The Rhaetian Railway gives access to some of the most awesome singletrack in the Swiss Alps. Therefore, I was quite happy, when they comissioned me to shoot a mountain bike video for them.

In To The Wind
We left Great Orms Head in North Wales to attempt the Welsh Coast to Coast. Unfortunately the weather and logistics got the better of us and we weren’t able to make it to Worms Head in the south as planned. That aside we had a great 3 days riding bikes and sleeping in the wild.

Open for Business
January and February saw untold amounts of rain across the UK. For London mountain bikers that meant Epping Forest – not the driest place at the best of times – was unrideable. But come early March the standing water receded and Hackney GT riders were the first to find the trails ‘open for business’….
Brandon Semenuk’s RAD COMPANY pushes the limits of freeride mountain biking and showcases the skills and passion that make him one of the most versatile and explosive riders on the planet. Brandon handpicked the crew of riders for this film who drive and inspire him in each discipline, ultimately creating some of the highest level of riding ever caught on camera. The film features an eclectic soundtrack that flows like your favorite mix tape, while seamlessly meshing all disciplines of mountain biking. NWD Films and Red Bull Media House have teamed up with some of the top cinematographers and digital effects artists to create an innovative style, while keeping true to the “all killer no filler” style of the New World Disorder.
Continental // Building an Enduro Game Changer
For many years now, Continental have been pushing the boundaries of tyre technology, innovative designs and excelling performance. Development of their new 27.5 range to cater for all riders in all disciplines they are at the fore front of keeping you planted when you ride. Supporting teams all over the world and resulting in plenty of top level accomplishments, they are able to design rubber that not just works for the best but tested and developed by them also.
The past 2 years Continental have been also developing a UK based Enduro team to tackle the World & National series. This year getting on board with Saracen, Shimano, Mavic, Marzocchi and more, they have built up one stunning machine.
Running the Saracen Ariel150 as the main body with Continental Trail King 27.5 holding it firmly to the ground, this is one machine to look out for.
