Victoria Staff Bio: Andrew Sherry

by Brian @ OBB on Feb 27, 2011 • 3:45 pm 2 Comments

Andrew Sherry (AKA Shrew) should be no stranger to mountain bikers on the South Island. He’s our newest staff member, and you’ll see him at both the OBB Victoria and OBB Westshore shops. His background is in the dirtjumping, downhill, and freeriding scenes, and he tunes up some super hot custom builds.

Some questions:

First bike movie? Disorder 2.

Favourite bike movie section? Jarrett & Alan’s part in What’s Next. (Shrew’s section isn’t terrible either. -Ed.)

Best tight jeans? Levis 511s.

Worst tight jeans? Jarrett Moore’s sister’s.

Favorite place to ride? Tzouhalem for pedalling, Silverstar for shock romping.

Years riding? 9.
