A taste of Colombia | SHIMANO

From Shimano: “Colombia has always been on Scotty Laughland’s list. Then, one morning, while pulling a shot of espresso, he found himself curious as to where the very coffee he was about to drink came from, the process of creating it and the mountain bike scene there. And as with all of life’s mysteries, there’s only one way to discover more. We hope you enjoy ‘Taste of Colombia’, a story about bikes and coffee.”

 

Myth | Big Bike Dream Tricks In BC | Dillon Butcher

From Forbidden Bike Company: “We are proud to present our freeride MTB short film, “Myth”, the product of the partnership between Forbidden athlete Dillon Butcher and filmmaker Liam Morgan. The short film showcases the Vancouver Island local’s creative and unique style aboard his Forbidden Dreadnought. ‘Myth’ takes you through the lush spring and moody fall forests of Vancouver Island to the dusty summer deserts of Kamloops, B.C. in a dynamic string of riding sequences. Dillon’s one-of-a-kind style and creative combos blended with Liam’s cinematography and editing make for a passionate and energetic piece that we hope gets you stoked to get out there and ride your bike.

“My goals coming into this project were to basically take what I can do on a hardtail and apply that to my big bike. Liam and I set out to shoot a variety of different locations across Vancouver Island and B.C. I wanted to highlight some tricks that had been in the back of my mind for a while but never got around to doing.” -Dillon Butcher”

Rider: Dillon Butcher
