Destination Trail - Peru
Welcome to Destination Trail, a series that follows riders as they travel the globe, hunting for its greatest trails. Some of what they find might be renowned, some undiscovered, but that's the point. When expectations and attitudes are stripped away, only the essence of mountain biking remains. This is where adventure thrives, and it's here that memories are made.
In this episode, we follow Matt Hunter as he and his all-new Stumpjumper FSR head to rediscover the remote trails of Lima, Peru. First visiting nearly a decade ago, Matt was shown around by Eduardo "Wayo" Stein, and ever since that initial visit, he's been anticipating his return. This time around, he's passing on his knowledge of the trails to Matt Miles as they visit the historic region surrounding the Puerto Inca Trail. From open-air Incan relics to Mars-scape deserts to lush, rolling greenery, the Puerto Inca covers it all. See why Matt Hunter considers this to be one of his favorite trails on earth.

Trail Hunter - Sun Valley
Matt Hunter and his friends plan a trip every year to reconnect and ride. This year, the group elected to meet in the Sawtooth Range outside of Sun Valley, Idaho. Few places embody the heart of the American West like the Sawtooth. Rugged, wild, and ever changing, it's the perfect place to crack a beer, earn your rides, and laugh with great friends when it's over.

Troy Brosnan Fun Can't Make You Faster
Fun is just a three-letter word for distraction. In this day and age of racing, you have to be focused, dedicated and willing to sacrifice anything that will get in the way of you and the top step of that podium. Fun may be the reason you threw a leg over your bike and charged it down the scariest, fastest and biggest lines you could in the first place, but fun alone can’t make you faster. Having fun on your bike may give us an escape from the every day mundane, fun may give you a chance to experience something that many are not brave enough to attempt, but fun can’t make you faster.
Troy Brosnan walked away from the last round of the UCI World Cup Downhill as the new Overall leader going into the recent month long break. He has spent that last month having nothing but fun on his bike. Exploring new terrain, challenging himself to new environments and conditions, pushing harder than ever…all in the sprit of fun. As Troy enters the next round of the World Cup this weekend in Mont Saint Anne, he will do so for the first time with all eyes on him – as the leader, not a follower. A leader who has been out having nothing but fun doing what he loves on two wheels. But fun can’t make you faster.
