NEW Freehub Magazine VOL 3.1
Freehub strives to be different than any other Mountain Bike publication out there, and will always showcase community generated content and a mixture of Art and Photography on their covers as shown here on Volume 3.1.
“We are the burning of muscles, the sweat and the drive, the self-propelled effort that pushes full time. We are silent deep forests, and rustling leaves; we are the calm of rushing water headed downstream. We are the sunrise at the top, the old knowing smile, a descent that challenges for the full vertical mile. We are the frost in the leaves, the crisp mountain air, the off-camber corners that keep us aware. We are the concentration, the focus, the poise and the style. We are powering down mountains, engulfed by the new and the wild. We are cold beers at the truck, as day turns to night—all shared with good friends, and rounds of high fives. We are the satisfied feeling of tired, closed eyes, knowing that tomorrow, again—we will ride.
Freehub is about living the dream. A dream which expands the possibilities of a normal day and life through bikes and their people. For you and for us, riding provides an escape from the mundane, from the snares of city dwelling; a departure into the peace of nature. And along the way, our fellow riders—friends—help define who we are by inspiring us, and encouraging us to pursue what we’re passionate about. At Freehub, we strive to encapsulate these moments in a printed volume for safe-keeping—so you can return to the dream whenever you want.
We’ve created four of these volumes since Freehub’s inception. And it wouldn’t have been possible without all the adrenaline-driven riders, rain-soaked trail builders and avid readers like you who have helped bring it to life. So, thank you. And know that regardless of the kind of mountain bike you ride, where and when you ride it or whether you even can at this point in time because of an injury or job, we all share a common trait—we love riding bikes and doing so with friends. So please keep enjoying the dream and—we’ll see you out there.

Revolution Cycles in Rossland, BC wrote one of three trail and ride reviews in Volume 3.1. Others that accompany it in 3.1 are from Boone Bike and Touring in Boone, NC and Sedona Bike & Bean in Sedona, AZ.
Freehub always showcases some amazing features on the stories of inspiring and proactive bikers, builders, photographers, filmers or people that are just out there making it happen. In this issue we showcase the Story of Anthill films to offer riders and readers a glimpse into where they're from and where they're going.
Freehub loves to feature different riders from different disciplines, and issue 3.1 has a DH profile on Amado Stachenfeld, a DJ profile on Carson Storch, and a Enduro profile on Kevin Soller.
Photography is an important and expressive part of sharing and documenting our world, so we curate profiles on emerging and established photographers like this image from a current profile on Tim Zimmerman. Other inspiring photographers in our current issue is Rhys Logan of Bellingham.
Black Rock Mountain Bike Association is one of the features in 'Our World', a section that is dedicated to the endeavors associated with growing and building our sport.
Freehub always takes a look into the industry and people that make it grow by operating and owning something unique. In Vol 3.1 we take a look at Knolly Bikes and their story.
Bikers are always looking to adventure, which is what keeps us exploring new terrain. In this issue we take a ride in Maui to explore what they have to offer mountain bikers and friends seeking adventure in ride-able destinations.
We take pride in offering the very people who read Freehub a chance to get published by submitting their own stories based on personal experiences. In the magazine you can find trail and ride reviews, profiles on riders, photographers and filmers, stories focused on companies and their origins, stories on biking communities, and authentic Freehub features.
