Biography
Ethan Craik is a British downhill mountain biker from Hampshire who races for SCOTT DH Factory. He started in BMX, finishing second at the BMX World Championships aged nine and joining the British Olympic development squad at 13, before switching to downhill at 15.
Riding for GT Factory Racing, he won the junior World Cup overall in 2020, including a round win at Lousã, Portugal. In 2023 he took his first elite World Cup podium, second at Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada, and won bronze at the European Championships. He joined Scott for 2024, and the team extended his contract for 2026.
In 2026 he was sixth at Leogang and fifth at Lenzerheide, and was fastest in second qualifying at Pal Arinsal and Lake Placid. Injury kept him out of the Les Gets round in August; he returned at Whistler and finished 19th in the World Cup ranking.
