In this Episode: Sterling Lorence grew up on Vancouver’s North Shore and has witnessed (and contributed to) nearly two decades of progression in mountain biking. Alongside legends like Wade Simmons and Eric VanDrimmelen, Sterling started riding and photographing the trails in his backyard. Shooting photos is a different world today than it was back then, especially considering the technology and riding style, but the Shore still provides infinite inspiration. Combine that with the passion Sterling has for shooting photos of locals like Thomas Vanderham, and the result is not only beautiful, but the process is rewarding.
