Had the honour of joining longtime adventure buddy, Tito Tomasi, for three weeks of adventure in Nepal.
We arrived in Kathmandu and mad our way to the Mustang region. I reached my highest elevation on Earth and felt as though I had accomplished something great, once we had finished.

Very excited about signing with Orbea Bicycles.
The bikes look incredible and ride even better. Here is my first ride on my Orbea Occam. This is an aggressive 29", 140mm travel trail bike, kitted out with Fox Suspension, Race Face components, Maxxis rubber and Shimano drivetrain. This is my first ride after properly setting it up and where better to test it than on "Boogie Man" filmed on my GoPro MAX.
Hope you enjoy the ride!
I had the lucky opportunity to visit Oaxaca, Mexico with Oaxaca Bike Expeditions.
I had so many great things about this place and been wanting to visit for a few years now.
The staff was amazing and very knowledgable of the riding in the area.
Trails that felt like absolute heaven… I highly recommend visiting this area to ride.
Enjoy the video!
I am currently in transit, on my way home, from two excellent weeks of riding in the Peruvian Andes.
Was lucky enough to have some of my close friends from home join me with Haku Expeditions, for this incredible journey.
This video is a raw clip, from the famous “PumaMarka” trail. Filmed on my GoPro MAX
Full video coming this week.
I had the opportunity to go to Nepal this March. The people, food and riding terrain were all outstanding.
I hope you enjoy the video, all shot on my GoPro HERO7 black.
Had the opportunity to ride a pretty spectacular trail last week.
The view is insane but you need to stay focused otherwise, you won’t be riding it again!

Hope you enjoy!
I have been on the road for seven weeks now and haven’t had much time to keep up to date…
Have recently returned from Germany, Nepal, Bali and California.
Here, I follow Focus Bikes team rider, Joe Connell, through some of Stuttgart, Germany’s most fun trails:
I was able to get a final ride in Monterey, California, that made my trip. Hope you like it!
Built up my new Focus SAM for my upcoming trips. I can’t say enough great things about this beautiful new machine.
Spec’d with:
Spank: Wheels, Saddle, Bar, Stem and Saddle
Marzocchi: Fork, Rear Shock and Dropper Post
Shimano: Cassette, Derailleur, Cranks, Chain and Brakes
Hope you like it as much as I do!
I had the amazing opportunity to escape winter conditions in BC, to go visit the Focus Bikes headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. It was 16 degrees and the dirt was perfect. Here, I am doing a kick-ass jump trail with teammate, Joe Connell. Shot on my GoPro HERO7 black, on our Focus SAM2 ebikes.
Home for a few days and then headed off to Nepal, with Haku Expeditions, to guide a trip. Follow along on instagram for daily updates and videos.
We haven’t had much of a winter, here, in North Vancouver. However, the dirt has been excellent.
I shot this with my Gopro HERO7 black
I travel to Cusco, Peru, every year to guide an epic mountain bike trip with Haku Expeditions.
The trip is always a blast due to the amazing terrain and always excited guests.
We are based at 12 000 ft in Cusco and do shuttle drops from up to 15 000 ft.
This Sunset ride in particular was the best moment for me this year. Riding my new Focus Bikes, SAM and captured with the new GoPro Hero7.
We are doing this trip again next November as well as beginning a trip to Nepal, March ‘19.
Please send me an email, if you would like to join these amazing trips!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Sometimes it is important just to ride with the boys and enjoy yourself.
Brian Lopes and I were on a GoPro shoot earlier this week and had time to do a fun lap with our buddy, Ben Ketler. This trail was insanely fun!!!
Hope you enjoy the lap of Khleeway!
Filmed on my GoPro HERO6.
Super stoked on this quick piece I did with The Mix. We only had a day to make it happen in between trips and I am very pleased with the final product.
Enjoy!
I have been slow with the posting but this ride at Retallack Lodge was definitely worth taking the time. Super smokey up there and I am so pleased to finally see some rain, to help with these forest fires. I used the GoPro, Fusion, 360 cam that delivers and crazy new angle and insane stabilization.
Enjoy!
Always a blast to have some time to ride awesome trails with your friends at home.
This Saturday, we traveled to the Sunshine Coast of BC, to ride the Coast Gravity Park on my Focus Bikes, SAM.
The season is in full swing!
Already, I have been to Germany for distributor meeting with Focus Bikes, New Zealand for Crankworx Rotorua and Souther California for the IXS catalog shoot.
I am very excited for this season. Just signing with Goodyear Bike Tires, to help develop and drive the iconic automotive brand in the mountain bike industry.
It's only going to get better!
Winter hit hard here in Vancouver. Some people may get discouraged by the stormy weather and others take advantage of the snowy hills. I chose the ladder this year and enjoyed the cross training in insane conditions that we received.
I think it's healthy to take a little bit of time off the bike and do something else. Strengthens unnatural muscle groups you wouldn't always be using. Forces you to see the terrain differently and learn new reactions.
However, I am ready for warmer weather and sunny conditions at Crankworx, NZ. Trails have been snowy here and difficult to find the motivation in the freezing temperatures.
This was a rad day with good friend, Margus Riga, captured on my GoPro HERO6
I am so pleased to announce my new partnership with Focus Bikes!
Going to be an awesome ride!

These trails are stunning, close to death but stunning. You may not be able to enjoy the scenery while you ride but you will be thoroughly engaged by the trail.
