It all started in July 2017. Liv chose six winners of an Instagram contest and together those women would become the Trail Squad. The team would set out to compete in the most epic mountain bike stage race of them all, the 2018 ABSA Cape Epic, an eight-day stage race in South Africa with a total distance of 658km and 13,530 meters of climbing.
The Squad would be joined by professional XC racers Serena Bishop Gordon and Kaysee Armstrong, who had mentored the team from the beginning. But when each rider set foot in Cape Town four days ahead of the race, no one had met face-to-face.
In Episode One of the Trail Squad’s journey, we get to know the athletes and the race they are about to embark on. As the race kicks off with the Prologue – a time trial stage to the top of Cape Town’s Table Mountain – the Squad is nervous but eager to get underway.
Everyone crosses the finish line safely and relieved to have one day under their belts. However, a crash for the pro team means they have work to do.

![Baja Dust: A Hunt for Uncharted Ridgelines on the Edge of the Pacific [TRAILER]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/twG68OjPe7M/mqdefault.jpg "Baja Dust: A Hunt for Uncharted Ridgelines on the Edge of the Pacific [TRAILER]
About the film:
Mexico’s Baja peninsula is home to some of the most barren and remote terrain in the Northern Hemisphere. What it lacks in amenities, however, is more than made up for by miles of beautiful coastline, pristine waves, bountiful fish and uncharted ridgelines. For two long-time friends, Cody Wilkins and George VanDercook, it’s also a place where their respective passions of mountain biking and fly fishing have a unique opportunity to overlap. Along with the rest of the Los Locos fishing crew and fellow mountain biker Alex Chay, they take to the water in search of off-shore lines to ride and massive marlin to wrangle.
