The feature film “Follow Me” from Anthill Films takes a look at the on trail experiences that the riders in the film have with each other. All of the riders in ‘Follow Me’ know one another and in many cases they have known one another for quite some time. “Follow Me” takes the relationships of the riders and formats the film around exploring the idea of sharing the ride. More specifically, stoking the ride.

Here’s a few random thoughts from a recent shoot with Thomas Vanderham and Sam Hill on the the North Shore.

Further to yesterday’s post, there was an outpouring of disdain for the “Pizza Fixation” installment of the new “Pedaling” webular video series. While some might take this to mean that prospects for the follow-up episode (I believe it will be called “…

The vision of the Hinton Bike Park was to build an exceptional mountain bike skills park that is fun, free of charge, and ride able by all ages and abilities. The park was designed and built by Jay Hoots, and by creating such a great park they have been able to promote mountain biking and the skill development required with the sport. Although the park caters to all levels of riders, the park has numerous stunts/features to challenge any rider. Along with a skills area they have dirt jumps, a drop zone, pump track, slope style course, shore style trail and a flow trail. Living in Edmonton, the Hinton Bike Park is a 2.5 hour drive away, I managed to ride the park 3 times this summer and highly recommend anyone in the area to check it out.

I am glad 2009 is wrapped up. After breaking my collarbone at the US Open and discovering my left wrist would require surgery, my racing season was concluded. It has been a long road of recovery that started on May 25th and once my collarbone healed, I went under the knife for my wrist on July 28th. My surgery was pretty critical and due to the fragile nature of the repair I was in a cast for 9 weeks. I was going insane from lack of exercise and the stench of my cast. The only thing that helped me maintain my grip on sanity was going on one handed XC rides with my girlfriend.

Please look inside to see more on Ryan!
