Vinny Armstrong - Shimmer: Vinny Armstrong is a trailblazer in women’s freeride. With a career dedicated to pushing boundaries, she's mastered the art of massive whips while always prioritizing style and fun. Fresh off her Crankworx Rotorua Whip-Off win, Vinny is now undefeated in her last five starts. "Shimmer" embodies Vinny’s approach to riding - whether she's cracking massive whips between the tape or driving a van across BC with friends to riding spots, she lives for the rad times that biking brings along the way. Last summer brought Vinny to BC, where she caught up with filmmaker Liam Morgan in Kamloops and Coast Gravity Bike Park, showcasing the epitome of Canadian summer: road trips, endless biking, and quality time with mates. Rider: Vinny Armstrong. Video: Liam Morgan.

Colby Pringle - When It All Comes Together: When you drop into your favourite trail, do you think about the intricate design details of your carbon wheels and how they affect your ride? Maybe. Or maybe you simply think about how much fun you’re having on your bike and what’s coming at you next. What if you could flip a switch between these two states of mind while you’re in full-gas descent mode? Watch Race Face athlete Colby Pringle demonstrate how both these sides come together on the trail.

Filmed over the course of eight months between San Diego and Los Angeles, 'Raven' features wild spots along with the moves/stunts to back it all up. Also, congrats to the Enarson's on the recent birth of their newborn daughter, Raven (who this video is named after). Video: Zach Krejmas.

The Traditionalist - Chapter Three: In this new 3-part series from acclaimed filmmaker Andrea Cossu, we follow Jacopo as he travels from Europe, to America and the UK to gain a deeper understanding of trad-climbing as an art-form, its diverse community, culture, ethics, and history - exploring what ‘hard-trad’ actually means and whether, when push comes to shove, the grades actually matter. Last but not least, we’re back in mainland Europe, where it all began for Jacopo. He takes us to some of his favourite spots and we get to follow along as Jacopo repeats some of the area’s hardest routes, some new first ascents, and some hard retro-trad. Summing up his experiences across all three chapters, Jacopo gives his perspective on the bright future for European Trad Climbing and what it means to him.

Far Out East - The Teachings of Taro: When planning a trip to Hokkaido, we felt it essential to acknowledge and pay our respects to one of the great legends of the island, Taro Tamai. Taro’s highly regarded as a master craftsman, yet that’s only a small part of his story. As the founder of Gentemstick (an industry leading craft snowboard company), his unique approach to life is an inspiration to many throughout the world. He’s a modern day poet - a rambling soul whose life transitions between sea level and 1000+m elevation with ease. Taro’s life philosophy, of being at one with, and taking inspiration from, nature has solidified his place as a significant elder in the realms of surf and snow. His take on the creative process has long inspired us - and it was a rare honour that we were able to sit down and get to know him on our journey Far Out East. This project is the culmination of that experience - Far Out East: The teachings of Taro. A film by Finlay Woods.
