There should be a stamp on the back of this pic cause it looks like a freakin' post-card!

This shot reminds me of the awesome little film "Lone Wolf" he made with Specialized on an two day trip he made through the Chilcotins. Tremendously inspiring. vimeo.com/27295632

that was such a great video! wish we all could take a trip like that

teleturn2 (Jan 28, 2013 at 11:43)

dbodoggle, I really wish so, but it becomes much harder when you add in the factor that I'm a college student living in Wisconsin!

p-vdh (Jan 28, 2013 at 14:46)

Most of the time the only one that keeps you from doing things like that is yourself. You don't need to be pro or sponsored or anything, just plan the trip and go. Even I did. www.pinkbike.com/video/265276

teleturn2 (Jan 28, 2013 at 15:06)

I am in the process of planning a bike trip, I just have to wait after student loans are sorted out!

BenLovesIdaho (Jan 28, 2013 at 20:32)

That video was awesome buddy!

dbodoggle (Jan 28, 2013 at 20:48)

@teleturn2 me too. One day we'll all be rich

More XC PODs please. There's nothing wrong with just riding a bike without flying on it sideways.

This photo would look great without the rider, but chuck in a sick XC bike and rider and it just gets better! Good to see a bit of XC Big Grin

I think this is the first time that I see Matt Hunter not on his DH bike.

dbodoggle (Jan 28, 2013 at 9:35)

@Lehel-NS Matt Hunter rides everything, thats why the S-Works Enduro is so great. It'll eat up any trail- dh or xc. I just reviewed it on my blog if you want to check it out.

Lehel-NS (Jan 28, 2013 at 11:29)

Wow, thanks for the neg props guys.... I did not meant to say anything bad about Matt, and him riding the Enduro (which is a bad ass bike).

Nice blog dbodoggle. Smile

dbodoggle (Jan 28, 2013 at 20:45)

Thanks everyone! If you're interested in riding this exact trail, check out Boréale Mountain Biking, they can hook you up: borealebiking.ca

leelau (Jan 28, 2013 at 13:17)

Boreale is the way to go for riding in the Yukon

Trek POD heading.
"great athletes ride Trek" quote on the side.
picture shows a Specialized...

dbodoggle (Jan 28, 2013 at 9:41)

if I had a dollar for every comment about the trek advertisement in the last few weeks...

larryssman7 (Jan 28, 2013 at 10:25)

.....I could buy a Session. Wink

garrss (Jan 28, 2013 at 19:11)

...no you couldn't, you'll need like a chillion more posts and I'm not typing them for sure

larryssman7 (Jan 28, 2013 at 20:52)

Is "chillion" even a number?? And, it's only $8,929, or even less for a non-carbon Session. So basically all you have to write are like 8,917. Get to work. Wink

It looks like a set for a film Big Grin

Glenn-Downing (Jan 28, 2013 at 4:17)

I'm not sure which is nicer, the scenery or the bike. (Wait let me flip this coin.) The bike is a Specialized, so the bike wins.
