The Making of Arrival: Episode 2 Brazil

Traveling down to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was one of the most chaotic, but memorable experiences of our lives. We didn’t know what to expect from a place that isn’t well known for mountain biking; the only thing we were told was that it was considered a risky place to travel. We knew that if we were going to travel this far, we’d have to make it count. The decision to bring a high performance athlete like Stevie to Brazil was a no-brainer for all of us, and it shows in his segment.

Steve Smith And Ian Morrison III The Saga Continues

No matter how awesome the riding in Whistler and Pemberton is, it's gone once the snow hits. Spending copious amounts of time with Steve this summer I really noticed a few weak spots in his training program, so Mikey and I headed to Vancouver Island to guide him to further World Cup wins. Checking out the forecast before we were headed out, it looked to be the rainiest 4 days in recent memory. So I grabbed a 15 pack of Lucky and headed to the Island to check out the Island life.

Growing up in whistler i've been exposed to sick trails, rowdyism, bonfires, chainsaws, fireworks and numerous other exciting activities, but nothing would prepare me for the island. Waking up to the sound of pouring rain on the roof is not the greatest motivator to roll out of your warm dry bed, but with Mikey at the helm there is no slacking on the 6 am start time. After a half an hour of hydroplaning down the Island Highway we arrived at Mount Provost.

The term wet does not describe the next 4 days of shooting and the thought of building an ark crossed my mind more than once during our days of shooting. In the end it was a memorable trip to Vancouver Island, the trails were filled with hero dirt for miles and the locals showed us their amazing bowling skills. Dreams were crushed, cops were called, urinals were broken and I can't wait to get back there. I am sure Steve's neighbors are not looking forward to my return.

SRAM: Steve Smith Wandering Teaser

It could have something to-do with his eyes (as crazy looking as they are) or the sheer determination that his amazing mother instilled in him at such a young age. In all honesty it's probably a perfect combination of maturity, skill and that determination that we have all grown to love. This is a look behind the eyes of what is and will be one of the most exciting Canadian DH racers of all time.

Steve is relentless.
