Covering the Dunbar Summer Series this year, I've had the pleasure of following Magnus Manson and the rest of the Dunbar Cycles team over the course of the majority of the 2014 BC Cups. Watching Magnus racing throughout of the summer, it's obvious that he has plenty of raw talent, and his results prove it even further, with him taking both the NW Cup and BC Cup Junior Expert overall titles. Although he's a dedicated racer, he spends the majority of the offseason riding and training with the Coastal Crew in his home town of Sechelt. I've been looking to film with Magnus for a while now, and it was only as the season began to die down that we had an opportunity to work together, shooting at the Coast Gravity Park and Magnus's hand built loam track. Fall riding on the Sunshine Coast is incredible, and with one of Canada's top DH prospects in front of the lens, it was a great time shooting.

Magnus would like to thank his parents and his sponsors including Dunbar Cycles for their support this season.

 dang who knew the Sony Action Camera Personal Recording Device had such good quality! Well done, Sony!

There's just something incredible about watching DH guys ripping on fast/flowy trails... so many scrubs and tranny finds.

 I know it's late, I've watched this a lot though. We need Magnus, Remy, Bas and Dean Tennant all in a full length film doing bike park tours. Maybe a guest appearance from Karver

 about a year ago I contributed 100 euro's to his fundraising page to help him get to where he wants to be, the top of his sport. I could get all jealous because he is my age and wants to do the same as me, but I donated because In him I almost see a replica of stevie smith who I really look up to. Magnus I wish you the absolute best.

 His riding i like a mix of Stevie Smith and Remy Metailler: He´s super fast and flowy like Stevie, and a bit like Remy in the air: sideways!!
Oh, and he has an ability to pop of the smallest lips, and make tem look like crapabble.
Seems like a super rad dude, lots of potential!!
- Great music choice, and the filming/editing was perfect!
