This Is Home 7 minutes

Many mountain bike athletes start their careers early, honing skills well before the first signs of adolescence. Then there’s Jackson Goldstone. The Squamish, B.C. youth shot to stardom in 2010 when a homemade video of him riding, jumping, dropping and spinning his balance bike on the way to kindergarten went viral. Since then, Jackson has risen to the top tiers of the sport, already demonstrating a signature style in mountain bike films and competing on the international stage, shoulder to shoulder with some of the best racers and freeriders in the world Talent has played a large part in Jackson’s extraordinary riding ability, but so has his hometown of Squamish. With one of the most densely packed trail networks on the planet right outside his door, Jackson can challenge himself in any mountain biking discipline he chooses, every day of the year. Whether whipping out jump lines with his friends or pinning long, rugged downhill descents to eclipse his personal record, Jackson always rides to have fun. He thinks you should, too.

Natural Mystic 3 minutes

Natural mystic, an original concept that sees Sam Favret's mind-blowing performance filmed entirely by drone.
Come aboard for three minutes of thundering skiing through the Aiguilles Rouges of Chamonix, no gimmicks or tricks and no music. Instead, the sound of the elements takes pride of place for full immersion into the tracks of this local Chamonix rider.
This year, the challenge was to make the film as pure as possible. We filmed exclusively with drone, sometimes with 2 drones simultaneously, to work on a permanent aerial point of view. It puts us in the eye of a bird that flies over every run of Sam.
The other will, was to use only ski sounds, no music, to stay close to the action, to give it that immersive side to the film.
A real search for the high and contemplative moment.

Slack Sisters 4 minutes

Slacklining has long been a male-dominated realm — but the sport is a natural fit for women, requiring grace, stillness and a fine measure of control and relinquishment. And for the athletes in this film, the benefits go far beyond the physical. “If you’re scared, the line will tell you you’re scared,” one says. “It basically just kind of shakes anything that’s troubling you out of you.”

My Flip'n Wife 2 minutes

Kaylee was introduced to mountain biking during college but only borrowed bikes occasionally and returned them often broken. Later in life she was able to rectify and replace those parts from her poor college days but it was during that time period that she discovered that she had a natural talent for the sport and was hooked. Although her passion for the sport grew and she would often dream about pursuing a career in the sport, the timing wasn't right, she also had other life goals she wanted to accomplish and her riding took a backseat for many years. During this time, she married her best friend, moved to Canada, and started a family. As time went on, this dream seemed less and less likely, as she wrestled 3 young children. In 2017 she moved to Whistler reigniting her passion for riding, and she decided that she wanted to work towards becoming a sponsored freeride mountain biker. She figured the first step in accomplishing this goal should be doing a backflip, on a full suspension mountain bike, in natural terrain. This is something only a very select group of female riders had accomplished at the time. This film documents the first backflip to dirt she ever did. It was a 27 foot, lip to landing, backflip on a full suspension bike. Since then she has picked up several sponsors, competed in different slope style like events, and continued to add new tricks to her quiver. She still recovering from a broken ankle, but her riding has finally reached a level where she is in the process of making a web edit and then pursuing funding for a full feature length film featuring her and directed by her husband, Ryan Gibb (Creator of the movie Life Cycles).
