Caleb Holonko

Hey! I’m Caleb and I love to spend a lot of time in the woods, skateparks and trails. Anytime on two wheels, or with a shovel, I’m at my happiest. Come on out to The Shore and I’ll show you a great time! We go hard.

RIDING WITH KONA SINCE

Since 2016

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE KONA IN YOUR QUIVER AND WHY?

My Process X, an absolute weapon. Up and downhill it always delivers.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

North Vancouver, Past and Present

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE KONA OF ALL TIME AND WHY? (YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE OWNED IT)

My Process 167 was a treat. That bike jumped and cornered so well! I loved how snappy and compact it was.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SEASON?

I’m really excited to ride some builds I have been working on and explore new riding zones. Cannot wait to send it in 2022!

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TRACK/RACE OF 2021 (DOESN’T HAVE TO BE IN A RACE) AND WHY?

Boogieman and Ladies Only!

WHO HAS MOST INFLUENCED YOU?

Any person that takes the time to pick up a shovel in their spare time. I have a voice in my head that is always saying “Don’t go riding, go dig”

WHAT WAS THE LAST GIFT YOU RECEIVED?

A Sodastream, haha

IF YOU WERE A CEREAL, WHICH WOULD YOU BE & WHY?

If I was a cereal, I’d probably have to be Honey Bunches of Oats, that’s my all-time favorite.

HOW WOULD YOUR LOCAL COFFEE BARISTA DESCRIBE YOU IN THREE WORDS?

Plain. Simple. Dirty.

2021 STARTED TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN, CAN YOU SHARE WITH US ONE HIGHLIGHT AND LOWLIGHT?

My highlight of the year would be renting out the Coast Gravity Park for my friend, Eric Lawrenuk’s Stag. Camping and riding with some of the most talented riders in BC, along with an empty park was something I’ll never forget. Three Days of Mayhem!

My lowlight has to be the difficulty of international travel. I want to go places but can’t afford to miss work if I were to get quarantined. It left me in a weird spot, but hey, that meant I got to spend lots of time riding at home, and oh man it’s good.
