Best Singletrack World Image | Pick Your Winner

We’re revealing the Finalists in each of the Singletrack Reader Awards 2021 categories. Thanks to all of you for your nominations, and to our awards sponsors, Kona Bicycles. Here’s who made the cut for the Best Singletrack World Image.

Some things don’t change, and Singletrack World Magazine and Singletrackworld.com have still been filled with great images. Which one stands out for you?

Pete Scullion – The Selfie Cover

A striking, inspiring image that makes you just want to get out and ride your bike. The moody clouds in the sky contrasting against the heat of the sunrise are one thing, but when you learn that this image was a selfie by Pete, it gains a whole new level of awesome.

Isaac Orloff – 20 Year Anniversary Cover

When we approached Isaac for our anniversary cover commission, we gave him what seemed like an unachievable brief. One one side we wanted to show the past rider, on all the relevant gear, and on the the other show the present/future of mountain biking. Somehow, he created this masterpiece of an illustration with very little guidance beyond ‘old vs new please mate!’
Watch the making of the cover over on YouTube.

Pete Scullion – The Sound of Arisaig

Our latest cover image has had quite an impact on Singletrack subscribers. Upon revealing the cover choice, we were flooded with positive responses and praise for Pete’s eye for a great shot. It’s never luck with Pete – he calculates, plans, checks maps and puts the work in for the shot he’s after. As always, it has paid off. Buy your copy of this cover here.

Amanda is our resident pedaller, who loves the climbs as much as the descents. No genre of biking is turned down, though she is happiest when at the top of a mountain with a wild descent ahead of her. If you ever want a chat about concussion recovery, dealing with a Womb of Doom or how best to fuel an endurance XC race, she's the one to email.
