Born and raised in the mountain biking haven of Nelson, B.C., Alex Volokhov developed a love for the outdoors early on. Surrounded by big mountain freeriders, he began riding and building trails with them in the backcountry. Alex soon competed alongside the world's best riders and was part of the dig crew that won two Rampage titles before competing himself in 2022 and 2023. His routine of building and curating lines in the woods and around the world has shaped his unique style of riding gnarly lines.
