Pedal to the Mettle

Brett Rheeder and Lucy Van Eesteren reach peak enjoyment levels in Revelstoke, dropping in at the top of Boulder Mountain for a rip through the alpine wonderland. With the soles of their Shimano GFs firmly planted on the pins, they unlock the full potential of one of nature’s most perfect riding playgrounds. On the other side of the river, the double-black Martha Creek downhill track offers the best of another world—Rheeder and Van Eesteren swap in dual-crown bikes and full-face helmets for DH duty, but keep the same flats on their feet while painting a loam-filled canvas with their signature creativity and style, charging roots, floating through chicanes and boosting off natural features deep in the B.C. woods.
