Downhill Brigade - Alaska Video Series
To date, Alaska is one of the most uncharted biking zones in North America. Offering high alpine trails with views of the ocean, volcano's, and the midnight sun, Alaska is the next prime location for mountain biking.
The free ride mountain bike community has yet to discover Alaska. As local guides, trail builders, production crew and riders we have spent the past 10 years searching out areas around Alaska. We are quite literally pioneering Alaskan free ride mountain biking.
The goal with Downhill Brigade is to create awareness worldwide about riding in Alaska, from basic trail riding to pioneering new areas around the state. We are working to raise funds not only to create a video series but for trail building and other non-profits in Alaska to continue growing AK for all and to educate and inspire the younger generations to come.
We will be producing a full video series about the adventures of pioneering new areas to ride in AK, as well as create safety and educational videos about all areas of mountain biking from the rules and regulations, safety videos and trail building tutorials.
Alaska Downhill Brigade (ADB) started in the fall of 2012 with a small, self-funded budget, a few cameras, some local riders and one day of filming at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood Alaska. We submitted our first edit to the 2012 Alaska Adventure Film Festival. Out of 15 films, JGS took home first place. At this point, we decided to take ADB to the next level. Since the first video release we have also won other awards including the Avid Chasing Trail contest on pinkbike.com and bravest award from vitalmtb.com.
Below is a small demo clip from one of the "Brigade", meet the crew edits that we are working on for this series.
