Pedal to the Mettle – Brett Rheeder & Lucy Van Eesteren | SHIMANO

Brett Rheeder and Lucy Van Eesteren drop in at the top of Boulder Mountain for a rip through the alpine wonderland. On the other side of the river, they trade in dual-crown bikes and full-face helmets for downhill duty on Martha Creek - some of the best tracks in the world. Float with them through the chicanes and boost off natural features deep in the BC backcountry with signature creativity and style.

Hunting Down a Remote Quarterpipe in a Secluded Desert Town

Two hours outside of LA is a place called Bombay Beach. This area was a popular resort town for beachgoers and celebrities until the ’80s but due to a destroyed ecosystem what’s left these days looks closer to a Mad Max scene than anything else, with streets populated by loners and outcasted creatives. We caught wind that someone was building some DIY skate spots out there, so we decided to let our imagination get the best of us and checked it out.

Trails, not Tribulations ft. Jackson Goldstone

The young Canadian talent had a huge first season racing on the Elite World Cup season in 2023. Unfortunately a crash at Red Bull Hardline earlier this year, and an intensive acl/mcl surgery in March, he has been out for the season. With that said, we're really happy to see Jackson back on a bike, starting to regain traction ahead of the 2025 Downhill World Cup Season.

Black Diamond Presents: Deep in Alaska

Follow Dorian Densmore and Mya Akins on a month-long, exploratory mission in the Chugach mountains. Videos like this really help fuel the stoke for ski season. I can't wait to trade in the full squish for some slidey sticks and a steel hardtail to entertain for the winter season. Whisky may be included, but only for the purposes of keeping warm, of course.
