Mark Matthews has the eye of an artist when he builds his trails. He finds a picturesque landscape, identifies a line that complements his riding style, and spends hours in the forest, turning his vision into a creative masterpiece that translates beautifully to the screen. His newest line and the surrounding trail network provided the perfect setting to showcase speed and style against the backdrop of a lush Pacific Northwest forest. Complemented by the raw sounds of Mark’s bike on the trail we hope you enjoy ‘Changing Seasons.’

“When Mark and I talked about filming a raw edit we thought it would be a pretty straight forward project with a bit of extra work capturing quality audio. A few days into the shoot and we realized that wasn’t the case. With a self-imposed parameter of no slow motion, the sheer number of shots needed to fill out a video of a reasonable length was significant. From the beginning we decided to build the edit around a series of long cable camera shots that would put the viewer into the scene. With my homemade, gravity powered cable rig we knew this would be a time-consuming task. What we didn’t know is that we had just committed to a nine-day shoot for a one minute and thirty seven second video.”—Scott Bell, cinematographer

After nearly saying goodbye to his dream of becoming a professional rider, David Trummer thought better of it in the end and bounced back on to the big stage. Following his best season to date (2019), ‘Daveboy’ secured his spot racing for The YT Mob, a dream come true! A silver medal at this year's World Championships was testament to his continued determination and dedication. In the third YT Mob 'Homelife' episode  we visit ‘Daveboy’ in Gnas, Austria to get to know him a little better.
