OFFLINE is what lives outside the internet. It's what we are as we turn off and return to the roots, to human interactions, the genuine innermost thoughts, with those who know us best, who know our weaknesses and our strengths.
In this series, we want to show racing fans the four Specialized Enduro team athletes through the eyes of an individual, the one who knows them best. What makes them who they are, and how does mountain biking fit within that landscape?
For this first episode, we met Cecce, a Corsican enduro mountain bike athlete. His father, Alain, told us the great story of an enriched life, full of energy and desire to live in harmony with nature. Through the breathtaking scenery of his native island, Cecce takes us through the rich contrast that exists in Corsica. The land, sea, and rocks of the Mediterranean island are the perfect playground for both action and contemplation.
Awareness is the clue. Not consuming a scenery for Insta!
It’s easy to be envious of those who get to play every day. Plenty of my friends have trusts to lean on, and that’s all and good for them, but everyone should work to contribute towards society in a positive way. I’d love to hang in the woods with my kid every day teaching him how to hunt, fish, shred, etc., but that’s just not how we live. I still plan yo teach him all that, but at the same time he also needs to have a good work ethic and get educated, even if I was rich I wouldn’t let him cruise by in life playing all the time. I put long hours, blood, and sweat into a career reducing the impacts of critical infrastructure on vital resources. Before I got this engineering gig, I worked hard as a farmhand, dishwasher, line cook, and festival security, while also taking my studies serious. And then when I can shred I go all in because I don’t take the time off for granted. The working class 100% deserves more respect. If it wasn’t for people like us everyone would be cold, hungry, thirsty, and sick. Shred hard, but also work hard! Take pride in the fact you have to grind to get by. Don’t sweat those who don’t, different strokes for them.

Live your life on your own terms, not sone idealized version of what it can be.
We will all get old, and your abilities will wain, don’t be sad for what you c as n’t do if don’t have, be satisfied with what you can do and do have.
WTF??
A long-haired 60s flower child was a “hippie.” “Hippy” is an adjective describing someone with wide hips.
I don't know what a hippi is.
And 17% of the world speaks English. Better than you.
