Arguably the best show on earth, and it's not even on earth.

I'm bringing Iceland to Bentonville, AR on October 15th. Come join me OZ Bike Park for an afternoon of park laps followed by and evening screening my film "Searching for Supercrust". The film documents my effort alongside 4 of my friends to cross Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajokull, by bike. It is an expedition 30 years in the making and explores the past, present, and future of Vatnajökull through the stories of those who have braved the glacier’s icy expanse on two wheels. You can find more info and tickets on searchingforsupercrust.com or at the link on my page. Stoked for this one!

The screening will be free of charge to all OZ Bike Park Pass Holders.

I've been on back to back to back bike expeditions, river trips, field productions, and events all year. It’s been intense! Through it all, North Performance has been in my corner. Can genuinely say I feel the difference. Between .masi custom formulation and the clinical dosage of all 56 ingredients, North's Performances and Recovery Elixirs are keeping me performing at my best. It’s actually just replaced my entire drawer full of vitamins and supplements and all that stuff simply because it noticeably outperforms them.

If you want to try it out there is a link on my page that will take you straight to the good stuff and right now you'll get a few goodies in with your order.

Crafting great action photos is an elusive art. It often comes down to capturing a feeling - a fleeting moment when environment, subject, and photographer are in perfect synchrony. It took me many years at the beginning of my career to create these moments in the surf world. Since then I've humbly attempted to replicate it across other sports, always starting with the same fundamentals. Things like lens choice, shutter speed, and physical position are what make or break these moments. I talk through all this and more in my photography guide "Out There" and this weeks episode of the accompanying YouTube series "Inside 'Out There'" that my friends helped us put together.

Did you know some of the largest trees in the world rise into the cool moist air mere hours from the sun-baked streets of Los Angeles? Known to reach ages of up to 3,400 years some of the Giant Sequoias predate that city by over 3,000 years. As they grow, their rings document climatic flux, fires, pollutants, and more - helping scientists understand what was happening in the world before we humans began writing stuff down. being in their presence is an awe-inspiring experience. That history and commanding presence was what I wanted to capture during this assignment from back in 2023 when we went to Sequoia and two other national parks for their book on America's National Parks.
Unfortunate I have to say this, but because there was some confusion in the past let me be clear: ai was not involved in any way shape or form in the creation, development, or any other part of the production of these images.
