Kane Friesen

Kane "Insane" Friesen, freestyle street extreme (stunt) rider, is at the top of his sport. He has achieved so much within and beyond the sport, his name is almost synonymous with the sport itself. From many firsts including factory sponsorship and clothing and insurance company sponsorship to numerous podiums and wins to his Guinness World Record and appearing in national magazines month after month after month, Kane has and is doing it all.

Originally from Edmonton, Alberta Canada, he didn't start riding motorcycles until he was 18. After he graduated high school, he sold his Ford Mustang for a '98 Kawasaki Zx6R. After doing some wheelies and driving it around the block backwards a few times, he realized that he wanted more than to just have a good time riding and doing tricks in parking lots and on the streets. He quit his day job early in the summer of 2004 and started chasing his dream of riding bikes for a living. Since then, it's been a rapid climb to the top of the sport and in the process, has become one of the sport's biggest ambassadors, breaking down barriers for and helping to legitimize the whole sport/industry. He is the first factory sponsored street stunt rider in North America and one of the only factory sponsored stunt riders in the world. Among many other national competition wins and podiums, he is the 2006 Regional XDL Stunt Riding Champion.

He was also the featured rider on Discovery Channel's hit show "Stunt Junkies," for the Guinness Book World Record stoppie (also called endo or nose wheelie), radared at 137 mph on the front tire, with an approach speed of over 160mph!!. In addition, for more than three years, he has been the most publicized streetbike freestyle rider in the world, consistently appearing on covers and being featured in national magazines, television shows, DVDs, web sites and advertisements for his many sponsors, including: Monster Energy Kawasaki, Joe Rocket, Odyssey Batteries, Pirelli Tires, GPR Stabilizers, and Vortex Racing.

Now a nationally and Internationally recognized athlete, Kane spends most of his year on the road performing at live corporate and public shows & events for his sponsors, inventing new tricks, competing in national contests and shooting advertisements, television programs and anything else required to help push the beautiful sport of freestyle street extreme through his passion and life....riding."
