by Mike Hopkins  



For the past 16 years Mike has made a career of making thing's happen by any means possible, while dragging his friends all over the globe chasing cinematic gold to put on the silver screen. They've seen the wild, embraced the strange, and worked their way through doom and gloom to the down right sketch. From Life Cycles, to Rampage, to the DreamRide Series and coming of age narratives like SkidsVille, Siblings, and Window Shopper his career has evolved alongside his creative perspective. The combination of wheels, creativity, and camera's has sent him down many a road… from the early years of performance, to continent spanning adventure narratives, to timeless coming of age tales… "Creative Evolution" is the fifth episode in our "Write Your Own Chapter" Series and takes you on a hell of a ride.

This series of episodes is meant to encourage you to join our journey. Everyone’s story is unique. So is every chapter of the series. We explore, we go on adventures, we seek thrill, we fail but then succeed and set out to inspire others. Whether on the trails, in the water or in the air, every chapter addresses one of these attributes. Releases will happen on a regular basis. To make sure no one misses out: every new chapter will be announced in advance.

 The raw 100 with Scott secco was my favourite, where he goes bikepacking. Except the video seems to have disappeared from the internet which is a shame

 The Backyard is for me the epitome of what mountain biking is about. It got me dreaming of places to ride and actually making plans and traveling to get there and ride some of these places. Then, whatever the film, if Mike Hopkins is involved, I know it's going to be good, really good. Siblings and of course the Dream Ride series were also excellent. Hope Mike keeps evolving and producing such quality content for years to come.

 "Skidsville" still gets me after all these years. I don't know how many people I've sent this to exemplify good storytelling in the bike biz.
