Two sides of Canada. Two very different stylistic approaches to filming. One very, very good rider. Only Brett Rheeder could release Monochrome back-to-back with the vivid colours of Evergreen without it being a big stretch.
The Ontario-born rider splits his two films between Vallee Bras-Du-Nord in Quebec and, much closer to his new home in B.C., Coast Gravity Park on the Sunshine Coast.

Just because he’s retired from competition does not mean the Canadian is slowing down at all. Dig in to both, or either one as suits your mood.

Fast forward 12 months, after a couple strings pulled and some skilled trail builders hard at work, Clay Porter, Rupert Walker, Tyler Ravelle, and I found ourselves flying across the country with bikes, camera gear and excitement to shoot the brand-new trail at VBN.
Thank you to everyone involved in this project: VBN Trail Crew, Alexandra Power, Antoine Lebeau, Alexandre Verret, Frédéric Asselin, Gabriel Gakwaya, Jade Demers, Jon Gregory, Austin Davignon, and Lawrence Reti, to name a few.
“From trail building to cinematography, every person who worked on this project is a master at their work, which was inspiring on many levels. This was my first project of the 2023 season, and I couldn’t have asked for a better crew. The dirt at VBN is incredible, and the conditions…
