Going into 2014, all I knew for sure was one thing; I wanted to get back to traveling with my bike and my camera. I never planned to do a write-up about my year, but due to a pleasant surprise earlier this week, I found one of my photos in the Photo of the Year contest, so why not share a few of my favourite images from 2014? Thanks for looking.
The Yukon. I never imaged I would ride bikes in the Yukon. But I did, and it was easily the best decision I've ever made. Dennis Enarson with a massive tuck-no-hander 360 at Red Bull Dreamline.Late evening above Whitehorse with Sam and Massey."Your favorite riders' favorite rider to watch" - KC Badger. Matty Aquizap has to be the most stylish rider to watch, ever. Here he is testing out the first set in the "Dirty South" section while building the Dreamline course. I would love to get out and shoot more with the Credence Bike crew. Clint Reynolds, Matty Aquizap and Nutter not only build the best trails, they shred as hard as anyone.
Seb Kemp above Bennet Lake. Carcross, Yukon.The Yukon really does have some amazing trails.Dan Barham riding slabs in Carcross, Yukon.Tony and Fab Tal above the Yukon River. Whitehorse, Yukon.Sam Reimer outside of Carcross, Yukon.Jaie Toohey with a backflip tailwhip in the middle of the Dirty South set. Red Bull Dreamline The Shark Fin. A signature feature of the Dreamline course, it is one of the biggest features I've ever seen. Dennis Enarson was one of the few to trick over it with this huge tail-whip.Squamish. What more can you say about this place, it really has everything. The people, riding, climbing, and kayaking are all out of this world. Here Dennis Beare gets his slab on after following a map drawn in the gravel.

By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
