Alex Volokhov has no problem going against the grain. His home near Nelson, BC, is entirely powered by solar panels, his heating, a modest wood-burning stove, and his regular commute to town is by boat.

Off-grid living only scratches the surface of Alex’s world.

Alex takes us deep into the backcountry near Nelson, BC. There, amidst the rugged landscape, we uncover the raw, hand-built trails he's created as a playground out of BC’s world-famous dirt. A network Powerplay built, Powerplay ridden.

There’s a new tool in the shed. Introducing the all-new Instinct Powerplay SL.
