2012 was a banner year for Rocky Mountain; between our Argentina team trip, video parts in Anthill's full-length Strength in Numbers, several new bike releases, and strong finishes for RMB athletes at both Crankworx and Rampage, we were lucky enough to encounter some amazing places, people, and riding. This is a look back at some of the amazing places, people, and riding that we encountered this year. Footage courtesy of: Anthill Films, Matt Dennison, Mindspark Cinema, Alterna, Lone Wolf, Ambrose Weingart, Connor Macleod, Ross Measures, and others. Music: Alastair Cameron - Spooky, Yukon Blonde - Breathing Tigers, and Jason Shaw - Jenny's Theme.

We wish everyone the best in 2013, and can't wait to do it all over again!

 To me I feel Rocky Mountain embodies what mountain biking is; Shred hard, hang with friends, explore new places and have a blast while doing it. They even have the race aspect down as well.

 Awesome!, love this video!
that' pretty much it right?
anyone who's ever put a bit a blood sweat and tear into riding a mountain bike understand this video and probably get's chills because it brings back riding memories.

from Lycra to full faced heltmets. Riding is awesome in every way and this video captures it dead on.

cheers,

 This video just mad me want to ride so bad. I'm changing out my tires so I can ride even if it snows... Something tells me hookworms will be a bad snow tire.

 Rocky has some great riders on their bikes - They should have hired Sam Hill as their sole DH rider.
