Path Less Paved: Ocate, New Mexico. Shimano’s latest Originals short film shows us how an open-mind can help us find common ground in the unlikeliest of places.

Reaching the top step of the UCI Downhill World Cup circuit is no mean feat. Staying there? Even harder. But for one of the world’s fastest downhill MTB racers, Marine Cabirou, injury and setback are all just part of the sport—one that’s worth pursuing in order to unlock her full potential.

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.

Today, we release Long Live Chainsaw into the wild. Watch it for free (and then donate to the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation!)

An open mind can help us find common ground in the unlikeliest of places. It’s this mindset that led lifetime cyclist Alex Morgan to gravel riding, and how he leads a fulfilling—if unconventional—life where the plains meet the mountains.

Here at Anthill, we believe bikes make the world a better place. Not only a powerful tool for some of the world’s most complex problems—from climate change to equitable mobility, the global transportation clusterf*ck, and economic and social equality—the bike is a unique play machine, improving mental and physical wellbeing, and making our lives better, day in day out.

Three years ago, PeopleForBikes set out to accelerate the construction of safe and complete bicycle networks in five U.S. cities. The Final Mile, a partnership between Wend Collective and PeopleForBikes, achieved that goal.

Yesterday, May 23rd, was the two-year anniversary of the announcement that 215 unmarked graves had been found at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
