Sardines and Singletrack - Chase adventure on the new Rocky Mountain Instinct

Olympian and athlete Sam Schultz crossed paths with photographer Margus Riga a few years ago and connected through their love of multi-day mountain biking adventures. In 2022, they teamed up for a Rocky Mountain photo shoot and spent three days in the rugged and remote Chilcotin Ranges. During that trip, Sam quickly discovered the definition of getting “Riga'd” - to undersell the difficulty of an adventure with the trust that your friends will probably survive anyway.
A year later, Sam and Margus have a new assignment, this time in Toby Creek, Invermere. In search of yellow larches, beautiful backdrops and sunsets, the team explores the area in search of the perfect shots. Sam wasn't about to get Riga'd this time…
