POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The US ISDE Club Team GTBN did not get the memo that the race sucks this year, give up. Layton Smail, Tyler Vore and Jaden Dahners [pictured on podium] clawed their way to 3rd Club Team out of 93 teams entered. Given the circumstances and dust this year, just to finish was a monumental task.

The second photo shows a club members dedication to the cause. You say blood in, blood out? It doesn't get much gnarlier than this.

We will no longer accept slacking from now on. We know who our people are.

Our latest work for Visit Helena just won an award and we’re beyond stoked!

Here’s why:

When Visit Helena set out to tell the compelling story of Helena’s heritage and culture, they wanted a team that understood what it means to celebrate—not sell—a place. That difference is important to us because Helena’s our home, after all. Our team got to work on a three-part artist spotlight series featuring painter Cyrus Walker, ceramicist Giselle Hicks, and woodworker A.L. Swanson. In Giselle’s video, she shared the qualities she wants her artwork to embody: Beauty. Generosity. Stability. Strength.

Damn. We couldn’t think of a better description of this place.

In September, the Montana Department of Commerce presented Visit Helena with the award for Marketing Campaign of the Year, given in recognition of their campaign that “told the story of Helena as the state’s premier historical, cultural and arts destination.”

“This award really highlights the collaborative partnership we have with SOVRN,” said Andrea Opitz, Executive Director of Visit Helena, “and SOVRN’s ability to create authentic, original work that aligns with our organizational goals. That trust and collaboration is huge.”

Awards are great, but it’s testimonials like Andrea’s that get us fired up and keep us going. We don’t take on a project if we don’t think we can deliver, and then some. That’s our not-so-secret sauce: A selective approach. Hard work. Creative firepower. And a big dose of Hel Yea! spirit.

Congrats, Visit Helena!

Meet @branham.snyder 🔥TransAzteca Ambassador. 🇲🇽 🇺🇸

A lifelong mountain biker, racer, coach, and proud Mexican-American rider who’s spent years exploring trails across North America.

He’s raced TransAzteca, survived the climbs, enjoyed the descents, and earned the tacos.

Thinking about joining us in Mexico?

Hit him up for stories from the race, ask him what to expect, and don’t forget to ask for his discount code. 👊

See you in Mexico.

We came, we saw, we danced. Our crew was grateful to attend Benefis Health Systems’ annual Mayfaire event, celebrating their new Goodnow Healthy Aging Center.

This Center, located in Great Falls, is focused on supporting health maintenance and promotes patients’ continued independence through nutrition, medication, cognitive health, and mobility. Healthy aging takes a team. The theme of the night was, “Never stop growing.”

We loved creating a short narrative film for this event (we’ll share soon!), and seeing the emotional reactions. It was an overall wonderful night of great food, conversation, and community. Shout out to the amazing Sarah Yoder, Benefis Director of Marketing and Communications for her creative vision. Cheers, Benefis!

@trans.azteca done and dusted! 🇲🇽🌮🍺

I met @maudeavila_ about 10 years ago in Mascota at a BME enduro, so when I heard he was hosting a Trans race, I knew it would be a good time, laid back and most importantly full of culture. @branham.snyder invited us to join, and we tagged in @jes_nyquist and @dj_nyq as well.

4 days of racing in some of the coolest areas Mexico City has to offer. Extremely well built trails, steeps, and a 14,500’ volcano to drop in from. @cardosantobikeranch offering a fun jump session and comfy camping to end day 2.

Partying lapping with @dj_nyq was a real treat when dust allowed, and experiencing blind trails with old and new friends is what racing should always be about.

@sasmith2 did amazing racing blind after we both had norovirus days before leaving for Mexico City. She continues to impress me with her determination pushing to the top of the volcano after a flaring up and old knee injury. Tough as nails 🔨🔨

Hope to continue traveling and seeing new areas with all of these awesome people! Thanks again Mau and the entire @trans.azteca crew for a great race, @yorchdeavila and @julio.araiza and others for the fun shuttles 🍺🍺

Another Fall ArtWalk is in the books and we still can’t get over how special it was. We celebrated eighteen years of @fourosix , shared the incredible artwork of our friend Chip Clawson, and teamed up with @dickandersonconstruction and @skigd to help raise over $11,000 for @helenafoodshare

What made it truly memorable was the way this community showed up. Helena has a way of turning an evening into something bigger and more meaningful, and we’re grateful every time we see that spirit in action.

Thank You Helena. ❤️

What an incredible finish to an absolute awesome season of the @montanaenduro Rendezvous Enduro at the @jh_bikepark with @norcobicycles. Somehow thru this summer of drought, moisture found each race venue and the makings of blue bird hero dirt alerts on race day. No better place for that magic once again than with a start of stage 1 from the top of Rendezvous Peak at Jackson Hole and Big Red!
Massive shout out to our 100% volunteered crew making it all happen and our dedicated sponsors for keeping that podium stoke alive and well.
This is more than a race though, this is you, your friends and your families making this series the greatest and longest standing grassroots enduro series in the Northern Rockies! Thank you all!! Thank you.
