Three veteran mountain-bike adventurers—freerider Kenny Smith, photographer Margus Riga and journalist Brice Minnigh—head deep into the Chilean Andes in a multi-day search for singletrack, scree chutes and some elusive, black-powder bowls. Seasoned in the self-styled art of unsupported wilderness bikepacking, the longtime friends adopt a loose expedition plan that leaves plenty of room for spontaneity and shenanigans in a laughter-filled mission that is equal parts Spaghetti Western, The Three Amigos and a twisted Stephen King novel.

Ride along with Myles Trainer, as he follows Kelend Hawks down some east side classics, Pete’s Dragon and Wild Turkey.
After the 2021 forest fires on the east side of the Cascades, Transition Bikes held a dig day to revamp Pete’s Dragon trail. The Bellingham crew worked with Cody Olsen and Remy Aucoin of Evergreen MTB Alliance, who had already cut all of the hazardous burnt trees out. DVO athlete Myles Trainer and crew rebuilt berms that had been crushed by deadfall. After two long days of digging, Myles and crew were able to test the trail modifications and also lap another Twisp favorite, Wild Turkey.
Everyone interprets a trail differently, and while there’s no wrong way, there are certainly some more impressive ways. Perspectives on Velocity aims to unravel the mysteries of speed, line choice and reaction that are unique to the best mountain bikers in the world. Hop on board with an array of fast, smooth and stylish riders as they take on select trails throughout North America.
