MR. SMOOTH:
Canyon Jones has been rooted with the Utah bike scene since he took his first pedal. Growing up in Alpine, UT, he was introduced to mountain biking by his dad and later to trail building by his stepdad—both of which played a formative role in his life. Being immersed in the core of the scene at a young age led to a rapid rise in talent, followed by a strong sense of style—something Canyon is well known for, along with his infectious laugh.
As the years went on Canyon's passion to biking grew. Racing, bike parks, freeriding, skate parks were all avenues of the sport Canyon explored and felt comfortable with. This behavior is quite unusual for your "average" rider which leads us to say Canyon is anything but your average rider. This versatility is far from typical for your "average" rider, further proving that Canyon is anything but ordinary. He has a natural talent on two wheels—just ask his friends. We've ridden with him on a handful of occasions, and the number of times we've heard, "How do you make that look so easy?" is high enough that we should have started keeping count.
While talent on a bike is impressive, there's more to life than that, and Canyon agrees. He’s known for being a thoughtful and respectful person—traits we deeply admire. This summer, Canyon embarked on a new project: building the Highland Glen Bike Park in Cedar Hills, UT, which is set to open in a few weeks. During our recent photoshoot, he shared his excitement about giving back to the community and creating a space for the next generation to enjoy.
It’s really that simple—do things the younger you would be proud of.
