If you live in Whistler, or visit the bike park more than once a summer, its probably safe to say that between you and your pals, you have bets on who can do the most laps or days in the park in a season. Its a challenge that everyones willing to take on, because lets be honest, who doesnt want to ride endless lift-access trails in one of the best places on earth? There is one person, however, who is taking this concept to the next level: Adam Billinghurst.

You may have noticed lately that we've been posting a few photos of some not bad riding, amongst some not bad scenery, in a not bad place called Queenstown, New Zealand. While shooting there this past winter with the Trek C3 Project team, we were exposed to so many amazing things and we're curious to see what your idea of 'notbad' is.

The points start collecting from the very first beep of the season at round one. The pressure of their presence sits on riders’ shoulders all year. The ticking clock may stop after each run but the abacus never stops, it only pauses between races to coil the riders springs even tighter. Until eventually the chips are counted at the final round.
As filmmakers we've had the privilege to be present for some great moments in a few riders' careers. Whether it’s a high-risk move, a contest or a race, it’s always cool to see vision become reality.
I find it amazing how much downhill racing has progressed and flourished over the past 10 years - especially in the women's field. What used to be a male-driven sport, is now enjoyed by a variety of people across the board. Womens' riding has developed into a hardworking, inspirational group of girls who are constantly progressing at an alarming rate. I have been inspired by this progress. It has pushed me further than I ever thought possible, both through my riding and my art. Every day I am driven to accomplish more with every brush and pedal stroke. - Micayla Gatto
In BC, you can experience the evolution of mountain biking through the trails. From beaten down jumps on a vacant lot to massive back-country booters; from first descents that have never seen the tread of a tire to machine-made masterpieces. Trails connect all mountain bikers, and in BC, trail builders are the force that bring riders together.

The UCI world cup circuit is a living, breathing community of riders dedicated to travelling the globe to race bikes. Nomadic in nature, this elite community exists only on the road in a never-ending pursuit of milliseconds. These athletes train the hardest, constantly drive technology forward and act as ambassadors for our sport as they travel the world to compete.
The riding community in Nepal is just emerging. In Nepal, walking is the primary form of transportation resulting in a seemingly endless amount of paths, trails and routes connecting people and places throughout the landscape. What’s new for the Nepalese is the concept of riding mountain bikes on these trails. A core group of riders committed to sharing the riding experience with all have kick-started the mountain bike community here. Their enthusiasm and perseverance reminds us of what its like to be part of a movement.
Green River, Utah is a modern day ghost town, its quiet streets and empty buildings swallowed up by the desert stretching out in all directions; nothing is “near” to here. It just so happens that this desert holds the mother lode for freeriding terrain. And while only a handful of riders have the vision, skill and nerves to ride in this foreboding landscape, what they accomplish here constantly reshapes the face of mountain biking as we know it.
