"On the morning of this ride, our crew was blissfully stoked. We had already endured a huge vertical climb through the mountains of Iceland's Landmannalaugar region. We were tired and beaten, but the striking beauty that surrounded us-and the perfect ribbon of singletrack ahead-fueled our spirits. We were about to ride through a visual niravna.
All about us there was a sense of how unique this place was, and of how fortunate we were to be there, riding through the heart of Iceland, on one of the rare days when the sun broke free of the clouds and painted the horizon in vivid light.
Moments like these are hard to describe. Words fail, which is why we have the photograph-it's such a powerful tool, and the only way I could possibly convey an experience like this. I felt so fortunate to be where I was, to have a camera in my hands, my friends on their bikes, and an incredibly striking landscape to righe through.." - Sterling Lorence

"It is always a thrill to be able to capture something in a different way. Chances are, when you're on your bike crossing a creek, you aren't thinking about what it looks like from under the water. But an underwater camera setup takes us there, into the world of crayfish, salmon and the caddis fly." - Jordan Manley

"This kicker was truly isolated. After a 6 a.m. Tim Hortons run, a one-hour four-by-four drive and an hour-long quad ride with four guys and two bikes piled high on the vehicle, we arrived just in time for daybreak to shoot a segment for the latest Kranked film. Most likely, James was the first rider to ever grace the slopes of this remote desert outback." - John Wellburn

"Catch me in a moment of unguarded honesty, and I'll admit that I'm not a fan of the Psychosis course in Golden, B.C. This has nothing to do with the quality of the track, which offers a world-class selection of steeps, gaps and drops-it's just out of my class as a rider, and I spend the majority of the time praying for an end to the onslaught. This section of the course, however, is mere yards from the sanctuary of the finish, at which point the horrors of the gnarliest parts have already begun to fade, replaced instead with a binary left-right-left-right rip down perfect hard-packed berms, as trees blur in unison with the crescendo of tire buzz." - Dan Barham

"The vivid greens and textures in this shot are amazing. The moss on the tree looks so gentle and placid, but dirt jumping feels completely the opposite. When I dirt jump, everything feels so sharp and focused-the precision you need to get through the set, and knowing that the more you commit and work with them, the higher you'll get and the happier you'll feel. When it's right, it feels effortless, smooth and makes my legs quiver with a combination of excitement and the knowledge of how much it hurts to crash." - Rachel Atherton

"Micayla Gatto looks so stealth here, and hella grrrrrr! It's rad to see such an unconventional race shot. I doubt Micayla even knew she was being photographed, which makes it perfect. This is pure race: It seems she is putting her everything in, and she's in that zone where nothing else matters but attacking the track, all the way down. There's no letting up, even when there's no one watching, which, to me, is what a true racer does. Having watched Micayla race all yaer, this is what I associate her with-an empty track, but still giving it her all." - Rachel Atherton

"Although Mount St. Helens is most famous for the Plains of Abraham-a windswept, high-altitude, pumice-garden moonscape accented by "ghost trees" stripped raw by the devastating eruption-killer riding also exists in the dank shadows of this Cascades wonderland. The day after touring the Plains, we explored the remarkable lush Lewis River trail, which serves up 10 glorious miles of point-to-point ripping through Jurassic old growth. We entered the buff, tight singletrack seconds from our campsite, charging down the gentle, endless roller coaster, zipping past giant ferns, enormous trees and little waterfalls."

"When Dan and I first landed in Alaska, our thoughts naturally turned to getting in a quick ride before the evening sun set. But by the time we arrived at the Gold Mint trailhead, 8 o'clock had come and gone; hopes of getting a decent pedal that day had all but evaporated. But incredibly, Tony, our guide, was putting on his shoes, testing his tires and preparing to head out. We shot this image a good two hours into the ride, in June light that refused to retreat. In Alaska, limitless terrain and endless light make it seem possible to ride forever. "

"The drop-in to Horsethief Bench might be Fruita’s most famous technical section of trail. It is a minefield littered with chunky boulders, and is covered in carnage-inducing loose sand. Most visitors will, at some point, take a stab at it. But despite all the puffy chests and posturing exhibited at the top, it is rarely ridden cleanly or successfully. It’s over my head, but after watching Ryan repeatedly ride the section with fluidity and grace, it almost looked easy. I watched, envious of his natural ability, and wondered if that is not one of the primary jobs of the gifted—to allow the rest of us to live vicariously through their talents."

"This stunt is called the “Severed Hand,” and it is the first of seven stunts on a trail deep in the mountains of Burnaby, British Columbia. The massive roots of the 200-year-old cedar wrap around the rocks like a hand, with the tree stump playing the part of a wrist. As a trail builder, I spend much of my time searching for unique natural features and thinking of ways to use them on a trail. Using natural elements saves time, energy, is least disturbing to the forest, and lastly, looks darn cool."
