Ready to dive into some adrenaline-pumping adventures? From backcountry freeriding to urban street skiing, this lineup of films and projects will leave you inspired—and maybe a little breathless. But here’s where it gets controversial: what happens when athletes stop playing by the rules and start blending disciplines? Let’s explore.
Nico Vink - Cordillera: Imagine dedicating nearly four decades to mountain biking, always chasing the next thrill. For Nico Vink, that thrill came in the form of a backcountry freeride trip through Chile’s Cordillera de los Andes. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about riding trails—it’s about conquering mountains. Alongside friends like Marcin Rot, Oscar Harnstrom, and Chilean local Roco Leandro, Nico explored both new and familiar zones, including Markus Stöckl’s legendary speed record area. With a mix of self-filming and collaboration with Sherpa FPV, Gonzalo Robert, and Benja Villela, this journey was as much about creativity as it was about riding. Supported by brands like Schwalbe and Ion, Nico’s adventure is a testament to the spirit of exploration. But here’s a thought: in an era of professional crews, is self-filming the future of adventure storytelling? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Eddie Reynolds - All Mixed Up: What happens when you start filming with no plan? For Eddie Reynolds and Jimmy Astleford, it turned into a two-year project that defies categorization. Originally aiming for a street-focused mountain bike video, they ended up with something entirely unique—a mix of street, non-street, and everything in between. But here’s where it gets controversial: does blending genres dilute the purity of a discipline, or does it push boundaries? Share your take below.
Jérôme Caroli - COMBINE: After 14 years in the downhill mountain bike World Cup, Jérôme Caroli stepped away from competition to merge his passions: alpine skiing and biking. Filmed in the breathtaking Val de Bagnes and Verbier, COMBINE showcases the synergy between these sports in extreme terrain. But it’s not just about the ride—it’s about the precision, patience, and trust required to carve lines where mistakes aren’t an option. And this is the part most people miss: the film highlights how skiing and biking share more than just adrenaline. They demand the same respect for terrain and commitment to the line. What do you think—is combining disciplines the future of adventure sports?
Forbidden Bikes - Vacation Town: What happens when you gather a group of riders in Cumberland, BC, with no itinerary and no expectations? Pure magic. The Forbidden Bikes crew spent five days truck camping, riding iconic trails, and enjoying the simplicity of good company and great bikes. From Graham Agassiz’s Druid CorE to Nolan Weiss’s local talent on the Dreadnought, this project was about embracing the moment. But here’s a thought: in a world obsessed with productivity, is there value in letting adventures unfold organically? Weigh in below.
Frameworks - Pre-Season in SoCal: The 2026 team kicked off their season with a warm-weather trip to test bikes with Fox. No frills, just riding and preparation for what’s to come.

Transition's Dirtbag Factory Racing Athletes Tear Up Some Lush Vermont Woods: Join Isaac Allaire and Tucker Shearer for a day of riding in the Vermont woods, where the trails are as lush as the adventure is raw.
A WEEK IN TORONTO | Tom Wallisch & Evan McEachran: What happens when you combine a snowstorm, two decades of filming experience, and a city like Toronto? A fresh take on urban skiing. Tom Wallisch and Evan McEachran, alongside filmer Kyle Decker, experimented with unique angles and a custom score to capture the essence of street skiing. But here’s where it gets controversial: is urban skiing the future of the sport, or just a passing trend? Share your thoughts.
Yalla Habibi!: FortNine’s attempt to break the circumnavigation world record is equal parts documentary and dark comedy. With Edwin El Bainou riding pillion, this dangerously silly race across continents is a must-watch. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about the record—it’s about the polished yet authentic perspective of a ride-along cinematographer. Worth the $10?
Dylan Siggers - GRUMBO: There’s a monster in this film, and its name is GRUMBO. A collaboration between Dylan Siggers and a talented crew, this project showcases the new ski it’s based on. But what makes it stand out? The blend of artistry and adrenaline. But here’s a thought: in an age of high-tech filmmaking, is there still room for raw, experimental projects like this?
World’s Best Snowboarders vs 100ft Jump: Sometimes, bigger is better. Mark McMorris, Zeb Powell, and other snowboarding legends tackled a massive 100ft jump in Mammoth Mountain for PAVED, a Burton & Red Bull Media House co-production. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about the jump—it’s about pushing the limits of what’s possible.
David Loy’s “XX” Birdhouse Part Lines: This 8-minute experimental film explores the moments before performance, where fear transforms into belief. Following skier Mallory Duncan and rapper Chima the Stubborn, it blends backcountry skiing, original music, and raw emotion. But here’s where it gets controversial: is this the future of ski films, or a one-off experiment? Let us know what you think.
From the Andes to Toronto, these projects challenge conventions and redefine adventure. What’s your take? Are athletes and filmmakers pushing boundaries too far, or is this the evolution we’ve been waiting for? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we’re all ears!
