I love it when riders have smooth style. This guy throws his bike around almost as fast as a bmx in this street edit. Some people make stuff look tight, this guy is one of them.

Check out my latest edit. We filmed a couple of sessions this summer. Many thanks to all filmers, Tim Scholz for the Twixtor editing and to my sponsors - NS-Bikes/Trailtoys, POC & ALMOND

Hydrofoil bike

We aren't strangers to flying bicycles. Remember that indoor helicopter? or that other one? or that otherone that only flies into a treehouse? Well, I've been looking for a bike that flies on water so this is great. Check out this cool hydrofoil bike ripping around in this video from the deep dark interweb. I love weird bikes.

Instinct in the Monashees

Nice Fall winter edit featuring the godfather Wade Simmons and Lambert rep/xc racer Kevin Calhoun

The plan was to head to the Monashee Mountains near Revelstoke, British Columbia with Wade Simmons and Kevin Calhoun to shoot an autumn alpine video for our new Instinct MSL. We wanted to showcase the bike’s versatility under two very different riders—Kevin is an XC racer on our Factory Team, while Wade’s contributions to freeride mountain biking need no introduction—.
Of course sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t play nice, and an early cold snap provided on-and-off snowfall throughout our adventure.
Despite the challenging weather, we knew we had an opportunity to capture a unique aspect of the changing seasons. From Kevin’s dawn patrol ascent to Wade charging snowy trail features, the rapidly changing conditions ended up being the perfect way to showcase the Instinct’s versatility.
We’d like to thank the crew at the Sol Mountain Lodge for all their help with this project. Their lodge was a great base-camp and their trails were a blast even in the snow. We’ll be back again in warmer weather.
Thanks for watching, Love the Ride!

Shovel Buster

SORCE president Jordan helps stockpile dirt for the final massive landing

More work has taken place on the revamped trail in Invergarry bike park in North Surrey. Lots of landings have been constructed and a few of the dirt lips are nicely shaped and packed. The next step for Alpine Bike Parks will be building concrete footings for the many Flow form features we are going to see in the park.

Enjoy the photos!...

Invergarry

Alpine Bike Parks - Shovel Buster trail new landing

Alpine Bike Parks started construction on shovel buster yesterday. The first day of the build was met with tough conditions. Heavy rain made it difficult for the machines to work at optimum efficiency, but the crew of ABP powered through and accomplished quite a lot. The plan is for the Shovel Buster to be gussied up the whole way down. ABP will be installing SIX premanufactured lips and a sick satellite feature on the trail. the amplitude of all the jumps is being increased at the same time. Sadly this means there will be no beginner trails, but we can always try for that in the next phase. SORCE/ABP can only do so much in a year within a given budget from the City of Surrey. Keep in mind that the COS is supporting the sport of mountain biking in a big way. Shovel Buster is unique in this part of the world. Can you think of another city built park with something like it? As Invergarry park builds a larger user group and the local bike club SORCE achieves higher membership riders in Surrey will be able to request more and more work to be done by Alpine Bike Parks every year.

SSBP tree planting

Peter, Vince and Wilma toughing out the rain

SORCE bike club was in the South Surrey Bike Park planting native trees and shrubs. The weather was about as rainy as it gets here on the coast of BC. But that didn't stop SORCE from getting out there with shovels. The focus was on repairing the many areas of the forest that have sustained damage through trail braiding. We planted a lot of salal, ferns, wild rose, vine maple, salmon berries and simon berries in the areas most affected by the trail braids.
