Living A FORCE OF NATURE Lula Darquier
"A few years after moving to Whistler to ski, mountain biking became my life. The girls at Women's Nights became my friends and my job was something I did between biking and sleeping. Riding the Park is now my home and the people and experiences here allow me to live it". - Lula Darquier, Whistler Mountain Bike Park Team Rider.

The Tetons By Yeti Cycles
A land largely unaffected by the progress of man, the Tetons Range and the surrounding areas are a pristine ecosystem inhabited by a vast diversity of wildlife spreading across multiple national parks. Uninhibited by foothills on the eastern side the range rises sharply and splits upper Wyoming and lower Idaho in two. On one side sits Jackson Hole, home to the legendary ski area and playground to outdoor junkies. On the other resides the Teton Valley: a landscape dotted with hay farms and the small rustic towns of eastern Idaho. Smack in the middle, off the pass that separates the two, lies some of the most progressive mountain bike trails in America. Local riders teaming with the Forest Service have created a network of trails designed and built specifically for riding. We explored both sides of the pass and rode varied terrain from purpose-built bike park features to backcountry singletrack, clinging to the edge of 10,000-foot peaks. The experience instilled a sense in us that the locals have got it figured out here, and the need for a satellite Yeti office in JH.

You Don't Know... Mark Weir
Mark Weir is an icon. He's the tough man of modern mountain biking. The grimacing guy, charging down an ugly stretch of trail at ungodly speeds. The guy who kept pronouncing The Coming of Enduro long before anyone even took the notion seriously. And, despite his getting a bit grey in the beard, Mark Weir is also still one of the fastest riders on the scene.
Weir, however, is a hell of a lot more complicated--and interesting--than any and all of that. This short film begins to shed a bit of light on that fact, but this is just the beginning.
Keep your eyes peeled here for a longer feature story on Mark Weir. In the meantime, click play.
