Vero Sandler - Vision Ep. 4: Following her ground-breaking feature film VISION in 2019, Veronique Sandler brings a fresh look at the sport in a brand-new series that takes a deep dive into MTB and her influences. Episode 4 looks at Vero bringing her dream to life and building her backyard set up. “VISION Chapters is a chance for me to bring a collective of the most influential riders I know into one series and showcase how far the sport and the women’s freeride movement has come in the last four years, it’s crazy to believe the level of progression that has happened in such a short time. I wanted to make this series available to everyone, for free and to try and hype as many people as possible to get out and ride.” – Veronique Sandler
Sophie Perrault - Mais J'ai Peur (But I'm Scared): “But I’m scared.” Whether we want to admit it or not, these words often pop into our heads when riding bikes. Overcoming fear is one of the things that make this sport so addictive. The challenge of pushing yourself past your comfort zone and the rewarding sense of accomplishment from it is a big part of why we ride. Sophie’s journey as a mountain biker is similar to most riders out there. She lives in a small town with a community of riders and some bike trails. She picked up mountain biking one summer and has been hooked ever since. She’s not a sponsored rider or an influencer. She works full-time as a nurse and rides bikes or snowboards on her days off. For Sophie, the desire to progress is entirely personal. She finds satisfaction in the process of setting goals and reaching new milestones. “Mais j’ai peur” was repeated more than once while shooting this video, her French Canadian background coming through. That fear is a healthy response to staring down the unknown. It’s what makes committing to a new trick, steeper line, or bigger jump so exhilarating. Sophie channels fear into motivation to keep learning and growing as a rider. We hope she inspires you all to push your limits, big or small, and have a damn good time doing it. Get out there and try something new, scare yourself. It’s fun.

Underexposed Gold Beach: "As magnetic as the Pacific Northwest is, the mountains found just to the east of Gold Beach carry their own gravitational pull. The Siskiyou Mountains are a sub-range of the Klamath Mountains that run for about 100 miles from the Rogue River in the northernmost stretch to the northern California town of Crescent City along the southern terminus. The mountains are relatively young, having formed about 65 million years ago. They’re not especially tall mountains, but they are steep, rugged and receive ample amounts of rain, particularly along the western portion of the range. The pavement ends just a few miles east of town, and as you drive into the mountains along the Rogue River toward the trails, it becomes immediately evident that you are headed somewhere not a whole lot of eyes have seen firsthand." - Brice Shirbach

And it’s the bucket list ride that Lachlan Morton spent years dreaming about. Starting in Banff, Alberta, Canada and ending 2,671 miles later in Antelope Wells, New Mexico, USA, the divide route is as beautiful as it is rugged, as ambitious as it is empty.
