What do you ride (type of terrain)?
Anything and everything. If it’s got wood, dirt, rocks, or loam I’m in! But If I had to choose one type of terrain to ride for the rest of my life it would be a combination of the above with techy gaps. Basically the Canadian Open DH.
What's the intended use for your new bike?
Enduros, Phat Wednesday DH in the bike park, big days out, and adventures around the world. Pretty much a bit of everything.

Fox 36 Factory and Fox DHX2, GX cranks, X0 derailleur, Shimano XT pedals, We Are One Unions laced to Hydra hubs.

What do you love about your new bike?
I love how versatile this bike is. I’ve raced DH and Enduro on it, tackled multi-day alpine missions, hit dreamy freeride lines around the world—even pushed through long XC days when that’s what the terrain demanded. You name it, this bike’s done it—or will. If N+1 wasn’t a thing, this would be my one and only.
