by Sarah Moore  


bigquotesNo schedule, no timed runs, no race day pressure... off season is a time when mountain bike downhill riders want to relax right? Not if you're Finn Iles though! The Whistler local rolled up his sleeves, got a crew together and travelled up to Sun Peaks resort, where they've created & filmed a true mtb masterpiece. Enjoy!—Red Bull Bike

The build was imagined by Finn but Justin Wyper led the build. Filmed by a crew including Rupert Walker, Calvin Huth and Clay Porter. Photos by Paris Gore.

 All it cost was the run out from the cheese grater. It's a little sketchier now but still rideable.

 Video of the year! Got me so pumped to go out and ride...and at the same time workout harder for next season. Finn was man handling those massive hits. Makes me want to overshoot all my local jumps and drops (huck to flat!).

 So sick. Some Jordie Lunn vibes in there with the hucks, trap and that stance at the end of the vid. A bit of smoke in the background would have perfect.

 Nasty speed. Noticed his gloves were on for this. Skills to pay the Bills (.)(.)

 Lets Go Finn! He's always been one of my favorites.- Anyone else notice he's not on his prototype bike here? back on the standard demo.

 Specialized built just a couple of the proto frames, so likely they didn't want to risk the few in existence for Finn's huck to flat project.

 I liked the shots where I could almost see what was going on. The rest I just have to trust were sick, but the filming doesn't really showcase that.
