If there’s one person who’s shaped the world of freeride mountain biking, it’s Cameron Zink. A pioneer, a daredevil, and a visionary all in one, Zink has redefined what’s possible on two wheels. From jaw-dropping backflips off cliffs to record-breaking tricks that seem to defy gravity, he’s spent his career pushing the limits of the sport and inspiring a generation of riders to do the same. But his influence doesn’t stop with his own riding—it extends to the community he’s built around it.

The Zink Invitational stands as a testament to that legacy. What started as an idea to give back to the sport has become a proving ground for the next wave of freeriders—a place where up-and-coming athletes can ride in front of big names, major sponsors, and a passionate audience that lives and breathes freeride culture. It’s more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of progression, grit, and the fearless creativity that defines mountain biking at its core.
