Still Scared | Sophie Perrault

Fear is a universal feeling, especially in mountain biking. Whether it’s the gap you’ve been eyeing for weeks, a new trick, or just riding a trail faster than before, that mix of nerves and excitement is what makes this sport so addictive for most. Sophie reminds us that you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy pushing your limits. Sophie’s not a sponsored rider or an influencer—she’s a full-time nurse who rides on her days off. For her, mountain biking is about personal progress and the joy that comes from pushing her limits. Every nervous laugh, wobble, failed attempt, and small victory adds up to something greater: fun on two wheels.

HOW WE ROLL | SEASON 3 | EP. 2 WHO IS PHOEBE GALE

The question on everyone’s lips – who REALLY is Phoebe Gale? Up in the Scottish Borders, we join the athlete in her home turf, where Gale grew an incredible community, and honed her unmistakable style and talent on a bike. In this episode, we dive into the mental battle of downhill racing, and learn how despite your talent, platform, and set-up, the mental craft of the sport takes time, experience, and patience to master.

And when races don’t go as planned, it’s the growth of turning frustration into progression that Phoebe is conquering. The downhill scene knows Phoebe is a threat. It’s simply a matter of time…she is coming!

Green Room | Aggy Goes "Full Trail" in Fernie

Believe it or not, Graham Agassiz had never been to Fernie to mountain bike. After a few trips to out that way to play with RC trucks, this was the first time he got to see and ride the trails he’d previously only seen online. He teamed up with Dylan Siggers to get a proper taste. Let's just say... the trip and the trails did not disappoint. Fernie has a variety of trails, but what Graham was really looking for was that loamy, flowy goodness. “I had never actually ridden in Fernie before this trip, funny enough I’ve only been twice before this and it was strictly to play with RC trucks! Dyl invited me down to come hang and clip for a week, and I was stoked to finally check everything out in person that before I had really only seen online. Fernie offers a good variety of trails but what I was really looking to get hooked into was all the rompy and loamy single track, and that we did!"
