No thrashing guitars. No grinding bass. Just the buzz of a free hub, chatter of tyres on the track, the tweeting of a bird, and maybe just a hint of a rustle of waterproof jacket. This isn’t your usual Red Bull fare. Part of the Raw 100 series – where film makers are given three rules: it must be 100 seconds long, there can be no slo-mo, and no music – this film is a fresh take on the Freeride/BMX/MTB/AwesomeRadderLouderMore genre that we’ve grown accustomed to.

Filmed on a track in California that hasn’t been used since it creation for the X Games in the early 2000s (no Legacy Plan there then?), it’s a damp, misty setting that is a far cry from the baked desert scenes of Red Bull Rampage.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
