A Canadian Odyssey - Ep 3. Whistler Bike Park: Crankworx called, and the SCOR Collective answered. While the lift lines may be long, there are moments to be found on these trails that can be compared to nowhere else on earth. The Dirt Merchant bargains for Thomas’s soul, Kasi is convinced to try D1 and immediately crowns it his new favourite trail, and Ludo goes directly to Garbanzo to avoid anyone with rental bikes. Meanwhile, Nick Wieghall is invited into the van by way of free candy; given his gregarious personality and, as Ludo calls it, his “testosterone moustache,” he figures what could go wrong. Hinkson links on Crabapple with Kasi and Thomas while Ludo and Nick sit back, then the crew gets a good old-fashioned A-Line party lap in before enjoying some of Whistler’s finest nightlife.
Sam Soriano - Back Of My Hand: Knowing somewhere like the back of your hand means having an intimate familiarity with that place; the smell of cool spring weather at the start of the season, the rhythm of bridgework under your tires, the sound of touching down on the sweet spot of the dirt landing. In their latest video for Marzocchi Back of My Hand, athlete Sam Soriano and filmmaker Tory Powers explore the trails and textures of three very different—and very cherished—riding zones in Colorado where she evolved during her rise as a professional mountain biker. “The locations are my three favorite riding spots in Colorado; Valmont bike park in Boulder, Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park, and Enchanted Forest in Golden,” says Soriano. “There’s a certain nostalgia when I ride these trails. I've been riding places since I started mountain biking and it's almost like I'm paying homage to the rider I was. It's really rewarding to literally feel and recognize how far I’ve come when I return to these spots. Video: Tory Powers.

Greg Minnaar - Off The Clock: After winning the 2021 World Championships and becoming downhill mountain biking’s most decorated rider, Greg Minnaar, a.k.a. “The Goat,” got off to a bit of a slow start at the first round of the 2022 DH World Cup. So, after finishing up the first round of the DH World Cup, Greg heads back to the Alps at the Santa Cruz Syndicate headquarters to fine tune the bike, body, and mind for the remainder of the UCI Downhill World Cup. Finding the flow on the DH race bike is key for top-level athletes, so Greg alongside his mechanic Lyle Hyslop, work closely as a team to identify and tackle obstacles that unlock possibilities. Together, they fine-tune Greg's bike to achieve a comfortable and confidence inspiring base line setup for the remainder of the season. Greg recently went down at the last World Cup of the season in Val di sole. We wish him all the best with his recovery and know that he’ll be back training again soon in preparation for the next season.

Clément Carpentier 'Quiet': “We had originally started this project (filmed in my hometown, Le Havre in Normandy) just before Covid 19 started but were soon restricted because of curfews and had to postpone the video for a whole year. By then we were back to facing the freezing winter nights. Filming in the streets at night is kind of refreshing though. There are less people around and it’s way more peaceful. I really enjoyed that side of it. All of that is what makes this video so special to me.

Love the Tarantino video. Huge admiration for establishing the closed loop, or ouvre, approach to his art form. That said, it would've been cool for him to maybe aim for 13 instead of 10. Selfishly speaking, of course.
