This is so good! Seriously though… I’ve been out of mountain biking for many moons. Watching companies like ACRE-Supply create rad goods and folks like John Watson documenting mountain rippage… I’ve got the itch again (my wallet is currently packing its bags and jumping out of my pocket).
Go over to ACRE and check out DECOMPRESSION. It’s filled with John’s photo’s. These are two of my favorite. Cheers

LMAO!! Seriously great! Dan Barham is the mastermind behind some of the ACRE shots I’ve posted about previously. This is EPIC!

This is absolutely brilliant! Dan can take one hell of a good photo. Very inspiring.
“Initially, the Wander project was inteded to be an experiment in product testing. Bring the Acre kit far from home and subject it to a proper beating, in a relentless way. Of course, this would all be documented in photos. But how to keep the photo project from interfering with the primary goal of product testing? This was our concurn. As the project took shape, we came to the conclusion that film photography would be the way to go for this trip.” – Mission Workshop
I totally agree. Below are my two favorite from the bunch:

I’m in love with this photo (in case you were wondering). Mission Workshop is up to its usual alchemy of infusing unobtainium with riding gear once again.
“This is our latest, and most notable, launch since we brought the Arkiv system to life. Holding up to same high standards as Mission Workshop gear, ACRE will be made with light and weatherproof materials, without sacrificing durability, and fit for riding. The new ACRE Trail System™ of hydration packs and apparel was designed to balance the need to climb light and fast with durable protection from the elements.” – MW
