A Freeride tribute - a roadtrip to the greats of BC

This motion poetry is a tribute to the iconic Freeride spots and heroes of Canada, BC. Inspired by Big Mountain Ski/Snowboard, Freeride Mountain Biking started in Kamloops at the gravel pit. Few decades later, generation after generation the thrill is the same... The jumps are still there, the lines drawn in the hills talk for themselves. From the deepest forest of Nanaimo to the driest lines of Kamloops, Dillon Butcher, and Alex Volkov played a unique tribute to the legends that inspired them back in the days. Immerse yourself in a road trip across some of the most iconic spots where pioneers have created the sport, we all love now. The new wave of Freeride is taking over, bringing more creativity, more ease and commitment to the original features. Alex and Dillon couldn’t give a better testimony than riding these lines with such an insane style. Future is bright, mountain biking in its purest form filmed and edited by Pierre Henni.
