Video: Van Isle Shred Fest in 'Left Beef'

Jul 20, 2023
by Akta mtb  

Words: Akta



Left Beef is a video created by Derek McCuiston based on the idea of traveling to Vancouver Island to film and document the Akta MTB team riding their bikes. It is being described as “corporate yet tasteful”, a “perfect bike film”, and a “monument to Akta’s brand and hubris.” Join us as we explore the revered trails of south Vancouver Island.

About Akta MTB:
We saw an opportunity to not only build a better product with better value for our customers, but to build a better brand.  A brand that exists beyond the bottom line.  Akta MTB is a Technical MTB specific apparel company with a focus on using premium recycled materials. Designed, developed and tested in North Vancouver, BC.  After working for the corporate side of the MTB industry for many years, it was time to get back to focusing on why we got into this work in the first place: passion and creativity.  Through our riders and our obsession over detail we gather endless inspiration for what we can do next.

 Haven't had a chance to watch the video, but if the title is a reference to None Pizza with Left Beef, I'm here for it
