Garett Buehler’s Neighborhood

I set out on assignment to Nelson BC to shoot a bike check for Mongoose Bikes, with their young rider Garett Buehler. After arriving in Nelson, it became apparent that this was going to be all about a good time. Garett’s home is situated across Kootenay Lake. It is especially unique because his home has no trace of civilization, yet it’s a quick five-minute boat ride into down town Nelson.

Garett, Kurt Sorge, and a posse of friends have managed to build a full on jump zone. It consists of multiple lines to utilize all bikes and showcase their style.

Being in the midst of summer, the jumps were not running tip-top, fresh dirt and dry conditions don’t go good together. So we decided to step back and enjoy the good times Garett and his buddies live day to day.

Garett did not want to just make a typical bike check, and this is what we came up with.

 Awesome clip on Nelson life! Finishing Bedframe w/skier's right definitely the way to go. If you think it's "easier to get sponsored out West" check out the bike park at Rosemont(props to Rick!). There are kids there who could put on a clinic! EVERYONE and their dog rides these trails like it's nothing, that's how much talent is out here in the Kootenay's.

 NMT, you have seen Brighter right? Or have you at least seen the cover of the last Decline that Garret was on? Still so easy?
