Anthony Shelly - Whistler Destruction: Anthony Shelly is a 16 year old downhill racer. Growing up in Whistler, he is no stranger to the bike park. He's been showcased in Anthill Films' "Return to Earth," and is currently finishing up a phenomenal race season here in BC. So far, Anthony has had six top-3 races this summer, including three 1st place finishes. We shot this video this past August between his race events.

In his new edit "THREERIDE," Tommy G showcases his incredible skills on three different Canyon bikes, each designed to conquer different terrains and challenges.
Godzilla - Alex Volokhov, Vaea Verbeeck & Hayden Zablotny: Tucked away in the mysterious forest of Vallée Bras-du-Nord, lives an ancient beast only talked about in whispers. Join Rocky Mountain riders Alex Volokhov, Vaea Verbeeck, and Hayden Zablotny as they navigate the legendary trail they call “Godzilla.” Featuring: Alex Volokhov, Vaea Verbeeck, and Hayden Zablotny. Director: Zach Turgeon. Cinematography: Antoine Caron.
Vaea Verbeeck - Pushing Her Limits In Utah: Vaea Verbeeck has solidified herself as one of the top female gravity riders in the world. Running the gamut of disciplines, she has made her mark in World Cup DH, holds current back-to-back Queen of Crankworx titles, pushes the limits of Women's freeride, and is involved in Red Bull Formation. Finding the time for your own personal growth and development with such a busy schedule can be extremely challenging, let alone making the time for a film project highlighting her level of progression. When Vaea said she wanted to do a project together with Calvin, we saw the stars align and jumped at the opportunity! Rider: Vaea Verbeeck. Video: Calvin Huth.
Peter Jamison - Sessions Ep.3: To conclude the ‘Sessions’ series for the season, the team and I headed off to Highland Mountain Bike Park, where I grew up riding. I first rode at Highland in 2011, which was my first ever downhill MTB experience, and I rode there on a regular basis until 2019, when I moved away. In that time, I was super fortunate to be able to develop my skills on the bike and meet so many amazing friends. For this trip to the park, many of those friends who I met growing up at the park came together to rebuild the ‘Dirt Pipe.’ Originally, the ‘Dirt Pipe’ was built for the New World Disorder films, and my most memorable moment from the original build was Adam Hauck’s double whip in NWD 10. Those films are what inspired me to want to be a professional athlete, and to now be in the position to help with this build was super special. To begin the build process, over the winter, the Highland team and I had a few preliminary design meetings to go through what we thought the pipe needed and then many months later, we got to construction. At the end of the day, I really believe that this trail is going to have a very positive impact on the next generation of riders from the East Coast, and I am excited to see what the future holds!
The All New Aluminum Process X: Kona Super Grassroots rider Noah Hofmann is no stranger to getting rowdy. The EDR Jr and World Cup racer calls bike park Leogang home – where no berm-to-berm gaps or sniper lines are safe from his tires. We figured his creative and burly style, combined with Leogang's high-speed trails, were the perfect way to illustrate just what the all-new aluminum Process X is capable of. There is the small possibility that, in our brief to Noah, he got surly and burly a little mixed up – no one should keep a shuttle mom waiting!

Wet Lycra Nightmare: When Jordan Cannon fell near the end of a 5.13 pitch on Wet Lycra Nightmare (5.13d), the steepest big wall in the Yosemite Valley, he didn’t give up.

Next, it was Jordan’s turn to do it in his own style, free-climbing the iconic route over two days and becoming the first person to do so in the process. Featuring: Jordan Cannon, Sam Stroh, and Alex Honnold. Director: Samuel Crossley.
