I bought my first MTB 10 years ago after I saw Wades part in The Collective. Thanks for inspiring a decade of good times my man!

The Collective was 10 years ago?! Damn I feel old!

Released in 2004 according to Wikipedia. I know what you mean though, how time fly's!

sheeesshh... The Collective. Gotta check that out again sometime. Though I very much favored the Roam. Anyway. That Wade, down to earth guy, fifteen years down the line, living the dream, but not the poster image version of it.

He truly embodies the spirit of what I think it means to be Canadian." Canadian's" can be found all over the world, small towns, grass roots type people.. When I use the name Canadian, in this instance it's out of pride but also in a way that I recognize that I have met and there are many non Canadian, "Canadians" in small towns everywhere, people with good values, a good and pure spirit for adventure and the simple life!

What a great mountain biker what a great family man awesome to have your kid riding with you at 4 years old only wish Michael could ride with me like that have four years old. It shows even with a with a family you can bike it up and still chase your dream. Great great video pedal on to all

good bio and a seemingly great guy/spokesman for the sport. Really needed to add the part of his career when he broke his leg in NSX, seems to me that changed his career.

I would trade almost anything to spend just one day with this guy..
