A Year To Remember

2022 took us on a voyage. A heathen’s voyage! We followed In the hills gang from new Mexico to Canada filming the two part series “heathen’s voyage”. It was a true journey through the heart of every freeride zone we could think of. We are truly grateful to get to be part of the underground freeride movement. Thank you so much to all the people and companies that helped make this a possibility. Take a look at the final films below.

Camino Loamorado

there are few urban legends that seem to transcend through time - Sasquatch, The Loch Ness Monster, Ichabod Crane - but there’s one, only known to a chosen few.

old timers speak of a road that leads to this promised land - a place full of chunky loam chutes and endless days of dirt surf.

This road, this legend, is the camino loamorado.

we met up with alex chay In the desert as he started his journey down the camino. He tells us that this landscape has changed over the years. that here used to be a lush forest, with pines as far as you could see.

though, don’t let the lack of trees fool you - alex brings a style to these parts akin to big mountain skiing. carving out lines ridden by few, but talked about by many. some might think this desert zone must be the perfect playground, but for chay, its the loam that keeps him up at night.

and so, to that promised land, he must go.

BME | Winter Park

Last weekend, Winter Park hosted the third stop of the Big Mountain Enduro grand tour. The race consisted of four stages, covering 15.8 miles with 4,954ft of climbing coupled with 4,944ft of descent. Riders, from the groms to the pros, conquered chunky rock gardens and found their flow among the berms.

The competition was high, and major respect is given to everyone who left it all out on the mountain. Especially to those who came away with a podium.

Desert Freeride Session

A few weeks ago I got an invite to shoot out in the desert below the Grand Mesa. I knew the terrain was going to be epic, and that the crew of riders was going to throw down. It was an awesome day for everyone, with the veteran of the group giving pointers to some guys who had never ridden lines like this before. It was pretty inspiring to watch and I’m really excited to shoot more freeriding.

Riders: Shawn Feverston, Jeff Martinez, Ethan Bell, Rich Hamilton, Harrison Haugh, Daniel Rhodes and Troy Cox.
