Rider on the Storm - James Doerfling

We are constantly inspired by the environment in which we ride. We are often filled with awe and respect when we head out on 2 wheels.

Once in a while mother nature also scares the hell out of us, reminding us just how small we are and also how lucky we are to be alive and able to enjoy our sports.

James Doerfling was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. Lucky enough to have cut his teeth riding some of the most epic and jaw-droppingly beautiful trails out there.

Recently the wilderness right on his doorstep was hit by weeks of wildfires. Once the fires eventually stopped, the bleakness of the landscape that was left behind was striking.

In this recent video collaboration with SR Suntour, watch Doerfling shred through a familiar yet alien landscape, ravaged by wildfire - loam replaced by ashes, lush green leaves replaced by charred trees.
