & Reach Retreats, Trials of Life presentations, and one-on-one Integral Coaching®*.

While this fresh focus will have Leech doing fewer trials shows, Ryan will continue his role as a professional athlete representing Norco Bicycles for the 15th year.

Also continuing their sponsorship, long-term supporters Shimano products will adorn these bikes and Ryders Eyewear is along to help keep his vision clear.

Ryan amazes us with his riding abilities, his community interaction and positive vibe. Ryan has been a true ambassador not only to Norco but to the sport of cycling, and his new plans will continue to have him do just that. - Pete Stace-Smith, Norco PR Marketing Manager

The demand for Leech’s inspirational Trials-of-Life school presentation remains strong. Through this, Leech strives for integrity by encouraging students to make heartfelt decisions. The dynamism of the multimedia delivery allows his message to resonate and stick with students and teachers alike.

Leech credits much of his longevity as an athletic performer to his embrace of yoga.

By combining his prowess as a mountain bike instructor and guide with his cycling specific yoga approach, Leech created the Ride & Reach Program. He has scheduled week long retreats at Boreale Mountain Biking in Whitehorse YT and has weekend sessions planned in other locations yet to be announced.

Ryan is as cool as it gets. His energy, focus and mastery to his craft is contagious. Where Ryan goes, people follow and that includes Lululemon.Eric Peterson, Lululemon Global Brand Director

As a public personality and role model, Leech knows that challenges arise and inspiration may be sacrificed due to ever increasing external demands or internal conflicts. Seeing others silently struggle with this life-balance, Leech underwent two years of intense training and apprenticeship to earn his certification as a Professional Integral Coach™. With this certification, Ryan is available as a life coach to stimulate healthy and inspired lifestyles. More information is available on Leech’s new website ryanleech.com

Whitehorse Ride and Reach with Ryan Leech

ryan — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 22:43:44 +0000

How is your Summer Holiday shaping up? If you’re still undecided, perhaps some Riding and Reaching will entice you! Indeed, the Ride and Reach retreat with Boreale Mountain Biking and yours truly is back for its second year, and this blog post is designed to quench curiosities, and well, wet appetites for this unique occasion.

We jumped in the glacier fed lake in the background after this ride!

General Info

Riding mountain bikes, playing yoga, eating fresh, and sleeping well is in my opinion, a magic recipe. Mixing in the these offerings in an intimate setting in the woods, on a bluff overlooking the Yukon River and the quant city of Whitehorse is memory creation at its finest. With a limited number of guest spots available, 6, there will be plenty of time over the 5 day retreat to customize and maximize your vacation wishes.

Mountain Biking

Singletrack! We won’t waste your energy on long boring access or gravel roads. It’s straight to the goods. Whether you feel like climbing or shuttling, smooth or technical, epic or ecstatic, we’ll take you there. I’ll be on all the rides, along with one of Boreale Mountain Bikings fully certified guides. While we’re on the trail, we’ll have time to stop and talk technique, or just flow until we’re high on endorphins. Skill progression sessions will build and progress all week as needed or requested.

An after dinner cruise just minutes from Yurtville
Yoga

I was certified as a yoga instructor for the sole reason of sharing this cyclist saving activity with my cycling family. I’ll be leading at least one class per day, and mix it in with detailed asana technique. With a focus on safety and alignment, we will aim to keep the practice fun, flowy, playful, and light. Yes, I’ll want to challenge you with some balance postures, and get you sweating from time to time, because it’s not just those tight muscles that need to be lengthened, it’s the supporting muscles that need to be strengthened, and that new found range of motion from yoga needs to be used with control and awareness.

Yurtoga Adjustments
The Extras

Boreale Mountain Biking specializing in making you feel at home. Sleep in your luxuriously equipped yurt, stay connected with wireless internet service, breath in clean pure Yukon air. The food provided is prepared fresh daily by our caterer, and sourced as locally and organically as possible. If you want to sit back with a beer at the end of the day, Yukon Brewing will provide you two drinks on the house, available on request, or enjoy a glass of wine with fine company, reminiscing on the days adventures, and watching the never ending sunset. If you get inspired to go ride in the midnight sun, which is an urge that we will certainly indulge you in. And by the way, getting to Whitehorse is much easier than you might think, get in touch with Boreale Mountain Biking for the details!

To Conclude

On a personal note, this retreat is something I’m passionate about, it is part of the evolution of my career from being simply a stuntman in mountain bike films and trials demos, to a friend who loves to share and pass along all the techniques and mental approaches garnered through 13 years as a pro. It is a delight to mix these cycling skills in with my love of yoga, again sharing the postures that I have found to be useful as a cyclists through my 8 year asana practice, and speak to how the presence and awareness generated through this practice can transcend the mat and be included in your riding enjoyment, and integrated in to the general flow of your daily routine.

One of my favorite pieces of singletrack in the world…

Warmly, Ryan
