(3/3): Ruthless conditions and a bunch of pinned racers made the inaugural round of the B.C. Cup Downhill Series for 2026 a cracker to kick off the season. Winners. Losers. And a track that was relentless. Full story on @nsmbteam by @ardorbrand

(1/3) A last-minute trip south of the border for the @northamericanendurocup x @usacycling Enduro National Championships in Idaho was too good to pass up.Silver Mountain in Kellogg is an absolute gem, one that I was stoked to return to. The event, run by a dialled crew delivered. With over 40 minutes of racing, stages stretching beyond 14 minutes for the fastest riders, new faces, and plenty of familiar ones, it was a weekend to remember.Excited to capture more race action in the coming weeks. by @ardorbrand

(2/3) Over 40 minutes of racing. Stages pushing beyond 14 minutes for the fastest riders. Enduro racing doesn’t get much more legitimate than this.The trails at Silver Mountain are the real deal, with a solid mix of fast off-cambers, technical rock, and classic bike park terrain.The @northamericanendurocup x @usacycling Enduro National Championships put riders through a true test, with a course that rewarded fitness, focus, and the ability to manage both bike and body over two gruelling days of racing.Big tracks, big efforts, and racing that left little on the table. by @ardorbrand

(3/3) While the racing brought everyone to Idaho, it’s always the people who make these weekends memorable.Meeting new people and catching up with old ones is always a treat and the @northamericanendurocup x @usacycling Enduro National Championships delivered plenty of both. Add in an incredible venue, a dedicated crew, and some seriously good racing, and it’s easy to see why events like this keep drawing riders back.I’m already looking forward to the next one. by @ardorbrand

(3/3): This one was a fun one to be part of.A few frames of the new @crestlinebikes RS181 Forged Series with the Avinox MS motor. There’s been a bit of noise around this new motor since the embargo lift, and it was cool to get a closer look at it through the lens, and to team up with Crestline in the process. I put together a YouTube video going behind the scenes if you’re curious how the shoot came together.#productphotography #mountainbike #keepitlit by @ardorbrand
