STRIKE! Somehow ok after this huge one. Thanks to the medics @tdsenduro for looking after me and to @bellhelmets for saving my noggin.

Such a fun event, regardless of this, and I couldn’t miss it for the world. Hero dirt on day 1 made for the sickest riding, and day 2 was a hectic slop fest that might’ve been even more fun. Was gunning for spirit this year, and it was brutal, haha. We’ll get 'em next time.

As always, can’t wait for next year! Thank you to the Sanchez family for always bringing me in and making me feel at home. I love this community so so much ❤️

(PS: Did it for you, Chucko! And sorry to the homie that I folded, He's ok!)

I’ve genuinely never done anything this hard before… 20+ days straight in July, trekking my bike and camera bag up rugged terrain, following these 4 lunatics around. Sleeping on the floor of the bike garage the whole time. Dirty, smelly, sleep-deprived, sore, and mildly malnourished. I couldn’t imagine a better way to live my life!

When Timmy hit me up over a year ago with the intention of creating a series for Cannondale, I had no idea that something like this would come to fruition. I started storyboarding and planning for something rudimentary, basic, something that people have seen before. Then, when the idea subsequently got scrapped, I was almost excited that I didn’t have to tackle a season-long ordeal that wasn’t truly with my heart's intentions.

A surprise came in the spring, though, a phone call with Timmy, “What’s up, FELLER, C-dale gave us the go-ahead, we’re doing a road trip, and you are comin' along”. I couldn’t believe it, my first real break, I’d been speaking about self-producing a film for some time now. Honestly, the doubt was building within; I didn’t know if this whole film thing was actually going to amount to anything. I felt untalented, behind, and at a major disadvantage. But this! This was an opportunity to show people what I could do, prove that I have a vision and the willpower to make it come to fruition. Prove to myself that I actually have what it takes to make something that feels meaningful.

I said f#ck it and left behind the cozy life I’d been building in Washington and decided to pursue this, unbeknownst to me at the time, gargantuan project. When everything was said and done, I was sitting on well over a terabyte of footage to sift through and no home to go back to. I spent the rest of the summer half-avoiding, half anxiously waiting to pit myself into creating this project. I took out loans, missed car payments, avoided every bill you could think of, slept on many a couch, and many a street in my van. In order to fully give my mind over to organizing and planning this piece. Once I got to chopping up clips, it became apparent that the workload was going to be tremendous.

Insane day tagging along on the @tourdegnar on Wednesday! Thank you to @yoannbarelli for letting me join in for the last few hours of madness and sends. Pretty ridiculous how some of these features feel to ride. Every rider who showed up for this is top class and it was an honor to be amongst the legends of gnar. Healing vibes to Felipe who took a gnarly spill on our last feature of the day, sustaining some pretty serious injuries. This was such a well thought out event and the positivity and excitement that erupted when each person ticked off a feature was contagious and palpable. I hope to do the whole tour next year and I’m excited to see what other crazy lines Yoann and @ztipsetan have lined up for us. Thanks everyone!

(PS: this was a sick way to break in the fresh @ride_nf kit)

A few of my favorite moments from the latest Sketchbook episode. Thanks for all the love, everyone!

It's been crazy producing so much content the last few weeks. I have yet to find a good balance of focus with my chaotic mind. Most of these are edited overnight, right at deadline, typically in some sort of hotel lobby that I am not supposed to be in.

Anyways, excited to get rolling on the next few projects over the WC break. Back to freeride for a lil bit. Thanks to everyone who's been making life great lately. I love my friends with a burning passion.

Thank you, Bjorn, for hiring me to capture your first win. I'm so proud; maybe I was a lil too harsh on this whole XC thing after all. It's pretty cool. ✴❤️✴

Thanks, Piper, for the dad cam Footy and some S-log contributions from the pits.

Been loving working for @scottmtbracing these last couple weeks. Dream come true to be at the world cups with all the homies. I always thought I’d be here as a rider but this change of pace is pretty sweet too. I’ve had an awful lung infection the whole stretch of this euro trip so far. Very grateful to the team and the people around me who’ve helped out. Stoked to get healthy and pitted into the rest of the season of exploring and filming. I love this shit 🫶

Thx to @frischi_nextlevel @piperalbrecht @bjorn.riley @bikeonscott for this opportunity 🙏 by @heiheimtb
