The Art & Trails project brought together three artists and one author from communities across Northern British Columbia to capture the spirit of mountain bike trails and share the stories they hold. This is a story of how art and culture transcend the physical act of mountain biking to create a deeper connection to the land and its people.

Ben Haggar is a freelance photographer, writer and filmmaker based in Squamish, British Columbia. He also works as a Polar Guide running logistics and executing trips in the Arctic and Antarctica. His goal as a photographer and general human being is to inspire people to push a little further, break out of their comfort zone, and discover new places and experiences at home or abroad while thinking of their environmental impact. Ben specializes in photographing the activities he is most passionate about: remote travel and expeditions, action sports, environmental conservation and the underwater world. His work has been displayed in galleries and film festivals in western Canada and the US, Singapore, London and the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

Matt Hunter and Matty Miles need no introduction. They embody the spirit of mountain biking to its core and their love for riding shines through into everything they do. Ride along as the Kamloops, BC natives give us a glimpse of what a typical weekend of riding looks like for this dynamic duo.
Thrown into the mix of this POV is local legend Luke Beers (@lukebeers) alongside up-and-coming young guns Jesse Munden (@jessemunden_) and Marcus Cant (@marcus_cant). Youd be hard-pressed to find a more exciting combination of riders to watch as they navigate a gnarly descent together—hooting and hollering with each slapped corner, two-wheel drift and extended bout of airtime. Sit back and let their effortless flow guide your dreams ahead of this coming weekend!
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.
