Video: River riding in Meghalaya with Gregory Allya Warjri

September 13, 2018September 13, 2018 Freerider MTB MAG

Follow Gregory from Shillong, India, as he rides his bike down a river in Meghalaya! This looks fun! Mountain biking is one sport that I love. Have been riding since I was a kid. Been riding varied terrain in Meghalaya and I always like trying something new. After tarmac, loose & rocky terrain, this one has to be one of the most exciting and challenging one yet, with it’s slippery slab, deep holes and pools that you might fall into. I’d want to organize a race one day on…

Video: Love & Warfare | Alex Volokhov

April 17, 2018 Vinay Menon

Love & Warfare Riding can be a very solitary sport at times. Often accompanied by long days solo building, overcoming injury and pushing through fear. Riders, like Alex Volokhov, tend to have passion for the sport that borders on insanity. Pushing through risk and pain to capture that feeling of accomplishment. Before Alex and I started filming he had been building in the woods for weeks. He had just finished building 4 new features and was moving back to Nelson in 2 weeks. Time was running thin and we…

Video: Volcano Mission on Mt Bromo, Indonesia with Matej Charvat

December 6, 2017January 9, 2018 Vinay Menon

Words/Photos: Matej Charvat There are not many of active volcanoes in Europe. We know them from movies, books or even just from the internet. Until I stood at the edge of an active crater, I just simply couldn’t imagine the power, which is somewhere deep there under. This mission couldn’t have happened without a bike and a camera. The feeling when you are walking up the crater, feeling kind of little rumble, and you know something is happening deep in your body. Everything around is shaking a bit and the wind…
