"Well it's been another great year of riding, but like anyone who lives in a colder climate my season could come to an end any day now. I'm lucky to live somewhere that affords 9-10 months of open trails, giving me plenty of time to have fun and enough of a break to get stoked again as the Spring snow melts away."
"I guess I didn't ride anything I'd call a technological breakthrough in 2025, but I definitely rode a lot of nicely refined bikes, components and gear. It looks like there is a big development on the horizon (32" wheels anyone?) and I'll take the chance to ride them as soon as I can. I don't have any particular goals for next year, I just plan to ride as much as possible, test whatever bikes and gear come my way, and as always keep it fun!"
"At the age of 24 I moved to British Columbia, landing in the tiny town of Pemberton (just North of Whistler). I suspected the mountains would pry me away from my BMX past and sure enough I quickly transitioned to MTB. These days I enjoy B.C.'s world class trails riding primarily long-travel trail and enduro bikes. I'm happy to pedal, but I can't deny the joys of pedal assist so I'm equally open to testing MTBs or eMTBs."
Rider experienced a long season with 9-10 months of open trails and reflected on testing many bikes and cycling products. No single technological breakthrough was ridden in 2025, but numerous bikes, components, and gear showed strong refinement. A potential development on the horizon is 32" wheels, and there is intent to try emerging equipment as it becomes available. Goals for the coming year focus on riding as much as possible, testing new bikes and gear, and maintaining fun while prioritizing longevity and injury prevention. Best experience highlighted was Mega Volt and participation in a cycling event.
