Steve Vanderhoek Rides The North Shore - Risk Is Reward: Risk versus reward — the idea that an endeavour with greater uncertainty garners greater payoff — is a principle used in fields as diverse as economics, athletics and even relationships. For Vancouver resident Steve Vanderhoek, the saying reflects nearly every aspect of his life. As a firefighter and professional mountain bike freerider, saving a life at work before risking his own on a boundary-pushing stunt often occurs within the same day. Vanderhoek thrives under pressure, and in doing so is redefining what it means to truly live on the edge.

Please join Alex and his souped-up Druid for a day of high-speed antics in the summer of 2021, a few weeks after winning the British enduro U21 title and shortly before winning Round Six of the Enduro World Series.

"Revolutions on Granite" Ukraine Skate Documentary: Please turn on closed captions. This film is about the skateboarders of Kyiv, from the first skater until today, passionately finding a way to make it happen in an unlikely place. Regrettably, their story gained a new significance when Russia launched an unjust war on Ukraine, the tragic results of which are still unfolding every day. I hope this film can give the world a relatable view into a conflict that we mainly experience through headlines and news stories.
Tony Hawk - Until the Wheels Fall Off - Official Trailer: Never back down from the challenge.
Real Skifi Tenet: Take off comes before landing. Or does it? What if the outrun is actually the inrun? Real Skifi Tenet is a skiing fiction piece inspired by Christopher Nolan's Tenet. All the illusions in this video were achieved by acting and simply reversing and/or altering the speed of the footage. No VFX needed. The question is: which clips are reversed, and which are not? Which ones go back and forth, and which don't? After all, time is in the eye of the beholder. The idea for this video had been in our minds for a while already, and finally we got together to brainstorm and make it happen. In this project, we had to use our creativity differently from what we’re used to. This time, the challenge was to get the acting and timing right instead of landing a hard trick. We hope you enjoy!

Usha - The First: One set of hands touched every piece Arc'teryx produced in the company's start-up days. Her name is Usha. She was there at the beginning. The most beloved person at Arc'teryx turns out not to be a hard-core climber or an elite-level athlete, but a woman who knows how to operate a bar-tack machine and a switchboard and who remembers everyone's names. Her constant presence has witnessed 30 years of changes throughout the entire history of Arc'teryx. There's a reason she will always be number one.

1. Lime Ridge? More like Lame Ridge. Tone it down Stavro that was painful to watch. Ruined an otherwise decent spot
2. The only “Tenet” I know of in action sports edits is that nobody likes watching clips in reverse, let alone 3 min of it
3. If you’re going to call an edit “Flat Out” you shouldn’t be dragging your rear break through corners
4. Vaea is rad and I actually like the peach, but a new colourway release edit should at least have matching kit duh
and 5. Rez Golf is amazing, but is it really golf without middle-aged white men getting drunk on Miller Lite?
There were some highlights tho - I want a pair of those wood skis bad and Sisterhood made me want to get out again before the melt. Chad Kerley is terrifyingly swole. Spanky is sooo sexy even tho the horse thing seems completely random. Steve and August’s riding speaks for itself. I haven’t watched any of the videos longer than 9 minutes…
