Dancing in the Mountains | Award-winning Freeride MTB Documentary

In the past few years, we’ve seen tremendous growth among women in Mountain Biking and the caliber is rapidly increasing. Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Hailey Elise spent her formative years adventuring on Vancouver's North Shore, the birthplace of freeride mountain biking. Now based in Whistler, she's working towards pursuing a full-time professional career, but the journey hasn't been easy. The pressure, the injuries, the mental blocks. After her second significant crash in a year, we find her healing, dreaming, and working with friends turned family to prepare for her next big move. This short docu-film is a meditation on transformative physical and mental pain and a crew of friends profoundly connected by bikes and wild ideas.

Great video, good to see a tight crew work together to produce a trail..far too many love to ride but are allergic to imagine and build and pick up tools 🤙🤙👏👏😈⚒️

Great job, you guys. What an inspiration. I have had a few bad accidents. I still want to ride, I think I will. Thank you

Mobbing in the woods and building trail is definitely one of the best things, from scouting to imagining to testing everything so it all flows jump to jump, it's something every experienced rider should do, such a special creative process to carve by hand and share. Excellent words on injuries and mindset, but when biking is bliss, there's no question of training to get back in the flow. Bikes are the best, excellent video!

Love how the clan\family vibe shines through the video. As an mtb coach i am very interested why you think there are so few women into mtb'ing. Yes there is growth but also in your group its just you. And more personally why is there only one girl in your group?
