FEATURES

THE HARBINGER
As winter succinctly announces its arrival mountain bikers in Montana race out to enjoy the fading warmth before it’s gone. They call autumn the “harbinger” of deep coldness coming.

PINES TO PALMS
A breeding ground and longtime water supply for peninsular bighorn sheep with long ties to the Cahuilla ancestral land, this iconic SoCal celebrity town of Palm Springs hosts one of the most famous IMBA Epic rides in the U.S.

THE HAPPINESS OF PURSUIT
Friends make friends do silly things, like learning how to jump bikes, or do no-handed tricks and follow it all up with dance parties. This is a story not only about how to dance, but how to catch big air along the way.

TAKING THE SLOW ROUTE
Baja Sur isn’t about going fast, it’s about taking in choice singletrack at a tourist pace with extraordinary sunset views and cold cervezas in the evening. This summer destination might arguably have better mountain biking than surfing.
