Coming off a breakout performance in 2006, 26-year-old Vancouver rider Ben Boyko has been re-signed to a money deal with Sombrio Clothing for the 2007 season. “Boyko had standout segments in Kranked 6 and CKD in 2006,” says Sombrio owner, Dave Watson. “He consistently laid down huge, clean, technical runs at Saalbach, Crankworx and Monster Park. Basically, the kid is on fire.” Boyko, who has roots in BMX, is often cited as one of today’s hardest working riders, always digging, building, riding, and shooting. “I’m planning on hitting all the big comps this season,” explains Boyko. “I can’t wait to work on a new segment again, travel the world and ride with good friends.”
